Microsoft Surface Go 2 - 10.5" Touch-Screen - Intel Pentium - 4GB Memory - 64GB - Wifi - Platinum

I use this tablet daily - mainly for entertainment and internet browsing. It is easy to travel with and store. My only issue to date has been with the touch screen when using the keyboard. It does not always pick up the intended verbiage.

MS Surface Go's are reasonably priced and as full featured as a laptop. This one came with Window's 10 and upgraded during the update process to Window's 11. I thing the W11 runs a tad slower, I have an older Surface Go that cant be updated yet and it seems slightly faster, not a big deal however. I am not a big fan of android tablets since pretty much anything you do on them is tracked a dozen different ways. On the other hand, a Windows device I have some control of and can add VPN's, anti-tracking items and then configure the browsers more effectively. I recommend the Surface Go.

Coming from using apple products from day one. I couldn’t be more impressed this this device so far. I haven’t ran into any issues currently. I obviously wouldn’t recommend it to people that want to use it for super high performance tasks or use it for a long time doing them as the battery life is on the low end. But all in all I would recommend it to anyone that needs a device like this for casual tasks.

So I primarily wanted this for my photography. Something I could show my photos on to my clients without having to take around a big laptop. This this the trick and more!! First the build quality is very nice. It has a metal cast matte feel to it. Feels very sturdy yet so light weight. The screen is nice and bright and is very clear. This just feels like quality. A lot of reviewers want you to stray from buying the entry level model because it's "super slow and sluggish and not worth the money" but that couldn't be further from the truth. The fact is, this little machine can multitask very well. I even had a long list of updates to the apps that are already installed and it updated each in minutes and updated maybe 3 or 4 at a time. Done super fast. The browser is smooth and works just fine. It does have a very minor stutter when you load the web page but nothing to get into a fit over. I even tried playing YouTube videos and they work just fine. I pushed it to do 4K and it played very smooth with no stutter or lag. Your internet connection will play a factor but if you've got that good connection then you should have no problem at all. I also have my phone connected to windows and it works great. I can keep focus on my work without having to look at my phone when I can just reply on the tablet itself with no issues. The only downside is, unless you really don't mind using it just as a tablet, I highly recommend getting a mouse and keyboard for it. At the very least a keyboard with track pad. Its very bad choice that Microsoft chose to leave these necessities out of the package. I highly recommend looking at less expensive alternatives to the Microsoft type cover and mouse. I have a $12 Bluetooth mouse and $30 keyboard that works just as well as the type cover. Both these devices have great connections and response times. These 2 devices are key for using this 2 in 1 to its potential. Specially if you're working from home or have some work to do. All in all, this is a great 2 in 1 for the price. At $399 I highly recommend this for anyone looking to do some simple work from home such as video calls, Office projects, or even watch movies and videos or just check social media and have something to take on the go. Works like a charm. Fun side story, when I first got this, I was setting up the tablet. My 1 year old was getting curious and playing with all the accessories that I got. I put the tablet down and was moving the stuff. She grabbed my phone and threw it towards the tablet. The corner of my phone smashed into the screen. Not even an hour of owning it and its getting stuff thrown into it. Tablet was fine, glass screen protector never cracked, and phone was ok. Talk about build quality. Lol

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Veeeeeery bad! I spent a lot of money on this, but it's very slow. After 1 month of use, it was like stucking a lot of times, even when I wasn't using any heavy app. I bought a Samsung one and as a comparison, it was pretty cheaper and is much better than this Microsoft one. I couldn't return it because I don't live in US, but I totally expected more from a Microsoft product.

Good Ram, basically a 2k display the screen size is good at 10.5, like an IPad. Love the fact you can add more storage using sd card just popped a 516 gb. Windows 10 pro (on my tablet at least) and after a few updates got the windows 11 update. Look it’s a tablet with a desktop experience. With a usb c hub you can add monitors etc. Remote play it’s crazy. Speakers not so good but not a deal breaker to me since I got very good headphones and Bluetooth speakers. What else? The touchscreen is really good and you can get very good accessories that won’t leave you bankrupt like stylus and folding keyboard. Hope this helps.

Very good quality materials, I recommend it.

Have a 7 year old Surface pro which still works well but going to Europe for a month and a little nervous about taking the old one.........so took the plunge and got a new one.......so light and portable...Love the touch screen....keyboard is backlit!!! And the Amazon price was more than fair...... Very happy. NOTE: not happy with how Microsoft wants so take over my computer and run my life. What a struggle to put in my chrome but a friend helped win the fight. Just saying...
