Pleased with purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up. No real learning curve to deal with. Was fairly intuitive. I bought this as a lightweight travel computer to take on projects; I am very pleased. It is much lighter than my previous and has sufficient power and storage to deal with my stuff. I bought the keyboard/cover separately and am pleased that the two items function well together without any aggravation.

3rd gen but feels like a 1st gen.....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes that this small, agile device would continue the great combination of productivity, form factor, and security that is ear marked by Surface Go product line. Although Windows 11 looks great on it, the experience is not faster, nor do key programs work efficiently together (Outlook, Powerpoint, Teams, and any of the streaming music services). The black design is great except build quality is poor - visible dents on the back of the product and the kickstand make creaking-clicking sounds when it is opened. Even with a BestBuy sale and discounts on the pen and type cover, for about $700, I feel overspent for an under performing experience. Missed my expectations for a 3rd generation product.

Excellent for web surfing and streaming content
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The surface go 3 is great for consuming web content and watching videos/streaming content. It's small form factor is a plus when it comes to portability. Screen is fine, plenty bright and good color. The speakers are good for a tablet. The tablet comes with Windows on S mode, which means you can only use apps from the Microsoft store. You can however change this in the settings and turn this mode off, this giving you access to any program a PC can run. That being said, this is not a desktop replacement. It will not handle demanding/intensive tasks, though it was not built for that. You would need to start looking at the beefier options above this range. There is a 64GB/4GB option available. I have used this more striped down version and can't recommend it. Windows alone eats up close to half the 64GB'S of storage. Plus 4GB of RAM is painfully too small. I believe this model only exists so MS could hit a target price point, but honestly it shouldn't exist. It is slow, laggy, and an overall bad experience. Modern Windows was never meant to run on 8GB of RAM or less. Do yourself a favor, if you want the surface go 3, get the 128/8 model, you'll be glad you did.

Spend the extra money for the faster processor
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried the base processor and faster processor they are both great, however for a multitasker just spend the extra hundred dollars for the faster processor. It allowed me to have multiple windows open. Have applications run in the back ground and I even downgraded the system to windows 10 and it showed the same results. As for the lower end processor it very sluggish with 2 or more windows and applications have to wait till the cpu catches up which takes a supple minutes.

Does the job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is slow because it's an I3, but I wanted a computer with a 10.5 screen and is lightweight. This computer has both things I wanted.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhich cover works with this model? Is it still possible to switch out of S-mode and how?
Asked by BJTex.
- A:Answer The Go series covers have not changed, so any of the Go covers work. Not the Surface Pro, or ProX ones. Yes you can switch out of S mode. It's under Settings, About. Upgrade to Home. It's free.
Answered by SvenJ
Q: QuestionCan the surface go 3 handle games on platforms like Steam and Roblox?
Asked by switchingfromanipad.
- A:Answer Hello there. Yes! Based on Roblox requirements, this game needs a device with at least 1GB RAM and a 1.6 GHz processor, so this computer should (4GB of RAM and an Intel® Core™ i3-10100Y processor that reaches up to 3.90 GHz frequency) should run the software. Thank you for choosing Intel.
