This new Surface weighs just under 1.3kg and is 14.5mm thick – virtually identical to the MacBook and a little thicker than the Dell. The MacBook comes in space grey, gold and silver, while the Dell’s available in silver, white or gold. It's more visual versatility than rivals. The familiar Alcantra fabric isn’t standard now, either –that soft material is only available on the blue and platinum models, with aluminium used elsewhere. Last year’s burgundy has been binned this year, the platinum, black and blue options are joined by a new gold shade. Instead of changing the design, Microsoft has tweaked some of the aesthetic options. Sure it won't please everyone, but for every day use it's more than adequate.There may not be a design revolution, but the Surface still looks brilliant – easily the equal of the MacBook and the Dell. Otherwise the m3 Go 2 is an adequate performer. There are only a few things that I do occasionally that I switch to a more powerful machine. A quick top off at dinner gets me through the evening. That basically takes me through a workday. I keep the display brightness at 50% and under though. I'm getting a much longer battery life for my m3 Go2 than is being reported here, probably twice as long.

They'll likely find something to suit them better than the Go. I get that people want the Go to be inexpensive, powerful and to last forever but that's not the GO and if price or power are primary considerations folks should look elsewhere. If that's what you want a Surface Pro just isn't going to cut it. I totally agree that the Go line is all about the 10' form factor and lightweight portability. I don't think the reviewer gets the Go line, even though he says he likes small computers.
