Original Surface Go (8GB and 128GB) to Surface Go 3 (i3 8GB and 128GB) is a huge improvement. I’ve seen and read reviews that it is a slight improvement over the Surface Go 2 and I don’t know if it would be worth the money to upgrade from a 2. But I’ve had the Go for a couple of years and really like the form factor and size. It’s a little pricey, but a very capable tablet / laptop with excellent build quality and design.
JMG1 –
Excellent value! Makes for a great companion device if you commute.
bbapp –
The new i3 CPU definitely helps this little tablet that could. I was coming off from the Surface Go 2 and Go 3 definitely packs much power. The transitions from app to app is much more seamless. Definitely worth the extra bucks if you’re upgrading!
Techguy –
This is a very nice improvement over past models and I am extremely pleased. I purchased this mainly for travel and using in meetings. The new processor provides just the right amount of speed in carry out what I need to do, from Zoom meetings to writing drafts or responding to emails. The lightweight form factor is excellent.

Enjoyable to work with. Ideal for someone who already has the Surface ecosystem. I have the Surface Pro (5) & Pro 7, Surface Dock and Surface Dock 2 to plug into Desktop environment. Various chargers for car and travel along with USB-C dongles for expansion. Along comes the Surface Go 3 – i3 with 128 SD and 256 expansion card and it makes for the perfect travelcouch tabletwork related computer. I have read the reviews stating that it can’t do real work and they are wrong. I have the same software programs installed on it as I do on the Pro 7 and they all work fine. Some critics try to compare the Go 3 with high end products. Most reviewers fail to recognize the Go 3 is a special form factor. It is the perfect size for sitting on the easy chair or travel. For example, I use the Nikon NX studio and Nikon Transfer 2 to transfer pictures from the camera to the Go 3. It doesn’t stop there. I don’t use Photoshop since I like the Affinity Photo, Designer, Publisher programs better and they do everything Photoshop does. They work with no slow down on this “small” tabletbig computer especially when connected to the surface doc 2 and large screen, keyboard and mouse. The Surface Pen also works nicely on this tablet while resting lightly on your lap. Yes, it’s true that each type of computer has its pluses and minuses. But that is why it is so important for the buyer to read any given review through their own eyes of what they are going to use it for. Some have a bias against a certain company or they try to compare apples to oranges and make them all apples. If you are buying one computer and want it to do everything then the Go 3 is not the one. However, if it is going to be used to supplement what you already have then the additional usage it brings to the table is well worth it. To be honest, I like having the Go 3 on my lap more than the Pro 7. Since the programs I use require Windows the Go 3 is much better for me to have on hand than an Android tablet or even and iPad. Bottom line: consider the computer ecosystem you have, the programs you require and then decide. But don’t let a so-called higher critic make that decision for you. I am retired now, but I used to work as a Network administrator, we had hundreds of computers, servers etc. Depending on the need, some computers had to have more processing power than others. With that in mind I have no qualms about recommending the Surface Go 3 Intel Core i3 8 GB memory – 128 GB SSD. You can start your work on the Surface Pro 7 and then continue smoothly, if you so desire, on the Go 3. I also have the Lenova Yoga Tab 11 and while it is good for what it does (it is cheaper) but if you need more options then don’t hesitate to make the plunge and get the Go 3. The build quality is on par with the Pro 7 (It is like having a mini-pro 7. It is a pleasure to use.

