    I've enjoyed having my Surface Go. I was looking for a tablet style device, but not have to worry about whether or not it would work with the programs/apps that I use. The portability is what I was looking for.

    I purchased this Surface Go for myself a few months ago and I am really very happy with it. Small enough to carry anywhere but still able to create documents and spreadsheets for work or enjoy a movie online.

    I'm currently using this surface go for displaying sheet music while accompanying choir on piano. I also run ableton live 10 on it with a Steinberg UR22 mkII audio interface. It has been performing better than expected.

    Perfect small and compact tablet. Bought this for internet browsing and such. If you need a lot of power I would go with a normal surface otherwise this is a great option.

    This is a nice unit for what I'd call "recreational" use -- surfing the web, listening to music, checking social media. But I prefer a standard laptop when I'm working on a project or doing work.

    Basic - good for media consumption

    You may have hours of battery life with this unit, but don't expect it to have the power of its bigger brothers. I have a Surface Pro 7 , i5 and bought this (GO) for light duty stuff. You can enjoy media on this, but not much else. The ssd holds nothing. You must stream everything, and its basically cloud based. For a few hundred more, get the real thing. If media consumption is your thing, get a 10.2" iPad on sale for $249, far less than this unit.

    Going from a full size laptop to this tablet was a difficult transition but it is more convenient. The battery lasts decently long but has been getting shorter over time as I have had it about 5 months now.

    Very light and good for on the go working. If you do much more than browse the web though, spend more money on a more powerful product. For $399, this is great for pleasure and consumption.

    One of the better surface units for use on the run. Holds charge well. Not too great for spreadsheet type work. I felt the screen is a bit too small. Plenty of apps and great for watching movies etc on a flight.
