Microsoft’s Surface lineup is all about high-end devices, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they all have to be super-expensive.

And the Surface Go has always been the living proof in this regard, as this smaller computer sports the high-quality build of the Surface brand but all in a cheaper form factor, therefore becoming just the perfect choice for students and teachers.

And today, the Surface Go 3 is official with a new processor that brings more extra power, as the device now comes with an Intel i3 chip.

Microsoft says this makes the Surface Go some 60 percent faster, and this is obviously good news, especially in the case of users who don’t want to stick with the S mode but want the full Windows experience.

Microsoft explains the Surface Go 3 is fully prepared for Windows 11, so it will come with the new operating system pre-loaded.

Wi-Fi version already up for pre-order

“The most portable Surface 2-in-1 is perfect for your everyday tasks, homework and play. Designed to light up the best of Windows 11, Surface Go 3 is 60% faster with an Intel Core i3 processor. This product brings optional LTE Advanced, all-day battery, built-in Microsoft security, and is optimized for tablet-to-laptop versatility with digital Pen and touch,” Microsoft says.

“Starting at just 1.2 pounds and featuring 1080p cameras, best-in-class studio microphones, Dolby Audio, and a 10.5” touch display – Go 3 is the perfect device to connect, collaborate and play from anywhere.”

The new Surface Go 3 can already be pre-ordered by customers in the United States and a few other countries, though for now, only the Wi-Fi version is available. The pricing of this particular configuration starts at $399.99. There’s no ETA as to when the LTE version is projected to launch, but Microsoft says its debut will happen in the coming months.
