If you can, spring for the $549 config instead. Its smaller, slower storage drive and limited RAM might make multitasking and demanding apps feel slower. The tantalizingly priced $399 version might not be a great pick if you need Surface Go to serve as your main computer. It might not be able to take on the iPad Pro in terms of sheer computing power or battery life, but Surface Go is nicely priced and good enough for college students, or anyone who has the budget for a second computer. Despite its slower Intel chips, we enjoyed using it, and gave it a 7/10 when we reviewed it in 2018.īecause of its excellent Surface Pen compatibility, Go is awesome for note taking, and with a Type Cover attached, it’s a surprisingly good, if tiny, laptop. If your needs are minimal, or you prefer tiny computers, this is what you should buy. It’s a smaller and significantly cheaper Surface tablet. The most affordable, smallest member of the Surface lineup is the 10-inch Surface Go. Even fingerprint sensors feel like a chore after this. Once you get used to that it’s hard to ever go back to typing in your password. Microsoft also gives users some great tech standards, like a Windows Hello IR camera that lets you log into Windows with your face lickety-split.
It’s not going to edit your next 4K feature film, but it’s plenty powerful enough for most of us working on documents, browsing the web, and checking email. Microsoft says it worked closely with AMD to tune the chip for the best possible performance. The 15-inch model uses an AMD Ryzen chip rather than the usual Intel variety. In 2019 Microsoft added a 15-inch model to its Surface Laptop line (see our full review). It severs the connection between the wall plug and the computer before the laptop goes flying across the room like a Frisbee. If you’re a klutz who trips over your power cord all the time, this can be a lifesaver. Ports are one place where the Surfaces skimp, but in 2019 you now get a USB-C port along with your good old-fashioned USB-A port. The Surface Laptop has a gorgeous, 13.5-inch high-resolution display, a lovely keyboard, a stellar glass trackpad, and a slim case. No, it’s not a tablet, but the Surface Laptop is a great laptop. Kickstands and clicky magnetic keyboard covers don’t work well in every situation, so we’re going with the Surface Laptop 3 as the best pick for most people. It isn’t as smart or stylish as the transforming, flexible models that made the Surface brand famous, but sometimes (maybe most of the time) what you really need is a laptop.
