Now at iteration 4, here is the Surface Go. This release marks a clear shift for Microsoft away from the consumer market and towards business users. Our reviews of the Surface Go 2 and the Surface Go 3 clearly show that this line of portable hybrid laptop tablets are just not cut out for creatives like graphic designers and are barely sufficient for digital artists. They benefit from portability but lack the necessary power to do much with them.
The Surface Go 4 suffers from many of the same problems that the previous versions did. In essence, I don’t think it quite knows what it is and in attempting to be both a laptop and a tablet it ends up doing both pretty badly. The Surface Go 4 might appear to be a more budget option for people but once you’ve purchased the Type Cover and the Surface Pen you’re quickly moving out of that category.
