This is a big upgrade from the Atom chip used in Microsoft's last attempt at a cheap tablet, the Surface 3, which scores around 1,100 and 2,800. The Surface Go's Pentium? Around 2,000 and 4,000, respectively.
In the Geekbench processor benchmark, the m3 in the Surface Pro scores around 3,100 points in the single threaded test and 6,000 in the multithreaded test. But it also has turbo boost all the way up to 2.6GHz and 4MB rather than 2MB of cache. In its normal configuration, it has a base clock speed of just 1GHz, rising to 1.6GHz in the 7W configuration. Microsoft has plans to introduce a version with integrated LTE and 256GB storage, but there's no price or availability for these just yet. The review systems all seem to have been the 8GB/128GB configuration this means that their storage, in particular, will be considerably quicker than the base 4GB/64GB version. An extra $50 upgrades to Windows 10 Pro, and an extra $150 upgrades to 8GB RAM and a 128GB NVMe SSD. The keys are about 85 percent of full-size, with about 1mm of travel compared to the 1.3mm on the Surface Pro.įor $399, you get 4GB RAM, 64GB of eMMC storage, and Windows 10 Home. As with other Surface tablets, Surface Go supports the Type Cover detachable keyboard covers, though because of its new, smaller size, it'll need new, smaller Type Covers. It retains the microSDXC card reader and 3.5mm headset jack and adds to this a USB 3.1 generation 1 Type-C port. Go keeps all the major Surface design elements: a variable-position kickstand, 8MP rear/5MP front cameras with Windows Hello facial recognition, the Surface Connect magnetic charging and dock port, and a 10-finger multitouch screen with Surface Pen support. A lot cheaper: the base model is just $399, compared to $799 for the base Surface Pro.
It has a smaller screen (10-inches, 1800×1200), a weaker processor (an Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y, which is a two-core, four-thread Kaby Lake chip that was launched about 18 months ago), slower and smaller storage (64GB, using an eMMC interface), and reduced battery life (estimated at 9 hours). Surface Go is a shrunk-down version of the Surface Pro, Microsoft's kickstand-equipped two-in-one tablet/laptop. Many publications around the Web have had a couple of days to review Microsoft's latest attempt at a cheap(ish) computer, and opinions are surprisingly varied. Surface Go- Microsoft's 10-inch, $399 tablet-launches today in 25 markets.
