I like this product. The combination of lowish powered processor and medium capacity battery mean that in order to give a reasonable 3 hour running time the processor speed has to be set slow in order to conserve battery. This results in delays between clicking and the event occurring, I'm prepared to accept this in exchange for a machine which doubles as a fully configured laptop and a tablet of small (10inch) and light proportions. The resolution of the screen gives a user experience which is superb with the whole machine able to be extended using a port extender to give various usb, wired network , sd card reader and hdmi port. I have used this for CAD work, office work and low powered games (It's not a gaming machine). I've used it extensively for web search and have found my complete experience to be a pleasant one with the facial recognition login and password substitute a major bonus! You won't be disappointed.Read full review

The main thing that lets this product down is the battery life. Only getting about 4hours maximum usage until recharge.

First of all the battery as everyone says is poor. Such a shame as it’s the only major issue. The surface go with 8gb has more than enough punch to make it snappy at doing everyday Tasks easy. I know it’s not a gaming machine but I did install Fallout 4 and it did play quite well without crashing. For me it’s my word processor, emails, netflix, nowtv with a good amount of Rocket league and the official world of tanks and world of warships. Playing games like that on a smaller screen means you can dial back the graphics to medium or low and it runs smooth. Personally brand new you need the 8gb machine or the surface will run too slow. I’m glad I didn’t buy new. The cost of the machine, keypad and pen ( which isn’t needed but is very good) is too much for what it’s worth. You could pay a little more and get a larger screen surface pro. But this wins in size. Boots up with windows hello super fast. Don’t worry about this safe mode stuff. This surface go was in safe mode. Disabled it so I could install the things I want like antivirus, chrome, steam and it skips along quite well. If you need battery life, look at an iPad. If you need gaming, look at a £500 gtx1050 laptop. If you want something middle of the road. This surface go might suit you. You can do sketches on this machine but the screen is a little small. But there’s something about that this surface go. You don’t mind it been in your bag and it’s up and running in a flash. Don’t try and charge by the usb c port, it does work but takes ages.

needed a cheap and small laptop for teams and zoom calls the cameras are excellent and the on board microphones are exceptional. i would recommend the 8GB over the 4GB as that gives you a bit of breathing space in terms of having several applications open at once. The detachable keyboard is really nice to type on and doubles as a cover.

Excellent device, small form-factor has its limitations but the ability to fun full Windows and therefore full versions of Word Excel etc is extremely useful. Small form means its emiently portable. Alcantara keyboard is also excellent.
