Microsoft - Surface Go 3 – 10.5” Touch-Screen – Intel Pentium Gold – 4GB Memor y- 64GB eMMC - Device Only (Latest Model) - Platinum

I absolutely love this product. No issues straight out of the box and the display is beautiful.

This $399 base model Surface Go 3 is MUCH faster than its predecessors, thanks to the new Pentium Gold processor in it this year, which processor some reviewers have compared to the Core m3 in the original Surface Go and in the Go 2. Rumor has it that new upgraded Core i3 in the top end Go 3 is a battery hog, but this might be fixed in future software updates to Windows 11 (my Pentium Gold version does fine with 80% brightness, streaming Netflix or Prime or YouTube). My entry level Chromebooks used to feel faster on the web than my first gen Surface Go. This new base model Surface Go 3 is now faster than them, plus it "does Windows". So far as I can tell, the 4gb of RAM and use of less-expensive eMMC storage in this base model doesn't hold the Go 3 back; however 64gb isn't much to work with. The Go 3 base model only has about 30gb free after you boot it up. I can work with that, but that comes from having to work with earlier entry level Windows laptops with only 32gb of total storage! If you choose either the 64gb or 128gb models, I highly recommend a subscription to the personal edition of Office 365, which comes with 1tb (one terrabyte) of Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage and automatically moves your content to the cloud, with a local storage option for files you need to work on inflight etc. Otherwise, at least get a Micro SD card and change your file storage location to the card after to install it. All the video streaming apps I use are in the Microsoft Store, except HBO Max. So they work without a hitch. HBO Max stutters for me unless I "intall" the web page I've opened it into as an "app", from within the Edge browser's drop down menu in the upper right hand corner. Just web search for "install web page as an app" and you should get some guidance. One I did this, HBO Max ran perfectly. YouTube is also much improved, in controls not quality, when "installed as an app", give it a try. I'm currently experimenting running my Go 3 in S mode, but every other time I've gotten a device in S mode I've quickly opted into regular Windows mode. I don't think S mode is really safer, or faster, but it DOES impose some "training wheels" that might keep a beginning Windows user out of trouble - and also tends to save space. I will probably rather quickly tire of S mode, but I want to give a real try, for once. We get 5gb of OneDrive storage for free, which is a ton of Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, but you will definitely want a Micro SD card installed if you download a lot of Prime or Netflix videos. Videos are a lot bigger than docs and spreadsheets! Finally, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in this price range from any other computer maker that is as well designed and carefully built as this Surface Go 3. This really rivals the iPad! Plus, it has that really handy built-in, free kickstand, which allows easy use of many more keyboard options than the OEM Type Cover and the third party "clones" like Inateck, chich snap-on like the Type Cover, but run on Bluetooth instead of through a direct electrical connection (POGO). If you think of this as the "only iPad that runs Windows" you might not be far from the truth.

Really good tablet but only for work use and school. It can play games but nothing heavy, if you are expecting to multitask on this like a surface pro you’ll be highly disappointed. It doesn’t lag to much but you’ll noticed a wait time for a split second when doing more than two or 3 tasks at a time.

Bought this about a month ago as a secondary computer and it's done well so far. My main computer is an ASUS ROG laptop, and as much as I love the performance it has, it's just not as easy to bring around as the surface go 3 is. I still do all of my gaming and big tasks like video editing and heavy browsing on my main computer, but the surface holds its own. It's not the greatest in terms of performance, but i can run Lightroom just fine with only a minimal amount of lag compared to my main setup. Google chrome can run a few tabs just fine and if you need to throw a couple of clips together using the built in video editor that will work too. I haven't tried, but i highly doubt you can do serious video editing on this considering the specifications. Exporting edited photos takes a bit longer but for something that i bring around with me on the go, it's perfect. Cameras are decent, nothing crazy. Screen is nice and responsive. Definitely recommend taking it out of windows "s" mode and buying the keyboard cover for it; it gives it a nice touch and it's very useful. I have not tried any gaming on it and i don't plan to since i have my other laptop. Definitely would recommend though to someone who doesn't do a lot of stuff or as a secondary, on the go solution.

This is my first Surface and I love it ! Have been using it for drawing and windows has some great apps like Leonardo and Medibang for my liking. Only drawback : No slot to hold the pen ( unlike the Samsung Galaxy tab A ) With a 4 GB ram, it cannot be used as a laptop but for a tablet, it works just ok.

Love the MS Surface go 3. Boot up quickly and is perfect for my needs.

The Best!! Holds a lot of storage for my school apps. Very easy to carry with me when I am on the go.

Great form factor and lightweight. The battery runtime is too short and does not last as long as advertised. even close with just basic web browsing. Not worth the money.
