Even though the Microsoft Surface Go 3 has a colorful screen and a solid design, it is hard to recommend it because of performance and battery problems. We would rather have a Surface Go 2 than this new one.

Microsoft’s Surface Go 3 is the best budget Windows 2-in-1 tablet, but its performance and value are a bit below expectations for a third-generation product that competes against Chromebooks and the Apple iPad.

Microsoft’s tiniest Surface tablet got a small update, but it’s a step backward. Battery life is worse while the price is too high. It’s a computer begging for an Arm chip but stuck on Intel.

The Surface Go 3 has had a nice performance boost over its predecessor, but the meaningful upgrades end there. Compared to Microsoft’s premium 2-in-1s, there’s a lot you’re missing out on.

The Surface Go 3 might be the most affordable Surface product, but the low power, short battery life and thick bezels expose why it’s so cheap. It does have the best webcam at this price, which means it’s a great choice for anyone that has a lot of video calls. But most people will be better served by a Chromebook.

La Surface Go 3 nos ha demostrado que ahora cuenta con un incremento sustancial de rendimiento con respecto a su predecesor, pero las actualizaciones más significativas terminan ahí. Frente al resto de modelos Surface más premium, hay muchas cosas que te perderás.
