Considering that the iPad Air and Mini seem to have this end of the market on lock, I’d still say investigate those over the Surface Go. MS Surface Go 3 i3 8/128GB W10P Silver (8VD-00033) Display size: 26.7 cm (10.5) Processor model: Intel Core i3-10100Y, 1.3 GHz RAM: 8 GB Wireless. ![]() While the 2021 Surface Go 3 features the 5W 10th Generation Intel Amber Lake Y dual-core Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y up to dual-core Intel Core i3-10100Y with the boost speed up to 3.90 GHz. It also does have a 3:2, 1920×1280 screen embedded in, but if I’m honest, the Surface Go 2 and Go before it was highly disappointing devices that just failed to provide a solid low-end machine with a still fairly high cost. Designed to light up the best of Windows 11, Surface Go 3 is optimized for digital pen and touch, with a faster Intel Core processor and tablet-to-laptop. The 2018 Surface Go features the 6W 7th Generation Intel Kaby Lake dual-core Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y with a clock speed of 1.60 GHz. On top of this, there are 4 or 8GB of RAM options, with storage able to be expanded via the MicroSD card slot. ![]() There are also three storage options, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB, with the 64GB storage only being eMMC, so significantly slower than the SSD counterparts. I wouldn’t expect to run any games on the thing, but with it being 10th Generation CPUs instead of the more recent 11th Gen, it seems like it won’t benefit from the EVO line’s battery life. The Surface Go 3 features an Intel Core i3-10100Y or Pentium Gold 6500Y, putting it on the weaker end of the processor line (seriously, Pentium GOLD?!), but considering this is aimed at the super low-end consumer base, it should just be fine for browsing and light office work. Here is the Surface Go 3 configuration sent to TechRadar for review: CPU: 1.3GHz Intel Core i3-10100Y (dual-core, 8MB Intel Smart Cache, up to 3.9GHz with Turbo Boost) Graphics: Intel UHD. Leaked earlier in the week, the Surface Go 3 seems to have matched up with the specifications from Thailand’s electronics retailer, Shopee, as well as corroborating the leaks from before as well.
