Apps like Netflix works a treat with no hiccups. It still runs Windows 10, the hinge stand operates as sturdy as ever with the flexibility to angle the Surface Go flat when I feel like drawing. Battery still fares around that and it could be better, but isn’t a big deal considering that. Not great as a tablet form factor, but the ease of connecting a power bank through USB C makes charging convenient and means you don’t need to find a nearby wall socket to charge.
Battery life is one of its lesser strengths since it tops out around 4- hours and less depending on how hard you push it. Productivity is one of its strengths so doing any document, excel work while travelling is a breeze, especially as you can ditch a bigger laptop. But batch photos are open to edit or one at a time and you can tweak on the fly pretty smoothly. It handles light photo editing software nicely with the limitations being fast brush strokes drawing with the pen, several adjustments and layers, and more advanced photo editing features. Within the realms of productivity and media consumption, I’d had it connected to my monitor and TV and noticed no slowdowns – not as fast and snappy as the big brothers of the Surface Laptop, Pro, Studio, Book and X, naturally – but for its specs, satisfying in what it produces. There’s a 64GB / 4GB and 128GB / 8GB RAM Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y configuration and I opted for the latter for better futureproofing as the 128GB storage uses an SSD versus the eMMC of the 64GB which is much slower to access and the extra RAM gives you more leeway to run multiple programs without slowdown or more intensive tasks (within expectations).ġ year later, the original Surface Go has held up really well, feeling as fast as in the beginning, and everything is fully operational as you’d expect or hope.
