With the Surface Pro 8, Microsoft continues the trend of Microsoft setting the bar for the 2-in-1 market. The Surface Pro 8 is arguably the most iconic Surface in the lineup, and its latest update solidifies that. Battery life should be enough to get through a day of meetings or classes, but you’ll need to top up the battery if you plan on using it later in the day. The Surface Go 3 is a lightweight, portable 2-in-1 that is convenient to tuck into nearly any bag. Performance was still the same post-S mode, but we gained the ability to install programs from anywhere, which is a big win. It only takes pressing a couple of buttons and you’ll unlock the full Windows 11 experience. You’ll want to almost immediately disable Windows 11S mode, a streamlined version of Windows that limits app installs to only the Microsoft Store, after setting up the Go 3. The Go Type Cover keyboard will set you back around $100, but you can find them on sale for around $70 if you look hard enough. With optional keyboard and pen support, you can convert the Go 3 from a svelte-looking tablet to a miniature laptop with some serious netbook vibes. A 10.5-inch display and an overall weight of just 1.2 pounds for the tablet portion make it easy to move around the house with, or pick up and take to class. The Go 3 offers portability, thanks to its compact size that is ideal for someone working from home or a student. It’s powered by an Intel Core i3, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage. For $630, you can get a Surface Go 3 with more than enough to power through Excel spreadsheets while triaging your email inbox and dealing with Slack messages from co-workers. We won’t recommend getting the base model Go 3, though, simply because performance will be something it struggles with, especially if you’re multitasking or doing the occasional minor photo edit. The Go 3 is ideal for someone who needs a basic computer for simple tasks like online shopping, checking your email or watching your favorite YouTube creators. For that price, you get a tablet with a built-in kickstand and internal components that are just good enough. Part tablet and part laptop, it has a starting price of $399.99. The Surface Go 3 is by far the smallest and most affordable Surface device in the lineup. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
