The latest member of the Microsoft Surface product family is an ultra compact, 10.5-inch tablet that's a capable Windows 10 PC. A budget of just $500 will get you the entry-level Surface Go with 64 GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM, but you'll have to pick up the trackpad and keyboard separately.
During our test with the Surface Go, we found that it was powerful enough to handle a steady stream of apps without slowing down. Microsoft claims that the Surface Go is capable of delivering up to 10 hours of video playback between charges.
The Surface Go 2 is a wonderful video chat companion, too. It features dual 5 MP front- and rear-facing cameras that are even clearer than the $1,700 Dell XPS 13’s webcam I most recently tested. Not only that, this computer has twin microphones that help increase clarity and reduce background noise.
Overall, this PC is a compact and versatile option that's perfect for work or play. If you’re looking for a practical, affordable, and stylish mini laptop, you won’t be disappointed.
