With the special Surface event just around the corner, signs point to the Microsoft Surface Go 4 making an appearance. Will the line recover from the badly-received Surface Go 3?
If you were to ask those in the know, they’ll tell you that the Microsoft Surface Go 4 is pretty much a sure thing when Microsoft launches new devices at its upcoming „special Surface event“ on September 21, along with the Surface Pro 10.
While you should still take that with a grain of salt, it does seem like an obvious move for Microsoft. After all, the Microsoft Surface Go 3 did launch on September 22, 2021, and after its not-so-favorable reviews, it makes sense for the manufacturer to seek redemption.
The Microsoft Surface Go device has never really reached the heights of the best 2-in-1 laptops and best touchscreen laptops on the market, due mostly to the low-end components under the hood. However, 2020’s Microsoft Surface Go 2 still proved to be a great affordable Windows 10 option for users who don’t need a lot of power and appreciate having to save money on their laptop.
Sadly, its successor, the Microsoft Surface Go 3 just couldn’t keep up with the competition due to its low power and short battery life. The Microsoft Surface Go 4 is, therefore, the perfect opportunity for Microsoft to prove that it is capable of making a 2-in-1 device that’s both affordable and reliable, if not one of the best Windows tablets. And with Microsoft postponing the launch of its ARM-based Surface Go and rumors pointing to an Intel-powered model instead, it’s looking promising for the somewhat cursed line.
Will a better and much-improved Surface Go show up at the event? More importantly, can it actually keep up with the rest of the offerings from other brands? We have to wait for Microsoft’s event to know for sure, but if you’re a fan of the line or curious about what’s to come, we’ve got the details for you below.Microsoft Surface Go 4: cut to the chase
