5 Key advantages of Microsoft Surface Go
- Price: At just 399$, half the price of the Microsoft Surface tablet, Microsoft Surface Go is absolute VFM. You are getting Surface Pen compatible display that can detect 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity.
- Full Desktop Experience: Surface Go runs Windows 10 operating system so all your desktop applications will run just fine on this tablet. There are lot of applications that are customized for tablet interface, available on Microsoft Windows Store. This helps a lot as you do not have to search for a desktop/laptop when you require desktop OS for a task.
- Accessories : Surface Pen (stylus), Surface Dock (docking station), Surface Mobile Mouse (bluetooth mouse), Surface Go signature Type Cover help you add more value to your Surface Go. For example, using Surface Dock, you can connect two external monitors, multiple USB devices and a LAN cable to Surface Go laptop turning it into a proper desktop like device. Using Surface Signature type cover, you can turn the Microsoft Surface Go into a laptop.
- Education: In portrait mode, the screen was designed to render the page to the scale of most school textbooks, and in landscape mode, it can render pages side by side as if you were holding a paperback book in hand. At the approximate size of a composition notebook, writing on the screen feels natural and intuitive. Also, with Surface Pen, you can use the tablet like a canvas. You can write, annotate, mark etc using the surface pen. Thanks to built in kickstand, one can place it on lap or on a table without holding it and this eliminates fatigue associated with holding a tablet PC for long duration.
- Battery Life: With up to 9 hours of battery life, you can forget about running to a charger port while at work on when in class room. There are very very few devices with this kind of battery life (running full fledged laptop class OS).
