At inspection

Common Microsoft Surface Go issues we check at inspection

  • Limited performance. The Intel Pentium Gold processor can struggle with demanding applications or heavy multitasking, leading to slower performance compared to more powerful tablets or laptops.
  • Windows 10 S limitations. The initial Windows 10 S operating system restricts users to apps from the Microsoft Store, requiring an upgrade to Windows 10 Home/Pro for full desktop application compatibility.
  • Average battery life. While adequate for light use, the battery life is often considered mediocre, especially when performing more intensive tasks or using it as a primary work device.
  • Accessories sold separately. Essential accessories like the Type Cover keyboard and Surface Pen are sold separately, significantly increasing the overall cost.
