Microsoft Surface Go (MCZ-00015) (Pentium Dual Core/8 GB/128 GB SSD/Windows 10)

Although the Surface Go is a niche product, it is one that is rapidly expanding. With every major hardware manufacturer focusing on smaller productivity tablets, Microsoft has finally perfected the concept of the smaller Surface device, once again demonstrating how it’s done. While the Surface Go could be compared to a smaller Surface Pro, the reality is that the market is moving toward smaller and smaller computing devices. The Surface Go, a full-fledged 10-inch computer, is now available to meet them.

Of course, we could whine about the lack of accessories, the fact that it’s technically inferior to the new iPad, and the fact that the screen could be crisper, all of which are reasonable criticisms. However, if you’re considering the new iPad or another 10-inch tablet to replace the Surface Go as your primary computing device, or even as a secondary device, it’s difficult to match this stunning machine that’s genuinely a computer in every sense of the word.
