Surface Go sounds great, but depending on what you’re looking for, the devil is definitely in the details. Microsoft promises the Surface Go can handle productivity apps like Office and casual apps like Spotify and Netflix. That means Surface Go has everything you would expect from a Windows 10 machine, from features like Windows Hello (signing in with facial recognition) all the way to supporting decades of third-party apps. Surface Go is running Windows 10 Home in S mode (which you can turn off for free), though schools will be able to purchase the Surface Go with Windows 10 Pro via commercial channels for an extra $50. Surface Go is definitely not part of the company’s Windows on ARM efforts. Hardware aside, the best part here is that Microsoft is not shipping Surface Go with a limited version of Windows, as it did with Surface RT, for example. The USB-C 3.1 port can be used for charging, as well as data transfer. Speaking of battery life and charging the device, the Surface Go supports USB-C, first introduced to the Surface line with the Surface Book 2. The tradeoff for all these features is battery life: Microsoft expects the Surface Go to get up to 9 hours of battery life, which is less than estimates for the Surface Laptop (14.5 hours), Surface Pro (13.5 hours), and Surface Book (17 hours). Also like the Surface Pro, Microsoft even managed to squeeze a microSDXC card reader into the Surface Go under the kickstand.
