Here are the specifications of the Microsoft Surface Go: But as we’d see in the later sections, the processor is surprisingly good. This is because the device comes with an Intel Pentium Gold fan-less processor, which is clearly a stranger in a market flooded by Intel Core i3, i5 and i7. On the first peek at the spec sheet, the Surface Go might feel a bit underpowered. The device is primarily for a lot of work on-the-go and that’s what I’ll be giving most of my attention to, in this review. I got a chance to review the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model and my observations are based on these specifications and not the entry-level 4GB RAM model. Although I have also managed to put the Surface Go through demanding tasks such as running Adobe Photoshop CC 19 and games such as CS:GO, I have taken due care to avoid this from majorly impacting my opinion about the Surface Go, since the device is not designed for such a workload.īefore I start, I must clarify that the Surface Go comes in three different configurations, of which only two are available here in India.

Thus, the key areas that I will focus on include mobility, ease of use, I/O options, and its ability to be a full-fledged computer. This review analyzes how well the Microsoft Surface Go fits into the mobile tablet computer category.
