Microsoft finally unveiled the third iteration of its affordable Surface Go tablet following a long series of leaks. The new 10.5-inch Surface Go 3 comes pre-installed with Windows 11 and features slightly newer Intel processors for those who need a performance boost.
Under the hood, the base model, which starts at $399, comes with an Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage. Microsoft is also offering another model with a faster Intel Core i3-10100Y CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and a 128 GB SSD. “Designed to light up the best of Windows 11, Surface Go 3 is 60% faster with an Intel Core i3 processor,” the company said today.
It’s important to note that the new Surface Go 3 will retain the same design, including the 10.5-inch display with a 1920×1280 resolution. Additionally, the ports selection on the Surface Go 3 have not changed, unlike on the Surface Pro 8 which now has dual Thunderbolt ports. The Go 3 still comes with a USB-C port, a micro-SD port as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also has the same dual microphones and 2W Dolby Audio speakers as its predecessor. As for battery life, the Surface Go 3 should deliver up to up to 13 hours of battery life, according to Microsoft.
The new Surface Go 3 is available for pre-order today in select markets starting at $399 at the Microsoft Store as well as other major retailers. Microsoft also plans to offer an LTE version of the Surface Go 3 in the coming months.
In addition to the Surface Go 3, Microsoft also announced the Surface Laptop Studio, the Surface Duo 2, the Surface Pro 8 as well as a new Surface Pro X. We invite you to check out our separate posts for more details.
