64GB only has 59GB of actual storage, and after Windows and apps you'll be left with 39GB. After deducting the space taken up by Windows and the apps you install, you'll be looking at less than 100GB of usable storage. Note that the actual amount of storage space of a 128GB storage is actually 119GB. I can't imagine the loading time on eMMC. Having said, launching apps still took longer than I expected even with the SSD model. Performance is alright but if you have the budget, definitely get the 128GB SSD storage model. There's this disconnect when you expect tablets to be snappy but it takes longer than expected to load apps and open files. My previous experience with eMMC storage is with the Lenovo Yoga Book (Windows). SSD is significantly faster compared to eMMC and makes booting up, launching applications, loading and saving large files snappy. The main thing to know is the 64GB storage model is using an eMMC drive and the 128GB storage is a SSD drive.

It's difficult to see the value if you're getting it just for creating casual art. When you consider the price and the competition ( iPad 2018), Surface Go is sort of a no-go.

It's not significantly better compared to the Surface Pro 2017 in terms of drawing performance or satisfaction. If you're looking for a lightweight devices for basic computing tasks, it's worth a consideration.Īs a tablet for drawing purposes, it's alright. To give you the bottom line, the Surface Go is a decent portable tablet for general purpose use with functionality greatly enhanced by the Surface Pen and Surface Go Type Cover (both not included and cost US $100 each). How about the iPad 2018 that was released about four months ago? So is the Surface Go better than the Surface 3? It should be. The first thing that came to my mind when the Surface Go was released was to be reminded of the Surface 3 which was released in 2018. Microsoft Surface Go is the latest more portable tablet in the Surface lineup.
