Many technology brands are creating tablets that can function as laptop-like devices to accommodate the increasingly mobile consumer lifestyle, which is likely the driving force behind the new Microsoft Surface Go.
Unveiled as a cost-effective option from the tech brand, the two-in-one tablet is the lightest and smallest option ever created to put a focus on enhanced portability. The device has no integrated fan, weighs just 1.15 pounds and can be used with the Signature Type Cover to transform it into a functional laptop alternative.
The Microsoft Surface Go two-in-one tablet will come in a WiFi-only model as well as an LTE variation to offer consumers connectivity based on their needs and will be available in the coming weeks around the world.
