Microsoft’s Surface laptops and tablets can be viewed as the windows versions of Mac devices. These innovative machines aim to demonstrate the best of Windows experience on a laptop. Microsoft had launched the Surface Go earlier this year for the global market which is a tablet cum PC that is supposed to aid students. Now, Surface Go has been made available even in India starting today. So let us take a quick look at the specifications and features of this new 2-in-1 computer from Microsoft.
Microsoft Surface Go Features
This new Surface Go is a toned down version of the Surface laptop that still packs all the major traits of a Surface device. This affordable handheld device from Microsoft features a 10-inch PixelSense Display with a resolution of 1800x 1200 and an aspect ratio of 3:2. The device is coated with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. It is powered by Intel’s Pentium Gold processor 4415Y which should breeze you through day-to-day tasks. However, it might not be a great performer if you are looking at graphic-intense games or advanced photo editing tools.
The tablet will come with two RAM variants – 4GB and 8GB – compounded with either a 64GB eMMC drive or a 128GB SSD. The laptop does have a 5MP front-facing camera that helps in Windows Hello face authentication and 1080p Skype video calls. On the rear, we have an 8MP auto-focus camera with 1080p HD video recording. The 2-in-1 tablet packs 2W stereo speakers with Dolby Audio Premium support.
