Everyone is doing this. You can tell that its a bad deal, the reviwers are just too scared to tell the truth because they make alot of money off these people
I love how everyone wants to compare the I pad pro to this but in reality it is like go for the go because literally it can replace your laptop and you iPad with the help of a phone
Listen, now I don't what you've been going through and, to me it certainly sounds like negativity, but I do know this...yes. Your existence IS worth it. Never let what you're going through push you down, or make you feel like you're pointless. Don't even let it to make you self-doubt yourself. So, yes...your existence and being in this world IS worth it.
Processor seems a bit weak, but other than that it seems like a pretty ideal "I do my power stuff on the desktop but need an on-the-go machine" type of thing.
Isnt is just additional 4GB ram and faster storage? No real performance advantage. Hopefully well will see a new surface go 2 running sunny cove this autumn.
The standard version of the Surface Go converts to Windows 10 Home. If you want Pro, you have to pay for the upgrade from Home to Pro. There is a business and education version of the Surface Go that has Windows 10 Pro from the factory, including - on the one I have - Bitlocker enabled in the factory.
+TechOut Indeed, Bitlocker is standard on any machine running Windows 10 Pro, Pro for Workstations or Enterprise. My point was that Bitlocker was enabled out of the box on the business Surface Go; the recovery key appeared in my Microsoft account automatically when I used my Microsoft account during the Surface Go's Out of the Box Experience without me taking any deliberate steps to save it there. I subsequently saved the recovery key to "Cloud Storage" (Azure Active Directory) as is normal practice here once I'd joined the device to Azure AD.
If you're not looking for gaming speed and want to run a few window programs, this works great. I have the iPad Pro and got tired of taking out my laptop to run a few Windows programs than going back to my Ipad Pro for everything else. This really does cover just about everything I need on one device. Surface Go was on sale and included a keyboard. I added a 256GB MicroSD for less than 50.00. I like this better than the Surface Pro 6 which I felt was just a little too big and heavy.
@@1Phire okay Imma rephrase it. The game doesnt run in a consistent 60fps even 30fps in a surface go, I also downloaded optifine but that didnt help. 60fps below for me is unplayable that is why I said it wont run because I thought that this person would prefer 60fps or more. That is why I recommend the bedrock edition plus that shit is free if you have the java edition. What's the specs of that $70 pc?
For casual use like browsing the web or watching videos, sure, it will do just fine. But for getting real shit done you rather as well just fork up more money for the higher end version.
Anthony Turner the higher end is alittle bit faster than the go the gpu of this thing is almost identical to surface pro 4 the pro 4 is just alittle bit faster
I did have the 2017 iPad and then returned it for the 10.5 iPad Pro, I only use it for RUclips,twitch and some web browsing but it’s a really solid product. It’s not cheap but with the use I get out of it I have no regrets buying it.
128 with keyboard bundle for $450 at Costco. Another $40 more a Microsoft mobile mouse with a surface go sleeve. Another $20 for a 128 micro sd and setup complete. $510 for total package
As it currently stands, I could see myself using this for college to take notes and write papers, but that’s about it, and I already have an iPad and a laptop that can do that. If there was a good app selection in the Windows Store where I could use it as a tablet and a computer, that would be the selling point for me. Then, I would only have to carry around one device.
I would take the Surface Go in a productivity match with the iPad any day. It may not have all of the bells and whistles, but the Surface line has been known as a direct replacement series for the professional on the go. iPads are great for fun apps and even work well in e-commerce as a replacement for a register, but the Surface would have more immediate availability for productivity suites. Great job Austin on covering this product. CNET tried to cover it, but it was laughable at best.
Something I might consider, when my old laptop finally dies. All I'd need is something to web browse, watch video & listen to music when I'm not at home.
The Surface Go is a great little device for the price. It's completely usable as the only computing device for a student or casual browser usage. I use mine a lot more than I use my iPad.
Just ordered one of these for personal use! Can't wait to see how it performs. Own a MacBook Pro, however, it's nice to have something light to take on the road or in meetings. Love the iPad, but just find i get stuck with it, either with Photoshop files, or simple things like wanting to save a print as a PDF. (whIch i know there are some apps, but you cannot print to PDF from the print dialogue box which is annoying.) The Surface Go seems like it could be a perfect all rounder, low cost, perfect size for tablet use and able to do a bit of Photoshop etc if needed.
