While the Surface Go is a “sub-$400 tablet” in the absolute sense of the word, it’s not really when you consider the basically required accessories you need to get for it. Here’s the whole set:

Not a single commercial for a Surface will go by without them showing you that sweet kickstand at all sorts of crazy angles.

The touted advantages of a simpler, faster and smoother Chrome experience on inexpensive hardware not optimized for Windows may be exaggerated when Windows is "unfairly" assessed in a "side-by-

My biggest concern with the Surface Go so far has been it's overall performance. Things have sped up a little bit since I first got this, but it's still not a very zippy computer. To see how it stood up to something more my speed, I

OneDrive Now Syncs Your Desktop and Documents Folders
OneDrive just rolled out a feature called "Known Folder Move" which might be the worst possible name for the best possible service. This feature has OneDrive backup 3 of your most important folders: Desktop, Documents, and Pictures.

I love the Apple Pencil and was excited to use a Surface Pen, which gets a lot of love, with my new Surface Go. It’s not exactly what I was expecting, but that’s not to say it’s bad, it’s just…different.

Microsoft Surface Go Design Details
The design of the Surface Go is currently my favorite part of the device. It’s not quite as nice as the iPad Pro, but it’s certainly a compelling product by any other measure, especially when you consider this is a $399 tablet (plus $129 for the keyboard).
