But changing the chip would not only annoy Microsoft's great mate Intel, it would limit it in other ways: after all, this is a full PC you can install desktop apps on (if you take Windows 10 out of S Mode). Surface Go could have smaller bezels, it could have a lot better battery life, and it probably could be leaner with an ARM-based processor. It has all the successful hallmarks of Surface and, while the additional costs of the keyboard and pen are annoying for your bank balace, they're integral to how you should think about using this device (especially the former). Emailing, taking notes in a meeting, and watching a bit of iPlayer on the train on the way home. Instead, it's a super-portable machine for doing bits and pieces on the go. The Surface Go isn't a do-anything device like the Surface Book 2 - and neither should you expect it to be given the price difference between the two. On balance, then, is the Surface Go the affordable, portable 2-in-1 champion that it purports to be?
