New Microsoft Surface Go 2 - 10.5" Touch-Screen - Intel Pentium - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD - Wifi - Platinum (Latest Model)EPEAT

Using it as a backup for my work laptop - for cases when you are out of home, still need a full functionality with win10 (11) but don't want to bring the laptop with you. 8gb ram is enough, disk is fine + you can easily insert extra sd cards or sdd via usb3 port. The procession is a bit sleepy, so if you need graphics editing or other resource hungry apps running on it, it probably not fit you( I am mostly connecting to the office desktop via RDP and work through it in such scenarios). But at the other hand , the battery life is insane - 10-11 hours of actual work on one charge - at the next generation (Surface Go 3 with i3/i5) it is about 2.5 times lower than that!So so far I am very glad with my choice, not the cutting-edge stuff, but for the price of a simple tablet, it's more than I've been asking for

I take this on every trip, use it to read emails, shop online ect. It has taken the place of my laptop because it's easier and lighter to use.

When I was upgrading from my Surface Go original, I looked at comparisons of the 2 and 3. Since the 3 was a minor upgrade from the 2, I saved a few hundred bucks by buying the 2. I haven't been disappointed! I began by using it for research and writing at the National Gallery of Art in DC, but it worked so well it's now my primary computer at home as well. Of course, I'm not a gamer, and I don't edit videos, etc. I primarily use Word and Note, , Gmail and Chrome, and do online research. I just slip it easily into a small computer bag to take on the road and put it back on my desk at home. Works like a dream. I also use the stylus all the time to write comments on PDFs and Word documents. Totally satisfied that I didn't pay extra for specs and capabilities (and weight) I didn't need.

I'm using the Gold processor with 8 gb of ram wifi only. I never understand the bash about this processor. It handles spotify, web browsing, installing updates or Office workflow just perfect. This isn't the fastes neither the smothest experience, but for the size, price and overall experience, it just works. Fluid and decentBattery life is around 7 or 6 hours using 75% brightness and just wifi. But you can improve battery life with just moderate usage.Great screen, it looks nice and clean, sound is also great, not crazy loud but decent with clear voice and audio.Camera is top, better than many laptops.I would recommend a keyboard, The official one. Add a great value as a small computer but also work as a case for tablet use.I understand people using Apple for the great apps and amazing product quality, same with Samsung and the best speakers and screen outhere. But this device stay behind in those aspects but still it has a great screen and great media consumption experience.Surface give you the chances to use this tablet as a small full laptop with real desktop apps and it totally defeats Samsung and Apple.If you ever hesitate about purchasing this device, but maybe in the future you are planning to use a tablet as a small personal computer. This is the device to go.I'm writing this review using Surface Go 2 with Windows 10 Pro. Still perfect

I am happy with this tablet/computer. The only thing that's not 100% is the response of the touch screen. You have to something several times before it "takes." But other than that, this is a very good product and I'd buy it again.

Good for school

Firstly, it is a general microsoft problem that one note is not nearly as convenient to use as notability when you are working with pdfs. I made the mistake of assuming that all tablet programs for dealing with pdfs are equally good since I thought that such programs were childs play for modern programmers, but I learned the hard way that this is not true. You can thankfully download drawboard pdf as a better version of one note, but to get all the features you have to pay. Even then, the stuff I write on drawboard occasionally disappears for now reason, and after consulting with a few friends i concluded that this was due to my tablet and not due to the drawboard app.Other than the microsoft/apple difference, the touch screen is not very effect even if you buy a compatible pen. I am extremely disappointed given how much money I spent on this. I definitely recommend people to just buy an ipad instead.

I received my order promptly and was delighted to find it in excellent condition. Opting for a pre-owned product saved me a significant amount of money, and it doesn't even look used! I was initially considering purchasing a Surface Go 3, but a friend recommended the Surface 2 instead, arguing that it delivers better value for your money. Having upgraded from the original Surface Go, I can confidently say that I made the right decision. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase!
