It’s also nearly double the price of the Pentium-powered Surface Go 2 base model, which is equipped with a measly 64GB of eMMC storage and 4GB of RAM, and lacks LTE connectivity. That’s $170 more than an LTE-equipped Apple iPad with 128GB of storage. These upgrades come at a considerable expense, pushing the price of our review unit to $729.99. While you can hold the Surface Go 2 in two hands with ease, a nifty integrated kickstand at the back pops out for propping up the tablet on a flat surface. The entire front of the device is a 10.5-inch touch screen, and the ports, the power button, and a volume rocker are scattered around the edges. It’s a rectangular tablet that measures 0.33 by 9.7 by 6.9 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.2 pounds. The Surface Go 2 follows the same basic design principles of many of the preceding Surface models, including the latest, the Surface Pro 7. Microsoft has been making Windows tablets for many years under the Surface brand. It easily earns our Editors' Choice for best midrange Windows tablet. While it’s certainly not cheap, the Surface Go 2 is more capable than an iPad and more versatile than a traditional laptop. Key improvements include better battery life, a slightly bigger display that results in a sleeker look, and more computing performance. The Surface Go 2 (starts at $399.99 $729.99 as tested) is a worthy competitor to both conventional laptops and the Apple iPad in ways that its 2018 predecessor is not. The second iteration of Microsoft’s tablet PC for the masses is vastly improved and one of the best midrange Windows tablets we’ve tested in years.
