Bought this for work and it's perfect for my needs.

So far it is easy to use and does everything I want it to. Not sure about two things that are worth considering before purchase: S Mode is something I wasn't aware of and limits the types of apps that can be used - currently exploring this further. Second thing is whether I need security software for it. It says it comes with it but is that sufficient? The Microsoft Store does not have Eset Nod 32 which is my preferred anti-virus software and for which I have a license but can't use on this device in S Mode. You see the problem. Exploring this further at present. Otherwise, it's currently working out fine. I have had for two weeks now but...view more

enjoyiing this great tablet! perfect buy!!

The Microsoft Surface Go 3 is a fully-featured, Windows 11, 10.5" tablet that is perfect for for travel, students, and commuters.

Enough power for everyday tasks and content consumption, Expandable to dual 4K@60Hz screens, Fair price for Windows 11 tablet

No IP rating (few tablets have this)

A super-portable machine for getting bits and pieces done while on the go, but it's just not adept enough when it comes to power and battery life. That makes it difficult to see how this device represents the Surface name well, as even a decent Chromebook would be preferable.

Windows 11 so you're free to install apps and executables as you please, The webcam is genuinely decent, Kickstand design is great

Lacklustre performance and battery life, Type Cover keyboard not included, Chunky screen bezel looks dated, Only one USB-C (ditch the Surface Connect port already)

The Surface Go 3 looks nice, feels great and has a lot of potential as a mini tablet that offers a full Windows 11 PC experience. But it is hindered by slow chips with inconsistent, laggy performance and a poor battery life.

Pros: slim, light, good screen, great kickstand, decent speakers, USB-C, Windows Hello, full Windows 11 Home, microSD card reader, wifi 6, Bluetooth 5.

Cons: slow, inconsistent performance, short battery life, no USB-A ports, £100 keyboard essential but not included, Windows 11 not fully baked, comparatively expensive.

The Surface Go premise makes sense. It’s a tablet that can run any Windows app you like. But it arrives with already dated-looking performance thanks to Intel’s lack of major progress in battery-sipping processors.

A far better webcam than almost all laptops, High-quality, ultra-portable design, Can run full Windows 11

It’s begging for more power, Price gets less appealing when you consider the must-have keyboard

The Surface Go 3 has had a nice performance boost over its predecessor, but the meaningful upgrades end there. Compared to Microsoft’s premium 2-in-1s, there’s a lot you’re missing out on.

Premium build, Decent Core i3 performance, Great video calling experience

Poor battery life, Dated design, Can be expensive

The Surface Go 3 is the latest entry in Microsoft’s range of tablets, which can also be turned into a makeshift laptop when paired with the sold-separately Type Cover. It’s an appealing form factor for watching video and scrolling through social media, while also being handy for writing duties with...

Boosted performance, Windows 11 improves the tablet experience, Great design, with built-in stand, You want a Windows 11 tablet : Windows 11 is a nice step up on Windows 10 for tablets, with more touch-friendly icons making it far easier to navigate.

Minor improvements compared to Surface Go 2, Poor battery life, Type Cover costs extra, iPad is faster and has a better screen, You’re happy to go for an iPad or Chromebook : The biggest issue with the Surface Go 3 is that it doesn’t offer up an advantage over the iPad, despite Apple’s tablet seeing...

I was looking for a new laptop and was hesitant when I purchased the surface go even after seeing all the reviews online I am still blown away by this device and truely wish I had bought one previously.