Nathan Bullock hey yes it’s been working really well and actually much faster since a couple of updates! Multitasking works great with no problems (I have the 8gb model) It can do almost everything apart from video editing and heavy gaming but for everything else, even 4K playback is fine! Honestly for the money I think it’s pretty great!
Editors Keys I agree, love the fact I have both now. Where iPad lacks I can grab the Surface Go. They both weigh so little together my backpack is not stopping my circulation. These two devices shouldn’t be compared, as they are both 2 completely different devices.
12 inch MacBook is way way more powerful, it can still edit 4K videos decently well You wouldn’t want to even attempt that on any surface pro or surface go device and the surface devices are the ones to cost much more
Keep in mind that the Surface Go in this video is the lowest tier model with the worst specs. The reason the 12" MacBook can edit 4K video (I'll be it, not very well) is due to Final Cut Pro X being so optimized for it. So in my opinion this is a competitor to the 12" MacBook as it is mostly cheaper and is made for the same tasks.
I think that it is so cute when you call a computer "this guy" !!! I would love to buy all the computers in the world but there is no need for that. It looks cool and the webcam seems to kill any MacBook webcam. I decided to give a try to a Chromebook. I work in education. I picked up the Acer R 13. So far I'm very impressed. I only do basic stuff on my computer anyways. Great videos Austin. Keep your good work! Awesome studio too. I really like the symmetry of the decor behind you.
chanhien personally I don’t get why Microsoft is pushing windows tablets so much. If I’m doing something that needs windows I’m gonna need a good keyboard too. I think they need to make a good budget laptop instead of continuing to make these tablets
There're more than enough budget laptops out there, aren't they? The Surface Go is meant to be very portable, much like a mobile but runs on Windows 10. And as the owner of a SP4, the keyboard is splendid, the total weight is so light that my back doesn't get fucked over like my college friends' did. If you don't want portability, don't buy it, get a laptop instead.
I’m thinking of maybe getting it. I got the iPad Pro shown in the video for Christmas, but I also love playing games like Minecraft and the sims 4 on my parents laptop. I’m tired of having to lug their huge 17.3 inch laptop upstairs to my room whenever I want to play a game for a little while.
Great video Austin! Please consider making a comparison between the surface go and the galaxy tab s4 (although they are 2 different platforms but i think they are competing in the same race)
Am so surprised so many Tech RUclipsrs are comparing the Surface Go with keypad to an iPad, when they should be comparing it to the MacBook. Form factor aside the Surface Go is running full Windows 10. Why aren't they stressing on that, it's glorious for such a small device to run legacy Windows apps without any emulation.
I would love to see this thing get an i5 added. Even though Windows is not my favorite operating system, I love the device options and they've pulled me back. I've ditched my Macbook Pro and will be going with a Thinkpad for my main machine and maybe the Surface Go for my travel/out and about device.
The thing with computers is, it's simple, it's either a laptop for casual usage (word, excel, web browsing) or a productivity laptop (word, excel (specifically beefier tasks) photoshop, rendering etc) I would say that the XPS laptops are 3x better and therefore worth 3x the price.
The iPad will never replace a full computer. But this with some upgraded specs may well do that. The important question is: if you spend the price of an iPad Pro on upgrading this surface, hat kind of spect will you get?
I have surface go 128 GB ssd and 8 Gb it’s super Amazing I play pes2019 and wwe2k18 and many games i run all the app it’s handle and super amazing I loved and you can charge from external battery easy it’s best surface
I have it and it’s a great 2 in 1 I can even play less demanding games like skyrim, sleeping dogs and just cause 2 comfortably. I did an unboxing if you’re interested the full reviews gonna be coming out later this week!
