The Surface Go is by no means supposed to be a productivity workhorse but it’s a great device to watch movies, perform general tasks like web browsing, programming, creativity, editing documents and playing average games such as Asphalt. It pretty much does everything you can expect a 2-in-1 Windows 10 device to do.
Surface Go uses Intel 4415Y processor and features either 4GB or 8GB RAM, depending on the configuration that you order from Flipkart.
Microsoft’s affordable Windows 10 device can run for up to 9 hours per charge but the battery life can vary depending on what you do with the device.
