Pros and cons

According to our laptop expert

You can use this Surface Go 3 as a laptop and tablet, thanks to the touchscreen and optional Type Cover.
With Windows 11 in S mode, you can install applications from the Microsoft Store, which gives you better protection from viruses.
Log in with facial recognition with the infrared camera and Windows Hello.
Multitasking is slow with an Intel Pentium processor, so make sure you choose a laptop with at least an i5 processor if you want more than internet browsing and text processing.
The 10.5-inch screen is suitable for everyday tasks, but a small screen is less suitable for photo editing or watching movies.

Description

Note: The type cover isn't included by default, so you need to purchase it separately.

You can use the Microsoft Surface Go 3 - 8GB - 128GB as a laptop and as a tablet for basic tasks like typing reports and browsing the internet. Thanks to 8GB RAM, you won't be bothered by crashes while working in multiple internet tabs or Word windows at the same time. Since it weighs just over half a kilogram, you can carry it in a bag and check your email or watch a Netflix series on the go. You can easily detach the Surface Type Cover (sold separately) to choose whether you want to use the Surface Go as a laptop or as a tablet. The useful stand on the back allows you to place it somewhere, so you can comfortably make notes with the optional Surface Pen. The battery lasts about 11 hours, which means you can easily take it with you all day without having to look for a socket.

Note: this laptop runs on Windows 11 in S Mode. Prefer the regular Windows 11? Turn off Windows in S mode via the Windows Store to use the full version of Windows 11.

Advice from our expert

Internet, email, and text processing: suitable
Watching movies and series: suitable
Photo editing: possible, but faster with an i5 or Ryzen 5 processor
Video editing: unsuitable, at least an i7 or Ryzen 7 processor
Gaming: unsuitable, at least a GTX 1050 video card

Review is 9,2 out of 10.

Excellent tablet with full windows 11

Very good touchscreen
Still faster than the Go 2, even with Win11
Finally managed to get S-mode turned off
Note: Turning off S-mode gave an error, after 3 hours of struggling solution found: first set your region: United States and language English United States, then via settings, Info (at the very bottom of System), ...

Very handy tablet with full Windows so that all Windows software just runs on it (once you get S mode turned off), I'm a fan of the touchscreen

Ideal to take with you everywhere

Very compact and light
Ideal for on the go
Powerful enough for Office 365 tasks (Outlook, Excel etc)
only one USB (C) port

For a while I was looking for a very compact Windows 2-1 laptop (max 11") to take with me everywhere; The choice in that category is actually very limited. My 15.6" laptop was a bit too big I could just carry it with me everywhere and I didn't have a tablet. So with this 2 birds with one stone.

The purpose of this device is mainly office 365 tasks (Outlook, excel, teams etc) with on the side Netflix, Spotify, internet .. it is perfect for these tasks. It is certainly not a race machine, with a little lag at times but certainly not disturbing. Not recommended for heavier programs.

The keyboard types very pleasantly and immediately ensures that the screen is protected when closed.

I have not yet been able to fully test the battery, but it is already clear that 6-7 hours (at full performance) seems to be the max.

Then a disadvantage, the charger, why couldn't MS make a USB-C charger instead of their own connector.

Review is 8,8 out of 10.

Pleasant device with some limitations that are difficult to

Windows 11, good platform for windows programs.
Nice size, easy to carry
This Surface is pleasantly fast and starts up pretty quickly
Adapter is a specific Microsoft design which makes it incompatible with other adapters

in combination with a case, this is a pretty robust device and suitable as a navigation computer on the boat