If you were gonna use it as a serious laptop replacement, especially with the higher end model at ~$550, and the keyboard at $100, you could buy a Acer nitro 5 at Best buy right now on sale for $600. It's more worth it as an iPad replacement in my opinion with the cheaper model
I am using the base model and i am happy with it ...it is laggy sometimes but it is the best laptop to put in your backpack and carry it with u all day
This is only for really budget oriented people without a laptop. It's a downgrade from all modern windows laptops that a lot of people already have and it isn't a great tablet compared to the new budget iPad. Also it's 500 minimum, the keyboard is very important and isn't included and the base 400 model is very slow according to most reviewers, nowhere near iPad speeds. Tbh this is more of a meh product.
Surface Go isn't aimed at those who are looking for a full laptop - if you want a full laptop, you can easily get a full laptop for the same money. My main laptop is a maximum specification (except for storage) HP ZBook Studio x360 G5 - an amazing 15" laptop, but it's towards the heavier end, also it doesn't have the best battery life. The ZBook is optimised for performance, not mobility. Another user here has a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga; her machine is Gen 1, so two generations back from the current X1 Yoga, but it's still an amazing machine. We needed a machine to share in a tablet form factor that could act as a wireless display to our existing Windows 10 computers, also it will allow us to run the full versions of key programs. The 8GB business version of Surface Go (Windows 10 Pro out of the box) has turned out to be the perfect secondary machine for us to share. It's more suited to our needs that a Chrome OS, Android or iOS device in a 10 inch form factor.
David Wood Exactly! Those of us who travel for work, manage a team, and have real productivity needs in the go are a portion of the market for the device.
Your comment about the storage speed of the 128GB SSD is a little off. It's actually one of the fastest SSDs ever installed inside a Surface device. Some benchmarks are clocking it at 1.2GB of read, and 500MB of write speed.
Yea but no kids actually use laptops for School... Almost 75% kids just buy those for gaming. I think there just want to play FORTNITE in school everyday. Yea I see that it is kinda worth it but I’m not a school nerd with laptop guy or super good laptop for that price guy...
Using a full desktop operating system such as windows 10 really does make a difference. Of course there are other factors but I think the Surface Go is definitely the better buy over the IPad especially if you want a full computer.
It Makes way more Sense to buy the Surface Book Go Because with an iPad you're restricted to only iPhone and iPad apps when with the Surface Book Go your able to download any piece of software made for PC's Like Fortnite or Roblox. I just think it makes way more sense to buy the Surface instead of the iPad.
Austin Evans adding specs of screen brightness and sRGB/AdobeRGB colorspace in his reviews? Ayyyy, appreciate the addition. Keep this for any laptop review going forward!

exactly.
But there is a big difference between 10 inches and 12 inches. Not to mention the storage screen, resolution and speakers.
12 inch MacBook is way way more powerful, it can still edit 4K videos decently well
You wouldn’t want to even attempt that on any surface pro or surface go device and the surface devices are the ones to cost much more
Bryan Miller totally but I wouldn't call it powerful it's just optimized.
Keep in mind that the Surface Go in this video is the lowest tier model with the worst specs.

A Pentium and no keyboard at $400. Doesn't seem like a good competitor to normal laptops.
It was not meant to replace a normal laptop. Why would Microsoft make a lightweight tablet that runs Windows 10? Hint : Portability.
chanhien personally I don’t get why Microsoft is pushing windows tablets so much. If I’m doing something that needs windows I’m gonna need a good keyboard too. I think they need to make a good budget laptop instead of continuing to make these tablets

I have surface go 128 GB ssd and 8 Gb it’s super Amazing I play pes2019 and wwe2k18 and many games i run all the app it’s handle and super amazing I loved and you can charge from external battery easy it’s best surface
How do you like surface go in 2020? Would it be good for games like wizard101, drawing, stream video?
Ultimate tablet laptop battle:
Surface Go v Ipad Pro v Pixel Slate v Galaxy Tab S4 v Spectrofolio

T Blue- Surface go vs core i9 pc with rtx 2080 gpu
The processor and graphics chip are just too bad to make it worth it. That thing should be no more than $350.
$350 including the keyboard.
dustojnik hummer ikr and a full desktop os
I have it and it’s a great 2 in 1 I can even play less demanding games like skyrim, sleeping dogs and just cause 2 comfortably. I did an unboxing if you’re interested the full reviews gonna be coming out later this week!
