Microsoft Surface Go 3 Review | Trusted Reviews

 

The Surface Go 3 is the latest entry in Microsoft's tabler range, featuring a more powerful CPU while also having Windows 11 pre-installed.

Boosted performance ; Windows 11 improves the tablet experience ; Great design, with built-in stand

Minor improvements compared to Surface Go 2 ; Poor battery life ; Type Cover costs extra ; iPad is faster and has a better screen

The Surface Go 3 has seen minor improvements since its predecessor, with a CPU upgrade and Windows 11 improving the tablet experience. But there’s little here to make it more tempting than Apple’s iPad, especially once you factor in the poor battery...

Microsoft Surface Go 3 review: a tablet for portable productivity

 

The Microsoft Surface Go 3 is a tiny tablet that you can use as a computer

10.6-inch FHD+ screen ; Weighs less than 550g ; Decent speakers built-in

Underwhelming performance ; Short battery life ; Grainy rear camera

The Microsoft Surface Go 3 is a tablet that you can use as a computer as well if you buy the snap-on keyboard to go with it. It won't blow you away with fast speeds or a long-lasting battery but it will be perfect for casual work on the go.

Microsoft Surface Go 3 review

 

Microsoft's budget nightmare

Excellent webcam ; Lightweight and easy to carry ; No bloatware

Super short battery life ; Appalling performance ; Type Cover not included ; Thick bezels

The Surface Go 3 might be the most affordable Surface product, but the low power, short battery life and thick bezels expose why it’s so cheap. It does have the best webcam at this price, which means it’s a great choice for anyone that has a lot of...

Microsoft Surface Go 3 review: Go figure

 

The third device in the most portable Surface product tweaks the processor options available, but not much else. Does it make sense to consider?

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)

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...

Microsoft Surface Go 3 review

 

Mastering the basics but in need of some serious power

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 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.

Microsoft Surface Go 3 review

 

The Surface Go 3 is a fun device that's impressively versatile, but it feels like an expensive add-on to your laptop rather than a replacement.

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

Poor battery life ; Dated design ; Can be expensive

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 .

Microsoft Surface Go 3 review: Boldly going where we’ve already gone before | IT PRO

 

Microsoft's latest budget 2-in-1 fails to stand out against the wider Surface range

Fantastic camera ; Lightweight, slimline design ; Windows 11 comes preinstalled

Appalling battery life ; Lacklustre performance ; Frustrating keyboard

Goondu review: Microsoft Surface Go 3 looks decent but doesn't perform up to speed - Techgoondu

 

The Surface Go 3 sports a touchscreen and detachable keyboard like the Surface Pro but it isn't fast enough for a full Windows 11 experience.

Microsoft Surface Go 3 review: Third time’s a charm

 

The Microsoft Surface Go 3 isn't very fast or long lasting, but it's built well and a surprisingly enjoyable experience.

“The affordable Microsoft Surface Go 3 isn't a performer, but it still finds way to delight.”

Surface Go 3 review: A lateral upgrade for Microsoft’s uniquely affordable tablet

 

Microsoft's Surface Go 3 10.5-inch tablet offers Windows 11 and a small increase in processor power over last year's model, but not much else.

Windows 11 ; A slight improvement in processing power

Windows 11 ; A slight improvement in processing power

The Microsoft Surface Go 3 is the Surface Go 2 of 2021, and that’s about all there is to say.
