Microsoft Surface Go (Intel Pentium Gold, 8GB RAM, 128GB) (Renewed)

If you want Windows on a beater tablet in the year 2025 this is the way to go. You absolutely want 8 GB of ram and the Core M3 chip to get a half way fluid desktop experience. The 4gb and Pentium gold version functions but it chokes so much even webbrowsing while downloading updates is janky and that makes it hard to use as a "normal computer". 128 GB is really also what you need as the 64gb version will have so much space taken up by windows, windows install files and hybernation files you will have to constantly juggle things to store more than a dozen GB unless you use a Microsoft card.Disable the fancy visual effects and it's just a very solid experience. Battery life is solid and the built in kickstand works great. Is it/should it be stuck with Windows 10? Yes, basically, but that's fine for the near future. If you have fixed needs this is just wonderfully "good enough"

I do enjoy it, it’s good quality! The screen is good! It functions wonderfully! There is a tiny bit of residue on one of the corners but I don’t really care as long as it functions and is good that’s all I care about - I bought the pen! (As it says it doesn’t come with a pen or a keyboard!)

The was a nice looking unit but when trying to set it up the touch screen was not willing to listen. It kept double touching and not even working when hitting the next button or continue buttons to finish set up. Ended up using the virtual keyboard to tab select just to get past all that and even after finally setting up I couldn't use the unit to even pull up specific programs or tabs. Pretty much looked nice wasn't functional without a keyboard which It doesn't come with. Def needs testing or better packaging before sending off. Also charger was damaged before I even opened the bag it came in.

The computer was in nearly new condition. Worked as advertised. I am happy with the device and the sale. Customer service was less than stellar. Would buy from seller again.

Works great, but had to do a lot of updates before the Bluetooth and several other functions would work.

I used to have the original Surface Go and I was happy with it. The size, being really small and light, was very important for me, but the battery of the original Surface wasn't great.Looking for a replacement, I estimated that Go 2 was better value than Go 3 and the LTE edition was preferable as my original Go also had the LTE option.After some additional research I decided to try a renewed Surface Go 2.The tablet came in a brown box, but tailored made for it. It was looking like new - not a sign of previous usage. It came with Windows 10 pro which I upgraded to Windows 11.Very pleasant surprise.The battery life seems to be similar to that of a new tablet - I have expected more autonomy, but it's fine as is.Very good value for a Go 2 LTE.

It looks great but I couldn’t realize it was wrong

The original was unheard of - giving you amazing screen resolution on such an inexpensive device. However the low RAM and weak CPU meant it couldn't even keep up with the on-screen keyboard when you were typing. I don't want to mention the other things that went wrong with simple OS operations that should take 30 seconds ending up leaving me stuck for 20 minutes or more. I am running Windows 11 on this sucker doing the exact same workload, and it immediately fixed EVERY SINGLE COMPLAINT I had with the Go 1. The RAM and i3 CPU were what was badly needed! Now it's perfect. This is my robbery computer I carry to coffee shops in Colombia. If a thief ever takes it, he'll regret risking prison for something worth $100 resale max instead of robbing a young lady with a iPhone model worth far, far more.
