Microsoft also leaves the display untouched and even installs the same panel (NV105WAM-N31) with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,280 pixels in 3:2 format. An LTE module is also available for business customers.

A new feature is the additional IR camera, which now also supports facial recognition with Windows Hello. In terms of webcams, the Surface Go 3 has clear advantages over most notebooks because the image quality of the two built-in sensors (5 MP and 8 MP) is simply visibly better. The WLAN performance is very good and there is still a microSD card reader. Of course, the keys are relatively small due to the compact device, but the typing feel is crisp and precise.īesides the USB-C connector, which can also be used for charging, Microsoft still relies on its own Surface Connector, which is often a bit annoying in practice due to its orientation (cable either sticks upwards or hangs around the keyboard).

However, we still like the illuminated keyboard. The red Alcantara cover of our review sample costs another 129 Euros (~$150). The magnesium casing is very sturdy and the various optional keyboard covers allow for a certain degree of customization. The case of the Surface Go has not been changed and still convinces with the high-quality workmanship.
