I have the first Go and I love it. I have my own work laptop, so I don't need anything as big as 13" as a second portable device. But I need to do work on it, so I love that I can have a device running the same OS (I got win10 pro on my surface go). It works well for light programming, and even for teaching online lectures. And IT FITS IN MY PURSE. I love it and I hope it will have a deserved success on the market. No other device out there offers portability + a PC operating system and it's really well made.

Fun Fact, as the Go has a USB port, you can use a cheap keyboard mouse combo like you can do on a desktop. There are even some keyboards that are small. Try that on an iPad with out a series of dongles. Also, the iPad nor your Desktop came with a keyboard either.

Great review

I had the original Surface Go. I used it for about 2 days before I returned it. It's just too slow. Taking notes had noticeable lag with the pen. Google has gone out of their way to make their apps so slow on Edge they're borderline unusable. Taking it out of S Mode to install Chrome or Firefox filled up the 4GB of RAM in seconds. I ended up getting a not-quite-base model Surface Pro 5 and am still happy with it. The Go 2 with the m3 processor and 8GB of RAM may be a great choice for a lot of people, but at that price you may as well get an older model Pro, you can still find them new.

That is a beautiful place!

the surface go 1/2 use a different type cover connection from the previous devices. actually, I've been told that the covers from "regular" surface gen 4 and up are incompatible with pro 2 (and down) even though the connectors seem like they should be the same. at the very least, when i plugged my pro 2 into a current-gen typecover at the store it did not automatically start working (but i also didn't have an internet connection at the time, so perhaps if i had it would have installed some drivers and it would have worked?) I've bought surface 3 typecovers for my pro 2 (because the width is the same while the pro 3 typecovers are too wide) and that has worked, though.

A piece of advice, make sure you get the Core m3 model, it makes a world of difference! Trust me, it's worth the extra cost for the upgrade. They don't even advertise it on Best Buy without digging, you have to make sure you click the processor options when you add it to your cart. Do NOT get the "gold" Pentium chip, it's horrible.

Excellent video!

How is the resolution?

it's simply because core M3 8100Y is good enough for 80% of people out there. also its light and easy to use. If Microsoft make these and include the keyboard alongside the deal it'd basically be the default recommendation for any students out there.

This man needs to be on the radio. It's like listening to Casey Kasem.

I bought a surface go 1, and have been using it since august last year (I think that is when I bought it) and I have never had the attached keyboard, nor do I have the urge to do so. I use my go 1 as a second device. I use it as an ebook reader, movie watcher, and email monitor. I don't use it as a heavy lifter. Could I have gotten an ipad to an android tablet to do the same thing? Maybe. But I am not in the ios world at all, and I don't trust android to stay updated for 3+ years. I know my x86 based windows device will continue to receive updates. But I do not have the keyboard, and I have no urge to do so.

SG2 is a computer in the form of a small tablet. Most people interested in this device already have a portable laptop, so they don't need an undersized keyboard. What they need is a surface pen so the SG2 can be used as a tablet that increases their productivity. If you want a laptop get the SP7. Too bad this device was launched after I brought my Tab s6...

There are two obvious reasons why the keyboard does not come in the box: firstly because you might have the keyboard from the original surface go lying around which is still compatible, and secondly because there are multiple keyboards to choose from.

Interesting to see people say that this can't replace a laptop or most people have a laptop anyway. I currently have the surface pro 4 that I use for school, entertainment, and work. I actually have a laptop that I haven't touched in years since getting my surface. I will be getting the 8 gb memory 128 surface SSD go 2 today so I can have a backup. Slightly concerned about the negative view about the speed so I will be testing it out because I make calls through crm for work. The only thing that I probably should have done differently is not keep my surface pro plugged in all the time so I think that I now need a new battery...ooops I won't make that mistake again. I also bought the accessories online which included the keyboard, a Bluetooth mouse, (docking station but not the Microsoft version because of price and I didn't like the look of it), a second cover that also works as a kickstand and mat, pen, USB c to a adapter so I can use the docking station with my pro as well.. Overall, I paid $715 total for everything brand new.. I have a hate type of relationship for used or renewed electronics and I don't think it was a bad deal. Excited to have two surface devices that will keep me from buying bulky laptops especially since I'm moving out of country and I need portable and lightweight fully functional Microsoft computers to go along with my kindle.

Download Throttlestop to get the SG2's Pentium Gold processor to run as fast as an i5 processor. Unlike high-performance mode, it won't destroy battery life. I still get around 10 hours of continuous KZread viewing.

We tested it with my office set up with 2 external displays and ran different videos in each screen and opened different office files and had a skype conversation at the same time and the Pentium chip handled it all fine through the surface Dock - so just one cable. The new one will be even more capable and have better battery and screen. It is going to be a great machine. The Surface Pro is already a fabulous machine. It is strange that it can do so much and it is just a slate. There is nothing I have ever wanted to do (including Adobe, and other work) that I cannot do on my surface pro. I just wish it had a better battery. )I have a Surface pro 2017 so the newer ones have a better battery). Although I do now charge it with a 65W PD charger and a USB-C to surface power cable.

I'm not sure how that guy is directing his answer, but S mode, using only apps from the store, will extend your battery life. Those apps, and the way that they are managed, are designed for battery efficiency... However, I still get decent battery life on my Go when i use non-store apps... I rarely catch myself needing more power, as long as i go out with a full charge ;)

It can play 4K btw

The idea is that you keep your keyboard and upgrade the tablet, when a new one comes out. Saves on waste too.
