Q: What's the difference between the surface go and the surface pro?

A: The surface go and the surface pro are similar concepts targeted at different kinds of consumers. The Surface Go is meant to be an "everyday laptop/tablet". Alone, the surface go is a small, lightweight tablet perfect for browsing the web and watching netflix. With the extra keyboard attachment, the surface go can become and "everyday laptop, for typing word documents and having windows open side by side. The Surface Pro is meant to be a "professional laptop/tablet". If you want all the capability of the surface go but a larger screen and more processing/graphics power for photo/video editing, the Surface Pro will do more for you.

Q: What are the practical advantages of 8GB RAM vs 4GB and 256GB storage vs. 128GB. What would I be able to do (or do better) with more storage that is worth another $150?

A: The response time and ability to run multiple apps/ programs. The 8gig ram is more responsive and does not lag significantly like the 4gig ram did for me. If you're just browsing and watching movies and don't necessarily runs multiple apps at a time then the base model is fine.

Q: Will bestbuy sell the business edition (WIndows 10 PRO)? If not, could I upgrade from home to pro for $50 extra (extra cost of business edition) rather than the usual $100 for upgrade?

A: The Surface Go, out of the box, comes with Windows 10 Pro in S mode. You can switch out of S mode one time for free and run the full version of Windows 10 Pro.

Q: Is this laptop thin and lightweight? I’m starting college and want something that’s easy to hold and can be transported from class to class. Hoping to get this as it seems to be the best option so far

A: The Surface Go is a great option for college students. This device is thinner and more lightweight than ever before at a mere 1.15 lbs (not including the type cover.) The dimensions of the device are ultra sleek at: 9.65” x 6.9” x 0.33” (245 mm x 175 mm x 8.3 mm) We hope this helps!

Q: Does the new Surface Go have an HDMI out port? If not, will the new versions coming in Oct and Nov have the capability? How do I watch HDMI through the Surface Go to my HDMI TV?

A: It does not have an HDMI port directly but does have a USB C port. There are USBC to HDMI adapters that I expect will work though I have not tested it yet. I will update my answer if I am able to try it out.

Q: Am I able to connect this device to mobile internet service (not wi-fi) such as from Verizon?

A: The Surface Go does not come equipped with LTE ability. If this is a feature you wish to be able to utilize, the Surface Pro with LTE capabilities might be a good machine for you to check out that is very similar to the Surface Go.

A: Yes, you could use torrent client software without any problem.

Q: Does the Microsoft Surface Go have any options for external storage? Like an sd card slot?

A: Absolutely. 1. There's a micro sd slot built into the device. I have a 128GB card in mine and it works flawlessly. 2. You could always connect an external drive through the usb type c port as well.
