Microsoft has recently launched the latest addition to its Surface line of computers – The Surface Go. The new device is a smaller and cheaper version of the successful Surface Pro tablet. Although being less powerful than the Surface Pro, the Surface Go still maintains the same premium build and design seen on its elder sibling.
The Go features a 10-inch pixel sense display which has a 3:2 aspect ratio (1800 x 1200 pixel resolution) with corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, a 5MP front-facing camera with Windows Hello face authentication, an 8MP rear-facing autofocus camera with 1080p HD video, and Microsoft’s proprietary Surface Connector port for charging and connecting to a desktop dock. Microsoft has added a USB-C 3.1 port, capable of charging the tablet or outputting video and data to external devices.
