The editors didn't like
The CPU is still pretty underwhelming
The Surface Go is a 2-in-1 laptop. But it's a very
Very good one that jumps up to being exceptional when you consider its price versus other devices of the same ilk. It ships as a tablet
But for an additional $100-
The Pentium processor isn't suited for all tasks. A keyboard cover is a must-have add-on
But still sold separately. And you'll probably want to pay extra for more storage and RAM
Too

No fingerprint reader on base model
Very poor specs on base models

Janky touchscreen for some apps like Chrome
Keyboard and stylus sold separately
Huge

Keyboard is cramped and costs extra
Narrow for on-lap use
No full-size USB ports
Average performance
USB-C hub may be needed for I/O expansion

Big bezels mean screen is cramped
Dongles
Screen resolution is underwhelming
Entry-level configuration makes big spec compromises
Good, Well-designed and extremely portable, Flexibility of Windows, Excellent display
Underwhelming battery life, Not great as a pure tablet
