It boasts responsive 10-point touch technology, as well. To my eyes, the panel is as sharp and as crisp as the excellent displays on other Surface products. It bears a 1,800-by-1,200-pixel native resolution, which works out to a 3:2 aspect ratio and 217 pixels per inch. The display measures 10 inches on the diagonal, but the pixel density is very high. Still, it does manage to be slightly slimmer than the Lenovo Miix 320 (0.4 inch) and the Acer Switch 3 (0.39 inch), and much trimmer than the 0.7-inch-thick Lenovo Flex 6 11 ($189.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window). (With any detachable, that is the price you pay for full detachability.) In fact, it's roughly the same thickness as its full-size counterpart, the 0.33-inch-thick Surface Pro. Is thinness won't wow you-being as slim as possible isn't really possible here, as there's a lot of hardware to fit behind just a display. It's not the first Windows 10 tablet, by any means, but it does come off as one of the nicest and most fully featured. (As a point of comparison for the design, it feels a bit like holding a squarer Nintendo Switch in its size and build.)

The main tablet measures 0.33 by 9.6 by 6.98 inches (HWD) and weighs just 1.15 pounds, a highly portable slate made of quality magnesium and just a few feathers above the weight of that 1-pound tablet icon, the Apple iPad (2017). The Surface Go is, like the Surface Pro, just a Windows tablet at heart, with optional accessories such as a keyboard cover turning it into a laptop, if you like. It apes the established aesthetic and feel of the larger flagship device, with everything just sized down. While it may sound silly, picture the Surface Go as a Surface Pro that's been put in the clothes dryer a bit too long. Though performance isn't particularly speedy, the Surface Go (starts at $399 $549 as tested) is a great mobile companion for less-demanding work, a natural fit for travelers, and an inexpensive option for classrooms. Most of what's familiar about the Pro is here (its design cues, sharp touch display, and built-in kickstand), just with more modest internal components. Microsoft is now taking the Surface concept smaller with the Surface Go, a 10-inch Windows tablet that's a shrunken-down version of the Surface Pro. Indeed, Surfaces have defined what makes for a visually-and functionally-exceptional laptop/tablet detachable. Over the years, Microsoft's Surface line has inspired a host of imitators in the convertible 2-in-1 market.