So far so good! I’ve only had the device for a months.
DebbieC –
I love it! It goes everywhere with me. The battery is long lasting and it does everything I need it to do. A wise investment.
Mixerf –
Employee was vey nice and very helpful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a computer.
AKPaul –
It’s not a powerhouse but it’s great for what it is. I use it every day. This is my third Surface Go tablet and I am very satisfied for the price.
KWWaters –
Handy Windows 11 tablet! The optional mouse is a necessary add-on if you want to access most pull-down menus. The optional Touch pen is nice and the optional keyboard could be nicer if the keys were indented. The optional Microsoft keyboard is more efficient because it doesn’t tie up the bluetooth connection.
mrmarvin –
Finally a PC in true tablet form. I have been using my surface with Microsoft surface keyboard and really like it so far. I feel like the battery life could be improved.
JetMan –
Intel Core 3 8gb is the only way to go if you are considering the Surface Go 3.
surfaceuser –
Good tablet, does all I needed it to do. would recommend it.
Keyboard –
Love my surfaces, they are my go-to for traveling meetings and going around the office, they are compact and I never have trouble with them
Edward –
Very easy order online. The most reasonable price, Gorgeous colors, can be carried anywhere, slim pen easily used, powerful battery, excellent sound.In short, very satisfied. Thanks.
Jenn –
This is an upgrade from the Surface Go 2 which was an upgrade from the original Surface Go – each time I bought the high end model and was never disappointed… The 2 was better than the original and I am loving the 3 which is better than the 2.
So far I am loving it and getting higher FPS on the few games I play on this then I did with the 2, and things seem to be going quicker. No regrets, I am happy I upgraded!
Spsmith400 –
Great little tablet. Runs all my software reasonably fast. Nice screen. A little spendy, but would recommend for anyone wanting a small pc that’s easy to pack around.
FrankZ7 –
I returned this item. For some reason I couldn’t install Microsoft Office. Seriously!
Christine –
I have had my Surface Go 3, core i3 model for 1 month now. I initially bought this device as a 2nd PC to use at home, mostly watching You Tube, and for a travel device,
Since I got the Go 3 I haven’t used my Asus laptop at all! Because most of what I do is now through the browser I haven’t had any issues using the tablet docked. I even bought the expensive MS Surface Dock 2 a few weeks ago.
I use it for paying bills and working on Office 360 docs. It’s so nice that this tablet is a full PC, my printer and other peripherals just work with it, Unlike an Android tablet, Chromebook, and especially an iPad.
Windows 11 is not a great touch OS, but I get by just fine. The Go 3 is small enough I use it as a tablet more often than I did the Surface Pro I had a few years ago. The pen is nice I have colored with it and it came in really handy recently signing some documents. I also think the Go 3 works better on your lap than the larger Surface models because it’s not so long that the kickstand falls off your knees. That said the design work best on a table. Since it’s so small and light portability is excellent.
Surfac devices can be pricey but the display quality and sharpness is really good, I don’t mind the smaller screen even in Excel. My Go 3 has much louder and fuller audio than my laptop. The design of the kickstand, SD card slot, and build quality make it feel worth the price. I do wish it had 256gb of ssd storage, but I use OneDrive and a 250gb SD card. So far I am still in S mode.
Lastly, once you experience it, there is something so nice about a completely silent fan-less PC. As a home PC and media consumption device I highly recommend it.
Marcneo –
I was so happy that i bought the Surface Go . it has performed as described and i use it daily. compact enough to take with me and with the cases available. this is the best electronic purchase I have ever made
DonE –
Great little computer/tablet. I’m a little disappointed that more apps can’t be downloaded. Microsoft led us to believe that W11 would allow us to access the Android Play store. Not the case. We have to go through the Amazon store to access a limited number of apps unless you want to jump through a third party program which could screw up your computer.
The unit itself is very nice. You definitely need the keyboad (sold separately from this model) to do any type of computing.
Make sure that you shop around to make sure that you’re getting the best price.

if you are looking for something small like a pad, but need the full CPU ability this is it
Jimmy –
Pretty sleek and easy to use. Love it so far. I work out in the field and I can carry it everywhere
Lefty –
This is a fantastic tablet/PC. You can do virtually anything with it. It is fast and very compact. It was a great deal.
Mike –
Like the portability and having Windows on a tablet sized form factor
Wally –
Great tablet for Windows 11. Easy to setup and use
DIane –
I got this tablet to help with completing work while traveling. It is the perfect size for on-the-go work.

The surface go 3 is great for consuming web content and watching videos/streaming content. It’s small form factor is a plus when it comes to portability. Screen is fine, plenty bright and good color. The speakers are good for a tablet. The tablet comes with Windows on S mode, which means you can only use apps from the Microsoft store. You can however change this in the settings and turn this mode off, this giving you access to any program a PC can run. That being said, this is not a desktop replacement. It will not handle demanding/intensive tasks, though it was not built for that. You would need to start looking at the beefier options above this range. There is a 64GB/4GB option available. I have used this more striped down version and can’t recommend it. Windows alone eats up close to half the 64GB’S of storage. Plus 4GB of RAM is painfully too small. I believe this model only exists so MS could hit a target price point, but honestly it shouldn’t exist. It is slow, laggy, and an overall bad experience. Modern Windows was never meant to run on 8GB of RAM or less. Do yourself a favor, if you want the surface go 3, get the 128/8 model, you’ll be glad you did.
rafids3 –
great device, and glad that it has space for extra storage
rrg54 –
This is an excellent Windows 11 computer that is so small and portable. It has the Intel Core i3, which makes all the difference (and I have never paid attention to processors). With a touch screen, too. For what this is, you can’t do better.
Jammerbone –
I bought this to replace the android tablet that was slowing down, and I wanted a Windows version. So far I like the touchscreen and the functions of the apps and site I visit. The screen size is right for viewing information and videos. The battery lasts for a while, and I assume it’s due to be fairly new. The only issue is that I want to install Chrome, but it won’t do so directly. But the tablet does the job I need, and I hope it will perform well for a while.
TucsonReader –
Perfect for travel. I just need a little bigger screen for my aging eyes so I bought a 7+. Surface 9 was way too big.
rlinker3 –
I live the Surface Go because its so light and portable. Plus despite its lower end specs it really is a good tablet to use day to day.
Unknown –
We use these for work, and they are great. We buy probably 8 per month.
Ren10 –
Excelente product I like how this works. It is easy and small.
user713778 –
Know specifically what you intend for its use and stay within those parameters so as not to use up so much RAM. I like that it is Windows and delivers as promised – plus small, compact and easy to use.
BRUCELEESTYLE1 –
Pretty good for the price weigh light easy to use. It’s a win.
