Gone are the stark, angled edges of the Surface Pro in lieu of rounder, softer edges that help give this version of the Surface its own distinct identity.īeyond that, this device is largely the same in design as its forebears, except smaller. The first major hint toward the Surface Go’s intended audience is the rather prominent rounding of the edges and angles that Microsoft has applied to the device. However, Microsoft clearly put some design effort into this version, opening it up to a larger audience, specifically students. But, the display isn’t quite as good as either alternative, and it’s limited to 4GB of RAM as its only configuration.Īt first glance, the 1.15-pound (0.52kg) Surface Go appears simply to be the Surface Pro shrunken down by 2.3 inches on the diagonal, and that’s largely true – excellent kickstand and all. Plus, both the stylus and keyboard cover are included for just $399 (about £300, AU$534) to get the model with 128GB of storage. If you’re after a Windows 10 device, there’s the Asus Transformer Mini, which is extremely similar to the Surface Go in that it offers a 10.1-inch Windows tablet with a kickstand. If you want the iPad to match the Surface Go in storage, the 64GB model will set you back $429 (£409, AU$599), though memory stays at 2GB in all configurations. The Surface Go’s biggest rival, Apple’s iPad 2018, starts at $329 (£319, AU$469, AED 1,349) to start, which gets you 32GB of flash storage and 2GB of memory – half as much as the starter Surface Go in either case, but with a sharper display.
Meanwhile, you can get the Surface Pro for as little as $399 (£379, AU$599, AED 1,699), with 64GB of eMMC storage and 4GB of memory, with the rest of the specs remain the same.įinally, a standard black nylon Type Cover is available for a more palatable $99 (£99, AU$149), bringing all of the same features in a slightly less premium feel and look.
The Surface Go configuration we reviewed here will set you back $549 (£509, AU$839, AED 2,399), and it’s the highest-end version of the tablet offered by Microsoft.
