It was given to me brand new as a Christmas gift several years ago, and at first I thought that I would have little use for it due to the Windows 10 mode S limitation of only being able to install software from the windows store. Read full reviewįantastic jack-of-all-trades mobile computer I'm very pleased with it and would recommend. To sum, I think that the Surface Go is good value for money. That is a deal breaker for me and many others but fortunately there is an easy, painless way to convert to full Windows 10 professional which involves just following some simple instructions from Microsoft. This is a limited version of Windows 10 which only lets you install software from the Microsoft store. Out of the box, the operating system is Windows 10s. Also, it can handle more electrical current which means that externally powered USB hubs are no longer needed in most cases. The USB-C was a great choice by Microsoft for this tablet because it is small and more mechanically rugged than a standard USB port. My devices are all standard USB and so would not connect but a simple and inexpensive adapter fixed the issue. But the cool thing is that you don't really need the optional surface go keyboard because this computer also has Bluetooth and so will connect to most all Bluetooth keyboards and other devices so you have a wide range of options.įor connectivity there is a USB-C port. Backlighting is a bonus for use in dim areas. I find the keyboard to be very nice with good tactile feedback, and the keys are well placed. Mine was a bundle and came with the optional keyboard cover. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass which is very tough and is scratch resistant. Build quality is excellent - the metal alloy case is rugged, smooth, and has a solid feel. The size is just right - fits nicely into my bicycle bag and goes everywhere with me. I use it for everything from online business to programming. The Surface Go is a great little computer.
