Plus, the company still managed to fit in a headphone jack, a USB-C port, and even a MicroSDXC card reader (behind the nifty kickstand). The Surface Go is incredibly light (it weighs just over a pound), it is very portable (chances are it will fit into your purse), and honestly, it’s uh, cute.
Microsoft can be forgiven here because this form factor does bring plenty of advantages. If you’ve always had reservations about small laptops and you’re intrigued by the Surface Go, make sure it’s not the only computer in your arsenal (remember, it doesn’t even have a single USB-A port). The small form factor is something you are constantly reminded of. The Surface Go is perfectly capable, both because of, and despite, its size. My girlfriend has tiny hands, and she immediately declared “ What is this? A laptop for ants?” I have above-average sized hands, so it took a lot for me to get used to the cramped feeling (I typed this review on the Go, but I had to edit it on a real laptop). Sure, the trackpad is impressively the same size as on the Surface Pro (the Go is really a shrunk-down Pro), but that actually makes it really hard to avoid when you’re typing. This is most apparent in the keyboard - the small size simply doesn’t translate well here. And 10 inches is … well, for some it is perfect, but for most I think it will be too small. The bezels are a bit big, although that’s expected given that this is a low-end device. It’s very responsive, works with the Surface Pen just fine, and is plenty bright. Microsoft made sure to give it a touchscreen, which all laptops should have.
