@@hk6926 Yes! I still have mine. I typing this reply on mine. I haven't had any issues at all. What they started doing with an update over the past few months, was to make all your open tabs fall asleep so you have more power/memory to use the open non-sleep apps. I only use the standard operating program and have not upgraded to get google, etc. It works just fine how it is. Right now, I have 38 tabs open! And only 7 tabs are asleep. No issues whatsoever. I would definitely purchase this again. I have the keyboard, pen and mouse. The only thing I NEVER use is the PEN. It's just attached to my surface like a piece of decoration, and never used. I never use this surface in tablet mode because it's just so much easier to use in computer mode with the mouse even in bed :D It sets up anywhere in any angle. Best computer I've ever purchased! If you have any additional questions, send another message. You won't be disappointed unless you use your computer like a workhorse.

Would you kindly tell me which generation processor surface go 2 M3? is it 8th gen or higher? thanks in advance

Thankfully there are cheaper third party options like the Renaisser pen and inatek bluetooth keyboard case. Hope the go2 let's you boot from SD card-cant on the go1

If you can get a gold one for two hundred bucks is it worth getting in 2020 for some video 1080P and photo editing or I can get an XPS 15 or 650 but I hear people complain about the trackpad maybe it was just one batch

The remaining 10% would use it for Photoshop like productivity on the go.

Thanks for this comparison, very useful and a classic example of Apple products not delivering value for money. I ended up going for the 1st Gen 4415Y with 8 gig and SSD, just becasue of the savings over the Go2 and the m3 model, especially when you start to factor in the keyboard and pen costs. I only use mine for MS office and web use, and have no problems in performance, for me its the RAM and SSD which makes the real difference at this price point. My daily was a Thinkpad X1 carbon 5th Gen, with a i5 7300u and 8 gig of RAM, and now I find myself more reaching for my Surface now.

@write2nick

Oh. Similar to me. I don’t play games on Windows and have Think pad X1 carbon but my wife is using it all the time. My work laptop is 5 years old and very heavyweight so I wanted to get small and light laptop to use it around the house. I’m not planning to do any heavy excel work because that requires big screen. What I really plan to use it for is running Outlook and reply emails here and there. You may ask why don’t you use smart phone for outlook but there is no way to assign or view categories in mobile version. So I hope the pentium version is good enough for my use. What do you think?

@Shand1982

3 жыл бұрын

@@write2nick Hi, yes, I think the Pentium would be more than sufficient, so long as you go for the 8 GB Ram and SSD version, it should hold up fine. I mostly use mine for OneNote and Outlook now, and very rarely web browsing but it's more than capable with a few tabs open, including HD streaming content. However, the more I've used it the more I wonder if I should have got the Pro with the larger screen, only because of OneNote and use of the pen is my main use-case, sometimes a larger 'piece of paper' would come in handy. Finally, be aware that frustratingly the Go Mk1 wont support Windows 11, the 4415Y chip isn't supported for some crazy reason, just incase that is an important factor in your decision. I believe the Go 2 with the 4425Y is supported under Windows 11. Hope that helps.

Even though I use Chrome on most of my other computers, I do not on my Pentium Gold 8GB Go 2, just because I want to take it easy on the Go 2 😅 ... also now that Edge is Chromium-based, I’ve felt no need to use Chrome. I would not get the base model because 8GB is the lowest I want to go on a Windows machine on which I’ll be firing up SQL Server Management Studio and Visual Studio 2019. 🤷🏽‍♂️
