Microsoft's Surface Go is not the tablet that can replace your tablet Jul 10, 2018 16:06 EDT · Hot! with 73 comments This morning, Microsoft announced the Surface Go, the firm’s newest take on a cheaper Surface built primarily as a tablet. The Surface Go is a $399 device equipped with a 10-inch HD screen, the Surface’s traditional 3:2 ratio screen, a base storage of 64GB and an Intel Pentium Gold processor at its weakest. The Surface RT, 2, 3 and now the Surface Go are all Microsoft's attempts at cracking the Surface tablet problem, at selling the Surface as something that can be a tablet first and foremost and not simply a hybrid device. The firm is capable of getting users to purchase Surface Laptops and Surface Pros all day long. These are Windows laptops at their core, they are a known quantity. They do laptop things, and sometimes, they do tablet things. But when it comes to small tablets, it becomes a different question.
