Hello All,
So I bought my surface go (8gb / 128 ssd) about a week ago and have been having a great experience with it so far. Been using it a lot at work as a 2nd companion device to my desk top which is painfully slow. I use the surface a lot for web tabs, excel, slack and notes. So far it’s been able to handle everything I’ve thrown at it (well except steam). There are a few things that I don’t like and having a hard time getting past. For one, the battery life is painful. I’m getting 5 hours max on battery saver settings. The usb c port will not charge the surface unless it’s a high wattage charger. I’m also having a hard time getting past those giant bezels..lol. With all that said I don’t have a main computer and at the moment the surface go is all I have when not at work.
After spending $800 plus for the go and all the accessories I’m really close to the price of a pro with an i5 and 8gb ram. I guess I’m trying to decide if I should maybe spend a little more for a pro or stick it out with the go. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
