Great Upgrade from the Original

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I got this as an upgrade to the original Surface Go base model which was a major disappointment. This is a serious upgrade. The smaller bezels and better processor make this my go to mobile device. It’s very capable. LTE is really awesome on this device. It’s my new favorite surface.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Portable, SizeIt's a special version of the Surface Go 2. It fills a space that other computers don't. It is very portable, screen size better than the previous one and fast. Although the speed of the Go or Go2 with Pentium is very good, this Go2 core M feels speed similar to that of a Surface Pro, but more portable (even more than the Pro, being that the Pro is quite light) and the plus of the LTE. LTE connects instantly and is stable. I had previously bought the Surface Pro X but for portability and Windows compatibility the SGO2 LTE is definitely the best option.

Excellent portable laptop!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:PortableAs much as I love my 15” MacBook Pro, it’s really not suitable to use on anything but a table or desk. I purchased this for those occasions when I’d love to lounge on the couch or in bed and get work done, or at the park on a nice day using the LTE feature. While it’s not a powerhouse, it’s quick and snappy when it comes to loading the Office suite or websites. Having the full Windows 10 experience on such a portable device is definitely a game changer, but you absolutely must get the keyboard if you’re using it for productivity. As for the pen, I use my Surface frequently with a browser window playing a lecture and a OneNote window right next to it to jot down notes with the pen. Works like a charm! Only negative is the speakers. While the sound is clear, they don’t get very loud. Get a nice pair of wireless headphones if you don’t already have one. If you happen to have AirPods, they’ll pair up and work perfectly. The LTE capabilities work as expected. The signal strength and speeds are on par with my phone’s performance. I am on Verizon though, so your mileage may vary.

Perfect size for me - wish there were more options
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:SizeThis is an ultraportable / tablet. I have a main computer that I use along side this, but this is great as a travel device. I find there are things I can't do on an iPad and this fills that space. I do wish MS would spend more time on making the tablet interface better in Windows 10, but again it is a fully functioning PC so this is great. Also, I had the original go, and the Core M processor is a major upgrade from that. Too bad Best Buy doesn't offer the non-LTE model. It is cheaper and I don't need the LTE feature.

Q: QuestionSo looking this over, is it true that best buy is not offering the Intel Core M3 wifi only? If so, this is ridiculous, it will probably be the most popular version of this device sold and there's no offer of it.
Asked by Rossy.
- A:Answer Agree 100% - when I saw they weren't offering the one model the people are really going to want, I ordered it from Microsoft with free shipping and will be on my doorstep on the 12th. Good luck and I hope Best Buy reconsiders!
