So we were pleased with the Surface Go’s inclusion of these ports, and think they’re fairly important if you’re looking to spend less and deal with fewer of those dreaded “dongles.”
The ports on the Surface Go include one USB-C output, a charging port, and a port for the Surface Type Cover, as well as the most interesting additions: a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a MicroSDXC Card Reader slot, which both sit behind the hinge (we suspect Microsoft is taking design cues from the Nintendo Switch here).īoth of these ports have been scrapped by the competition-the iPad Pro has dropped the headphone jack entirely, and you have to compensate for the lack of card reader with a separate USB-C hub. The wonderful and sturdy kickstand on the back of the device also provided us with a multitude of viewing angles for different use cases, from basic browsing to drawing with a stylus. The device fit snugly into our backpacks, briefcases, and messenger bags without weighing us down. It also wouldn’t be too much of a problem to leave this device with a child.Īt a little over a pound, it’s far lighter than a laptop and would be easy to use on a daily commute. Yet, unlike the competition, we think this could actually survive a few clumsy bumps and drops. The 1800 x 1200 screen is surrounded by thick bezels, contributing to a very corporate and dated look to the device. The Surface Go is a bit chunkier than your average tablet and looks considerably less modern than many top-tier competitors in this category (understandable, given the lower price point).
