icrosoft touts its 10.5-inch
Surface Go 3 tablet as its
most mobile Surface. While
that’s definitely true, what
else does the new Surface Go 3 have to offer?
A small processor bump, Windows 11,
and—well, that’s about it.
The Surface Go 3 is essentially the same
device as the Surface Go 2. We don’t
consider Windows 11 to be necessarily worth

the upgrade (fave.co/3cdEtj3), which robs
the Surface Go 3 of its appeal. As for the
processor upgrade—yes, there’s now a
10th-gen Core i3 option, but it doesn’t really
move the needle performance-wise.

BASIC FEATURES AND
CONFIGURATIONS
Microsoft’s Surface Go 3 is available in three
configurations, ranging from $399.99 on up

for Microsoft’s uniquely

If you’re in the market for Microsoft’s Surface Go 3, consider the Surface Go 2, too.
