The Microsoft Surface Go is especially useful if you want to run your favorite Windows Apps on a portable tablet. As part of the Surface family that includes the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book 2, the Surface Go can also be used as a notebook (if you add the Signature Type Cover). It could run any Windows applications, use a handy stylus and has a built-in normal PC sized USB Type-C port. Unlike the Surface Pro 4 which had a physical DisplayPort connector to connect to monitors, the Surface Go USB Type-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video support as well as USB Power Delivery 2.0 technology for charging.
Here's a closer look at the Surface Go from inside its packaging after purchase.
This Surface Go model comes with Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y chipset, 64GB storage, 4GB RAM, and runs on Windows 10.
Generally the Surface Go comes with a Surface Connect AC power adapter and documentation just like with most of the Surface family.
Like the Surface Book 2, the Surface Go keeps the 3.5mm audio jack which in fact is only one of the three connectors on the tablet other than the USB Type-C port and a Surface Connect port at the bottom of the tablet.
The power adapter connects to the Surface Go through the legacy Surface Connect connector.
The Surface Go supports both a USB 3.1 Gen 1 based USB Type-C connector and a Surface Connect connector similar to the Surface Book 2. There is also a SD card slot which the tablet maintains.
Using the USB Power Delivery Compliance C2 Tester from Granite River Labs to run just a subset of the full USB Power Delivery compliance test suite, some compliance failures were observed for the Surface Go.
