Surface Go Review - It’s Awesome

Dave2D review of the Microsoft Surface Go. This is the best 2 in 1 laptop from Microsoft for students on a tighter budget.

This 2in1 tablet/laptop is incredibly small and has a ton of potential for people who need an ultra portable device that can be used as a comfortable tablet as well as a very functional laptop. This is great for developers, students, work or even for media consumption as a secondary device.

Surface Go has a ton of potential. I wish the keyboard wasn't so expensive but it really is a tiny and super portable Surface computer. Thanks for watching!

"overall, it is not cheap." Dave is one of the few tech reviewers who is genuine enough to say those kind of things. Most tech reviewers just act like 'hey if you can afford it it's great' and then they talk about how good it is and all that. The whole - making the video entirely positive to make ppl think it's a good review, that's not yaboi's approach, and we appreciate him for that.

Dude, have you seen your videos??

I am a PhD student and I just ordered Surface Go as my secondary device to take notes and reading PDF. You mentioned it at the end. Feeling great that I purchased the same :)

"The Surface Go has plenty of surface area"

I hope the pun was intended there

[ritikkarkera]

No intro straight to the point...felt a little different. Cool!

[MRJMXHD]

Your videos are awesome and satisfying to watch. No annoying music, clean and minimalistic.

Keep up the great work Dave! 👌

love how everyone is roasting it because of the bezel size but guess what if you to use it as a tablet this will prevent accidental touches and you something to hold on to not mention not everyone cares about that any ways

I'm an online English teacher and I use the Surface Go in all of my sessions and it is so handy. I can teleconference via Skype or Zoom without any issues.

i laughed out loud when I saw the mac book cam comparison

This device pretty much gives you the same functionality as an IPad and a 12 inch Macbook combined for only 25% of the price.

A thick bezel is good, you can't hold your tablet on a small bezel with one hand, don't try being fancy by making a small bezel on a tablet form factor, small bezel for phone is fine, but not for tablet, unless Windows 10 have a software feature that can eliminate accidental touch on the screen when you're holding on a small bezel

This was a surprising video for me. There's a number of YouTube folks I assumed would go nuts for this device but I did not think it would be a slam dunk for you. I think the reason this review is so effective is you've made the case for exactly what it's great at and who it would be great for without getting bogged down in the material that the super fans are going to cover anyway. Nice work as usual!

I've hated on Microsoft a little for the prices of the Surface line, but I picked up a used Surface 3 and I gotta say...it is shocking how much I like it.

The webcam and speakers alone are simply stunning, let alone the staggering build quality.

So my complaint remains on price new, but it is worth it if you can spend it. You'll get what you're paying for.

You can't go wrong saving some bucks on a previous generation. They are exquisite.

Anyone in 2019 that's still looking at the surface go, definitely go for the 8gb ram model. Its snappier. Since i bought it and used it a lot for the week, its been nothing but kind to me. If you do not mind the uncommon stuttering and the 1 usb c port, it is a very good device for people who want portability AND functionality at a cheaper price. Though it is not cheap with the 8gb model with the $99 keyboard, it comes up around $600+ (The cheapest near me was at a best buy with Kb and surface go bundled with office 365 free, totaling at $780 including tax in my area) So if anyone does find a place that has it on sale, snag it, its worth it.


Id also like to note that the device does come with 1 MicroSD slot (up to 128gb) Worth it if you do install games on it or have pictures as well.

Okay you seem like such a nice guy. Your videos are short and sweet to the point. You have helped me pick out my laptop for this school year. 👌🏼👊🏼👍🏼🤓

A big channel with great production quality, quick straight to the point videos that perfectly balances what you need to know with what you want to know. Those are rare! Subscribed

Using this since December 2018 as my main device. Excellent device for productivity and media consumption. Great screen, speakers and typing experience. Only downside is it's battery life. only 4 hours of backup which is pretty low. Otherwise this surface go is love.

Those bezels are bigger than my future...
