Accessories

The Surface Go 3 is the third generation model of the Surface Go series of devices, introduced as the successor to the Surface Go 2 by Microsoft at their Surface Event on September 22, 2021.[1] It was announced by the company alongside the Surface Laptop Studio, Surface Pro 8, Surface Duo 2 and many Surface accessories.[2] The tablet has the same body, the same set of cameras and speakers, the same ports, and the same dimensions as its predecessor; the main enhancement is a range of more powerful processors.[1] The tablet is powered by the Windows 11 operating system.

Hardware

[edit | edit source]

The Surface Go 3 is the 6th addition to the lightweight 2-in-1 Surface lineup. The Surface Go 3 is aimed toward children and students.[6] The tablet features the same magnesium alloy chassis and screen size as its predecessor. It has one of two fanless dual-core Amber Lake-Y microarchitecture processors, the Intel Core i3-10100Y or Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y. The 6500Y is 60% faster than the previous 4425Y in the Surface Go 2. The device has a USB C port supporting power delivery and a Surface Connect port. The front-facing camera assembly has an infrared sensor that supports login via Windows Hello.

A detachable keyboard uses an 8-pin connection which is compatible with the previous Surface Go models and retails at $99.

Software

[edit | edit source]

Surface Go 3 is powered by Windows 11 Home in S Mode by default with a 30-day trial of Microsoft 365; however, this can be opted out of and upgraded to Home for free or Pro for a fee.

The device also supports Windows Hello login using a biometric facial recognition.[1]
