Of course, that changes today with a very interesting Best Buy deal on a reasonably well-equipped Go 3 configuration. We’re not talking about an entry-level variant with a modest 4GB RAM count and 64 gigs of sluggish eMMC storage, but a zippy 128GB SSD-packing device that also happens to feature a fairly generous 8 gigs of memory.
Powered by an Intel Pentium Gold processor, the Surface Go 3 is naturally not as impressive as the Pro 8 or Pro 9 as far as raw performance is concerned, but for $399.99, it can definitely get a lot of stuff done. The battery life is similarly… respectable, at up to 11 hours on a single charge, and the PixelSense touchscreen is almost surprisingly bright and sharp albeit predictably stuck with outdated 60Hz refresh rate technology.
