It's not great to use on a lap either, as the keyboard flaps about and flexes a bit too much. As we've finally been travelling again, we've been attempting to use the Go 3 on trains and airplanes and, well, there's just not really enough space to use it. Much as we're a fan of the Surface kickstand, however, we've found the Surface Go 3 a bit taxing to use with its Type Cover keyboard attached. Tucked behind the stand is a microSD card slot, too, so you can easily expand upon the (rather limited) on-board storage - we'd avoid the entry-level as it's a slow 64GB storage the 128GB SSD is much better, as it's faster, but it's also much pricier as a result. It's a really well designed stand that holds firm and is almost endlessly adjustable from near-upright to almost-flat by design.
Whichever of those setup options appeals the most for your needs, one of the Go 3's best features - and the one that makes it rather versatile in its ways - is the integrated kickstand. So while the Go 3 is a super-portable machine for getting bits and pieces done while on the go, it's just not adept enough to challenge Apple's iPad range on the one hand, while a decent Chromebook would be preferable on the other. Perhaps it's largely to represent Windows 11 - and we must say the ability to install executable files, unlike Windows 10 S from before, is great - but even that can be shown in better light on more advanced devices. But to the point that it barely earns its Surface stripes, really, with lacklustre performance overall and limited battery life.Īdd the lack of any advancement in its design - the same big bezel and a repeat of the ports available as per the previous Go 2 - and we're at odds as to why the Go 3 was pushed out to release. Our quick takeĪs the baby of Microsoft's Surface range, the Go 3 is inevitably the least powerful device of the family. We've been using the Go 3 for a week and, while it's still a perfectly portable Windows machine, it feels like it's behind the times in too many areas to really win the hearts of many.
