“Globally and in India, it’s encouraging to see the rapidly growing Surface community inboth consumer and enterprise.

A full laptop on the go, and a workstation at your desk

Surface Go offers full versatility that fulfils users’ requirements, regardless of mode. The built-in kickstand, a signature of Surface devices, has a full friction hinge which extends to 165 degrees. The hinge design helps users find the perfect angle for any task: from adjusting the device angle on the plane to pushing the kickstand down to ink on a photo to share with your friends.

Surface Go offers a stunning, custom-built high-resolution PixelSense Display that supports Surface Pen with 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, low pen parallax, low latency and precision for accurate note taking, drawing and computer-aided design.

Pair Surface Go with Surface Go Signature Type Cover and the newSurface Mobile Mouse, and users can experience a full-fledged laptop experience anywhere. The Signature Type Cover is available in Black, plus Platinum, Burgundy, and Cobalt Blue in Alcantara®. It also boasts a full-mechanical keyset, backlit keys, optimum spacing for fast, fluid typing, and an extra-large glass trackpad for precise control and navigation.

For users who prefer a full desktop experience, Surface Dock transforms  Surface Go into a powerful workstation that lets users charge their Surface, while connecting to a full-size keyboard and multiple external monitors.

Sleek, compact and optimized for productivity

Similar to other Surface devices, Surface Go features a custom calibrated 3:2 display. In portrait mode, the screen is designed to render the page to the scale of most textbooks; and in landscape mode, it can render pages side by side as if one was reading a paperback book. The 10-inch design makes Surface Go a much more compact and convenient size for daily consumption and creation – whether by ink or keyboard and mouse.

For users who require connectivity via video calls, Surface Go features a 5.0-megapixel HD camera and rear auto-focus 8.0-megapixel HD camera, along with dual microphones to help make crisp, clear video calls via Skype.
