I've been using it for a week now and what I was expecting was a low-end Windows computer to go along with its processor and price. I was expecting to be unimpressed with its small keyboard. We've seen this story before, after all: first with netbooks and then with the original low-end Surfaces.

Ultra portable; Great keyboard; Good battery life

Big bezels mean screen is cramped; Dongles; Upgraded model is pricey

The small-scale Surface Go from Microsoft recasts the larger Surface Pro two-in-one as a casual computer you can toss in a bag and take anywhere. But, the change in size, price and processing power presents a lot of questions for would-be buyers.

The Surface Go delivers Microsoft's great Surface design and accessories at a lower price and in a smaller size

The Pentium processor isn't suited for all tasks; A keyboard cover is a must-have add-on but still sold separately; And you'll probably want to pay extra for more storage and RAM, too; Battery life is lacking for a go-anywhere PC

Picked up from Markham store yesterday in excellent package. The initial setup and 1st Windows Update didn't take too long (~20mins) w/ my 100/10 wi-fi internet, also "Switch out of S Mode" easily and have the Windows Home back in order to install my favorite windows softwares (Firefox, winrar,...

The small-scale Surface Go from Microsoft recasts the larger Surface Pro two-in-one as a casual computer you can toss in a bag and take anywhere. But, the change in size, price and processing power presents a lot of questions for would-be buyers. To answer the most pressing ones:

The new Microsoft Surface Go is the perfect size for casual coffee-shop computing, but getting the full experience quickly drives up the price.

I had a Surface 3, the spiritual predecessor of this tablet. The Surface Go is much faster in the 8GB/128GB SSD format. For every day light computing use, the tablet is great and does everything very quickly. Browsing the web, watching videos and running desktop Microsoft Office is all flawless.

We've not seen the Surface Go in the flesh yet but it's certainly an attractive device in terms of price and portability. However, it has drawbacks including the lack of full-size USB and the limitations of Windows 10 S. Whether you need to spend a significant amount more on the Pro comes down to what you need the Surface to do. If you need to do anything beyond basic tasks then it's likely you will need to. Bear in mind that neither comes with the Type Cover keyboard or other accessories.

The Surface Go is not without its issues, but slap on a keyboard and it's a genuine gamechanger

Easily set up, loads up instantly, haven't had issues loading anything super fast, bought for a friend in uni, hasn't failed her.

So where does this leave the Surface Go In a unique position, which has its pluses and negatives. On the negative side, you will never get the same range of keenly priced tablet-focused apps as on iOS.

Excellent keyboard; Superb screen; Well-priced

Performance can be slow at times; Battery life isn't as good as iPad Pro

It’s an ultra portable tiny tablet task king that’s both stylish and useful. Like having a mini computer on you at all times, it’s reassuring to know you can fix that last bit of work on the way to or from work. Or take it with you to meetings and not have to lug your laptop around. Despite the specs not sounding so promising, the processor is completely adequate for everyday tasks for most people and the screen is lovely. Kudos to Microsoft who’ve jumped ahead of the competitors having MicroSD card and Windows Hello, which allows you to log in using your face, which we have seen on the Galaxy tab S4, but not on iPad. After using the Go for two weeks, and as someone who's never felt the need for a tablet, I’ve totally changed my mind.

Like a mini PC; Facial recognition; Great at multi-tasking; Stylish and sleek;

No accessories included; Screen could be better;
