Microsoft Surface Go 3 i3 (8GB RAM, 128GB, Black) - BRAND NEW review
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 video calls.- Excellent webcam, Lightweight and easy to carry, No bloatware
- Super short battery life, Appalling performance, Type Cover not included, Thick bezels

As home-based learning became common earlier this year, I began looking at the Surface Go 2 laptop-♥♥♥-tablet as an affordable and portable machine for my daughter. So, when the new Surface Go 3 emerged in recent weeks, I was expecting a nice update.

The Surface Go 3 looks nice, feels great and has a lot of potential as a mini tablet that offers a full Windows 11 PC experience. But it is hindered by slow chips with inconsistent, laggy performance and a poor battery life.- Pros: slim, light, good screen, great kickstand, decent speakers, USB-C, Windows Hello, full Windows 11 Home, microSD card reader, wifi 6, Bluetooth 5.
- Cons: slow, inconsistent performance, short battery life, no USB-A ports, £100 keyboard essential but not included, Windows 11 not fully baked, comparatively expensive.

The Surface Go 3 is the latest entry in Microsoft’s range of tablets, which can also be turned into a makeshift laptop when paired with the sold-separately Type Cover. It’s an appealing form factor for watching video and scrolling through social media, while also being handy for writing duties with...- Boosted performance, Windows 11 improves the tablet experience, Great design, with built-in stand, You want a Windows 11 tablet : Windows 11 is a nice step up on Windows 10 for tablets, with more touch-friendly icons making it far easier to navigate.

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.- 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

Microsoft Surface Go 3: A still-impressive design is undermined by a puny entry-level CPU that is barely fit for purpose- Excellent display, Very good speakers, Top-quality webcam
- Thick screen bezels, Keyboard a costly extra, Pentium models underpowered

To find a tablet that can actually double up as an effective laptop is rather tough to find. Unless you are willing to splash the cash on the iPad Pro. The search for an Android tablet — that can also be used as a laptop —starts and ends with the rather expensive Samsung Galaxy Tab S series.

From what I can tell, Microsoft intends the Surface Go 3 to be sold to two kinds of customers: kids and IT professionals who need a tiny computer when they’re out in the field. I’m in the third category of potential customers: people who love tiny computers.- Small and light, Windows 11 looks nice, Multi-user support
- Bad battery life, Keyboard cover too flimsy, Too expensive
