Verdict

The Microsoft Surface Go 4 (8GB + 128GB) is an ultra-portable 2-in-1 tablet featuring a 10.5-inch PixelSense touchscreen with 1920 x 1280 resolution, an Intel N200 quad-core processor, 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 128GB of UFS storage. Main characteristics include its lightweight magnesium alloy chassis weighing just 521g, a built-in 165-degree kickstand, and a full Windows 11 Pro experience. Key pros are its premium build quality, silent fanless design, sharp 3:2 aspect ratio display, and enhanced repairability for components like the battery and screen. However, notable cons include lackluster processing power for demanding tasks, the use of slower UFS storage compared to standard SSDs, a limited selection of ports with only one USB-C, and the high additional cost of essential accessories like the Type Cover and Surface Pen.