If you were gonna use it as a serious laptop replacement, especially with the higher end model at ~$550, and the keyboard at $100, you could buy a Acer nitro 5 at Best buy right now on sale for $600. It's more worth it as an iPad replacement in my opinion with the cheaper model
I really want a surface, but it is too expensive
Josue not this one this is the cheapest thing you can get to a branded windows tablet
compare to other windows tablet this is cheap but i know the price is not really cheap
apdroid geek its 700$ Dude. 550 plus keyboard plus tax goes beyond 700$. This aint cheap, they just market it as 400$ to trick their consumers
Lunati q you can still get the 400 dollar version. And it is mostly marketed for students where you can get a campus discount.
Janno_O but most windows app is still not for touch, and you didn't get pen either, at least you still need mouse and keyboard to operate it.
Finally austin put a color gamut and brightness result
Looking for best tablet with stylus around 450$ for student , can you recommend something?
Adi Gal ipad 2018
jonathan lopez is right. Apple pencil is the best stylus out right now.
Tablets suck tho
Derp Derp it is good for school
Derp Derp tablets dont suck for art though
I am using the base model and i am happy with it ...it is laggy sometimes but it is the best laptop to put in your backpack and carry it with u all day
So it’s $780 then?
I usually don't worry about the built in speakers.
Normally I use a headphones, blutooth or 1/8th jack, so it's not much of an issue.
That veins tho! 💪
Jose Mozo I know 😂
I see Austin hitting the gym lately !
This is only for really budget oriented people without a laptop. It's a downgrade from all modern windows laptops that a lot of people already have and it isn't a great tablet compared to the new budget iPad. Also it's 500 minimum, the keyboard is very important and isn't included and the base 400 model is very slow according to most reviewers, nowhere near iPad speeds. Tbh this is more of a meh product.
Sully Chowder it's not really meh tho... 😂
You can easily find a i7 laptop with 8GB of ram on ebay for less than this tablet lol
Surface Go isn't aimed at those who are looking for a full laptop - if you want a full laptop, you can easily get a full laptop for the same money.
My main laptop is a maximum specification (except for storage) HP ZBook Studio x360 G5 - an amazing 15" laptop, but it's towards the heavier end, also it doesn't have the best battery life. The ZBook is optimised for performance, not mobility. Another user here has a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga; her machine is Gen 1, so two generations back from the current X1 Yoga, but it's still an amazing machine.
We needed a machine to share in a tablet form factor that could act as a wireless display to our existing Windows 10 computers, also it will allow us to run the full versions of key programs. The 8GB business version of Surface Go (Windows 10 Pro out of the box) has turned out to be the perfect secondary machine for us to share. It's more suited to our needs that a Chrome OS, Android or iOS device in a 10 inch form factor.
David Wood Exactly! Those of us who travel for work, manage a team, and have real productivity needs in the go are a portion of the market for the device.
Your comment about the storage speed of the 128GB SSD is a little off. It's actually one of the fastest SSDs ever installed inside a Surface device. Some benchmarks are clocking it at 1.2GB of read, and 500MB of write speed.
I really don’t think it is worth it
Same. I'd rather just put more money into the higher end model for actual work being done and logevity.
Yea but no kids actually use laptops for School... Almost 75% kids just buy those for gaming. I think there just want to play FORTNITE in school everyday. Yea I see that it is kinda worth it but I’m not a school nerd with laptop guy or super good laptop for that price guy...
And also there is a lot of better laptops that are cheaper and better. I wouldn’t say this laptop is worth it.
in college they wont provide you a laptop
Oof His
This is just my opinion.
Using a full desktop operating system such as windows 10 really does make a difference. Of course there are other factors but I think the Surface Go is definitely the better buy over the IPad especially if you want a full computer.
Unbox Samsung Galaxy tab S4
It Makes way more Sense to buy the Surface Book Go Because with an iPad you're restricted to only iPhone and iPad apps when with the Surface Book Go your able to download any piece of software made for PC's Like Fortnite or Roblox. I just think it makes way more sense to buy the Surface instead of the iPad.
Austin Evans adding specs of screen brightness and sRGB/AdobeRGB colorspace in his reviews? Ayyyy, appreciate the addition. Keep this for any laptop review going forward!
