By delivering a good looking, good performing device at a price point far more people can afford, Microsoft is doing something its rivals like Apple and Google often neglect.
This actually makes it a more interesting device than other Surface products, which usually aim for premium and high-end markets. Size: 9.65 inches x 6.9 inches x 0.33 inches (245mm x 175mm x 8.3mm W x D x H) Price and availabilityĪs with the original Surface Go, the Surface Go 2 is an affordable device from Microsoft, and is aimed at taking on Chromebooks when it comes to appealing to students. Ports: 1x USB-C, combi audio jack, Surface Connect port, Surface Type Cover port, microSSDXC card readerĬamera: 5MP 1080p Windows Hello front-facing camera, 8MP 1080p rear-facing camera Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 615 (integrated) Here is the Microsoft Surface Go 2 configuration sent to TechRadar for review:ĬPU: 1.7GHz Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y (dual-core, 2MB Cache) Instead, you need to buy them separately, and that again adds to the overall cost of the product. The other thing to note is that while you might see photos of the Surface Go 2 with the Type Cover, which not only protects the screen, but includes a keyboard and touchpad for turning the Surface Go 2 into a laptop-like device, these are not included with the tablet. Hopefully, Microsoft will fix that in the upcoming Surface Go 3. So, while this line does give a more budget-friendly option to consumers, it’s not going to be the best value for those looking for a more powerful tablet. Also, the higher specced it is, the more this tablet starts to become more expensive – and thus less competitive for people looking for a bargain.
You can get Surface Go 2 configurations with a bit more powerful innards, but they’ll hardly break any records. That 64GB storage will also feel incredibly tight after you've installed a few apps.
This model only comes with 4GB RAM, 64GB storage and an Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y dual-core processor, which is pretty underpowered. At $399/£399/AU$547 for its entry-level model, the Surface Go 2 is certainly an appealing proposition for the budget-minded.
