I have the tab S7 and the surface Go 3 core i3. The tab S7 with the keyboard and dex is a phenomenal productivity machine, it doesn't get hot it runs very smoothly, but it is so limited by the tablet interface. The problem with Samsung and apples IPad is that the Microsoft apps are basically unusable, one note is bare bones and featureless, excel doest have near the features as the desktop, microsoft word doesn't even have a references tab. The apps microsoft are almost unusable on tablets. The surface Go 3 on the other hand, runs full fledged Windows 11. You can download full softwares and desktop applications, you get the full microsoft desktop apps with all of the features, you get xbox game pass, the only downside I've experienced is the device gets HOT because there is no fan. The surface go 3 with the core i3 runs like a beast and in my opinion is far superior to any tablet. My S7 is now primarily used for media consumption and coaching

It's good you stated right up front that this is a test of the base model specifically so people can see it in action and decide if it's worth it for the price. Of course double the ram and a beefier processor will make for a better experience- but it's important for many people to know if the base model is feasible or, in this case, if they can just drop it from the list of possible devices. I think the bigger takeaway here is that the Slim Pen upgrade doesn't "fix" the drawing situation. It's not a power issue- it's base compatibility. Further proof will keep people from dropping money on an ultimately useless upgrade.

Yes, it's the ssd, not the processor. So the next model up, which still uses the pentium is really the best value, since the i3 and the pentium this year are almost identical as far as performance goes. The problem is the emmc ssd's that they use in the base model with 64gb of storage. When you step up to 128gb, you get major performance gains, not to mention more than 4gb of ram, which is a big never on windows machines nowadays. 8gb of ram is the new baseline.

If it's the same as the Go 2, the higher spec version runs much better than the Pentium Gold. It's like 2 or 3 times better. It's always difficult to review the Surface Go, as the performance disparity between the base configuration and higher end one is night and day. Not just the processor, but also the RAM (Windows already used a lot of RAM, so 4GB won't last long before it used pagefile) and even differences between slower eMMC and a proper SSD. Still, yeah, the pen isn't that good. There's Surface Pen alternative that works better though, like the Renneiser 520. Also when you get the higher end version, it isn't that far off from Surface Pro line pricing-wise, so you had to like the form factor to choose the Go over the Pro.

Anyone else think the markup for 8 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD is absurd? Comparing this with the base model iPad for a moment, that device comes with all the RAM you need in the base model for $70 cheaper than the Surface Go, with the same amount of storage, but faster. If you need more storage, that model has double the storage of the upgraded Surface Go, also for $70 less. On second thought, Apple’s lack of a 128 GB offering makes the iPad almost as offensive. But you can get a 7th or 8th Gen iPad from some sellers with 128 GB for $429 or less, hopefully $379 or less at this point, given that’s where the 128 GB 9th Gen would slot in. And the major advantage to using a Surface Go is that it’s a full PC, so I disagree with people who say it’s not fair to take it out of S mode, but I think your half-and-half review is a good balance.

Weak processors? Uhhh WHAT? ... O_o ...Microsoft has put the latest & greatest x86 CPU's available in every single Surface tablet they've released. The OG Surface Pro was GROUNDBREAKING for fitting a full-fat 2-core/4-thread "U" series i7 in it and the Surface Pro 6's jump to quad-cores was even MORE CRAZY for a mm's thin & fanless device. Sure, the base model of this guy is pretty damn slow, but that's a RARE exception because nothing else was even CLOSE to this guy in terms of build quality & HW features at that price point when it launched! What other x86 computer THAT CHEAP is that thin & light, made of freaking magnesium, AND has an integrated pen digitizer??? The answer would be none. And lol ridiculous pricing??? Their prices are competitive with everything else in Windows land and Surface's are extremely often on CRAZY good sales. Base model + Type Cover combo's of current Surface Pro models can be REGULARLY found for just $600-$700ish, & even less if you're willing to look at older generations! Surface tablet's aren't even in the same UNIVERSE of price gouging as Apple's 14" & 16" MacBook Pro's. And starting w/ SP7+ Microsoft even lets you upgrade the M.2 NVMe SSD storage yourself!!! And EASILY too! Meaning you can get a 128GB base model & then upgrade it to 512GB w/ a M.2 2230 SSD for just $55 off eBay! Please do explain how Apple's MacBooks can compete in terms of price with a self upgraded storage Surface Pro of the same SSD size? The answer is they fucking can't. Hell, they can't even compete even if talking STRICTLY about out of the box specs & prices!

Thank you, Brad for this viable info and review of how the Surface Go 3 is not great for art and general compute stuff. I have a base 6th gen. iPad with Apple Pencil that I bought new in 2018 or around $32.9 for the iPad and $100. for the Apple Pencil (if I remember correctly). I am a hobby artist and don't need top of the line digital art equipment. That being said my 6th gen. iPad is way better at drawing as compared to the Surface Go 3.

All iPads that can use the pencil are better than any surface model for drawing. Windows is miles away from even coming close

Can you do a video to see if the best iPad is better then the best computer/surface meaning is a computer like the surface pro better then the iPad Pro? Because I want to use procreate and I don’t know what to use, either the best iPad (iPad Pro) or computer (surface pro)?

What's the best surface for art and illustration?

I don't think the surface go is meant for professionals. There is a reason the surface pro is named that way. I think surface go is mostly for students that just mostly use office applications (like a chrome os competitor)

Is the charging cord bulky? That's one thing that i don't like about Microsoft products -- they can't seem to make light weight chargers for travel

The only reason why I think someone would get this over an ipad or android tablet is if they enrolled into a school that had a "Digital first" campaign more than a decade ago but hasn't bothered to follow up and so you need to install some jank bios based security system that hasn't been updated in a decade to just access some jank LMS system and WiFi and decided not to buy a second hand surface.

for what you spend on a new product, it could be better to try a Samsung Tab or Apple IPad☺️

Hey nice review. But I have read there is heating issue in some versions of SG2 and SG3. Would you pls specify about it? I am planning to buy either SG2 (Refurbished) or SG3 (New) for basic use like word/excel/you tube viewing as a secondary option but don’t want a roaster. Which version should I opt for basic use? 4GB/64 or 8GB/128? M3 or Pentium? Will appreciate your input. Thanks..

Not sure if you are planning on it, but will you be doing a review of the new macbook pro 14 with the M1Pro? I recently got a macbook pro Intel right before they announced the M1 and was super bummed out but now I am happy that the new models have the HMDI and SD reader. Just wanted to know how well the apps work for artists. The tech channels all they talk about is bench marks but I want to know how well art programs run on it. Thanks Brad!

I have both a Surface Go 3 and an iPad Mini 6. The iPad is better for drawing but the Surface is better for studying.
