This isnt built to be a graphics editing, gaming powerhouse. It's just a bit better than the first one. The Surface Go uses a fanless Pentium Gold CPU, which is more than twice as powerful as the Surface 3 (non-Pro) of yesteryear. It's still a lightweight, portable tablet/laptop 2-in-1. The next generation featuring a more powerful processor will come as a welcome decision, but with Core m3 inside, it's clear this is still not designed to be anyone's heavy-lifting machine. When Microsoft first launched the Surface Go in 2018, its purpose was to create a versatile go-anywhere machine that was either a second, backup portable machine or a lightweight alternative to a table that runs Windows.Įssentially, it is to this latest generation of 2-in-1's what the netbook was to laptops pre-2010 (kind of). That means double the storage of the first series of Surface Go machines.Īll of these specs were leaked by known tipster, '_rogame' on Twitter. The Pentium Gold model is rumoured to feature the 4425Y processor.Īs well as that, it's claimed the Core m3 tablet wil feature 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD storage, with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage on the lower power Pentium Gold version. Specifically, it's said to be the Core m3-8100Y, and might be paired with an LTE option as well for true go-anywhere capabilities.
