Since Microsoft announced the first Surface in 2012, the industry has changed. The iPad had introduced major changes in the PC market, and Microsoft could not be ruled out. Although with moderate success, the important thing is that at that time he managed to have influence. He did not achieve the same thing in the education sector, where he has never had his own competitors for the iPad and the Chromebooks. Until now. The Surface Go name of the new invention of Redmond, was completely filtered in a few hours to be presented, and a priori, does not shine too much .

As can be seen in the pictures, it happens with frames that in the whole screen time are excessive. Among them, a 10-inch screen 1800 x 1200 pixels and a ratio of 3: 2 recently very popular for its productivity. The density remains at 216 pixels per inch a decent number given the distance it will be used.

The Surface Go input processor will be an Intel Pentium Gold Processor 4415Y, which in synthetic benchmarks works similarly to an Apple A9 or a third-generation low power i3 c & # 39, that is, 6 years ago. This, as well as the fact that the input model has 64GB of storage eMMC (already buried in the high-end Android and iOS devices), it is impossible to expect a great performance of the machine. For higher configurations yes will be able to achieve higher performance SSDs of 128 and 256 GB .

The multitasking will be powered by 4GB or 8GB LPDDR3 which without being exaggerated, they will probably offer a performance more than adequate. It will probably improve with the keyboard (sold separately), which is covered with the Alcantara fiber that is so controversial (because of its durability) generated in each version. The path of the keys will be one millimeter, which according to Microsoft is worth " the best keyboard experience that exists in Surface ". Do it backlit or evaluate.

New to the family (except for Surface Book 2) is USB-C port against the inclusion discussed at the time. Also comes a surface connector as always magnetic, with a slot for microSDXC cards. The audio is not sacrificed either, as it includes a 3.5 millimeter plug.

Regarding the operating system, the Surface Go arrives with Windows 10 Home S but the user can change to Windows 10 Home to install applications outside the Windows Store.
