Surface Pro vs. Surface Go – What’s The Best Pick?

If you want to a new Surface tablet? We have made a comparison between two different devices to choose from that might help you.

Surface Pro has a display of 12.3-inch, 2736×1824, and 267 ppi while Surface Go has a 10-inch, 1800×1200 and 216 ppi one along with an OS Windows 10 Home in S mode contrary to Surface Pro’s Windows 10 Pro.

Their processor is 7th Gen Intel Core m3 7Y30, 7th Gen Intel Core i5-7300U, 7th Gen Intel Core i7-7660U respectively Intel Pentium GOLD 4415Y with battery lives of 13.5 and 9 hours.

There is not a big difference between their RAM, Surface Pro is also available with 16GB aside from 4GB, and 8GB had by Surface Go, and they both have LTE and fully adjustable kickstands up to 165 degrees.

What else they have in common is the microSD, 5MP front camera and 8MP rear camera, Windows Hello Facial Recognition, WiFi, 4.1 Bluetooth, same ports and dual speakers.

Now for the price, Surface Go starts from $399 while the other model from $799.

Taking every detail into consideration, you are paying a pretty significant sum for Surface Pro even though is the more powerful one. However, you can go with Surface Go if you do not mind a smaller screen and do not find all the extra horsepower as a must have. If you would use the device for production or creative purposes, Surface Pro gives you an additional amount of strength and a slightly bigger screen which will help you create more and more prominent content. As long as you know how to take advantage of it, Surface Go will suit your expectations.

The Surface Pro 3 vs. The Microsoft Surface 3 – Prices, Specs and Features

With Microsoft’s new release, there are now two tablets that form the Surface family. Below we will help you decide which one suits you.

From outside, both tablets look similar, but inside is where it makes the difference. Both have Windows 8.1, can be used with a backlit keys keyboard cover, contain a stylus but…there are differences:

The New Surface 3

  • More affordable at the price of $499 for a 2GB memory and 64GB storage model
  • Quad-core Intel Atom x7 processor
  • 8-inch display with 1920×1280 resolution
  • Battery life up to 10 hours.
  • 1 TB storage in OneDrive
  • One year of Office 365 Personal
  • Pay $49.99 for Surface Pen

This tablet is more likely to compete with Apple’s iPad rather than a laptop.

The Surface Pro 3

  • Full laptop and tablet replacement
  • 12-inch display with 2160×1440 resolution
  • More powerful processor:
  • 64 GB storage, Intel Core i3 (1.5 GHz), 4 GB RAM for $799
  • 128 GB storage, Intel Core i5 (1.9 GHz), 4 GB RAM for $999
  • 256 GB storage, Intel Core i5 (1.9 GHz), 8 GB RAM for $1,149
  • 256 GB storage, Intel Core i7 (1.7 GHz), 8 GB RAM for $1,549
  • 512 GB storage, Intel Core i7 (1.7 GHz), 8 GB RAM for $1,949
  • Surface Pen included
  • Multi-positionable kickstand
  • Battery life of up to 9 hours

Which Surface to Buy

If you want a travel laptop or a tablet, buy Surface Pro. For a laptop which can be used more comfortably, you should choose Surface Pro 3.

The big question, as with choosing any laptop or tablet, is what do you need it for? Although the Surface 3 has the same Windows 8.1 experience as the Surface Pro, its smaller size and less powerful specs might make it better for tablet use or as your travel laptop.
