It’s a bit hard to believe that the Surface Go is actually the ninth Surface tablet, with three Surface and Surface Pro predecessors, respectively, plus the Surface RT and a “reimagined” Surface Pro (2017). The Go retains many familiar elements: the power and volume rocker on the top, the microSD slot under the kickstand, and the MagSafe-like Surface Connector on the right side. What normally would be a USB-A slot on the side of a Surface has been replaced by a USB-C connector. Microsoft’s hardware gurus crafted the Surface Go out of the same magnesium compound of previous iterations, with Gorilla Glass 3 protecting the 10-inch PixelSense display. While the Go doesn’t offer the various display color options of the Surface Pro (2017) or Surface Book, the 1800 x 1200 (3:2) display is consistent with other Surface aspect ratios and pumps out a surprisingly bright 397 nits of light.
