Surface Go features
Here are a few highlights to get you going with Surface Go.
Built with portability in mind
Surface Go is slim and light, so it’s easy to take wherever you go—work, school, home, and places in between. With a 10” PixelSense™ display and weighing just 1.15 pounds (without the Type Cover), you don’t have to think about where you’ll put it when you’re on the go. Surface Go fits easily in your bag without weighing you down.
Made for handwriting
Take notes in your own handwriting and keep them organized. By using Surface Pen and OneNote with Surface Go, you can keep your notes organized for the different parts of your life—whether it’s for work, school, or personal. (Surface Pen is sold separately.)
Get things done with Windows, Microsoft Office, and OneDrive
Get more done with Microsoft Office. It includes the apps you need to do your best work, like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. And OneDrive is included, so your content is safe and easy to get to in the cloud. Windows 10 Home in S mode helps to keep your Surface running fast and more secure.
