(With any detachable, that is the price you pay for full detachability.) In fact, it's roughly the same thickness as its full-size counterpart, the 0.33-inch-thick Surface Pro.

Is thinness won't wow you-being as slim as possible isn't really possible here, as there's a lot of hardware to fit behind just a display. It's not the first Windows 10 tablet, by any means, but it does come off as one of the nicest and most fully featured. (As a point of comparison for the design, it feels a bit like holding a squarer Nintendo Switch in its size and build.) The main tablet measures 0.33 by 9.6 by 6.98 inches (HWD) and weighs just 1.15 pounds, a highly portable slate made of quality magnesium and just a few feathers above the weight of that 1-pound tablet icon, the Apple iPad (2017). The Surface Go is, like the Surface Pro, just a Windows tablet at heart, with optional accessories such as a keyboard cover turning it into a laptop, if you like. It apes the established aesthetic and feel of the larger flagship device, with everything just sized down. While it may sound silly, picture the Surface Go as a Surface Pro that's been put in the clothes dryer a bit too long. Though performance isn't particularly speedy, the Surface Go (starts at $399 $549 as tested) is a great mobile companion for less-demanding work, a natural fit for travelers, and an inexpensive option for classrooms. Most of what's familiar about the Pro is here (its design cues, sharp touch display, and built-in kickstand), just with more modest internal components. Microsoft is now taking the Surface concept smaller with the Surface Go, a 10-inch Windows tablet that's a shrunken-down version of the Surface Pro. Indeed, Surfaces have defined what makes for a visually-and functionally-exceptional laptop/tablet detachable. Over the years, Microsoft's Surface line has inspired a host of imitators in the convertible 2-in-1 market.
