14 DAY TRIAL // In addition to the Surface Duo 2 and the Surface Pro 8, the Surface Go 3 is also expected to see the daylight this week at Microsoft’s hardware event, again with notable improvements under the hood.
While the Surface Pro 8 will go most likely go for a new more modern design, with smaller bezels and an increased screen estate, the refreshed Surface Go will stick with the current appearance, so the same painfully large bezels will live on for at least one more generation.
And according to information published by WinFuture, the Surface Go 3 will come with important upgrades under the hood, though it’s pretty clear Microsoft still wants to position this device as an entry-level model specifically to be offered at a lower price point.
Surface Go 3 specifications
First and foremost, the Surface Go 3 will be offered with a choice of two processors depending on the version you choose. The first of them will be the Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y, while the more powerful model will be powered by an Intel Core i3-10100Y.
The maximum amount of RAM (on the i3 version) will be 8 GB, while for storage, you can go as high as 128GB SSD. However, the base model comes with 64GB eMMC storage.
The graphics processor is an Intel UHD Graphics 615 chip, with the Surface Go 3 to also offer USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi, a 3.5mm audio port, and a microSD card slot. The screen will measure 10.5 inches and will offer a resolution of 1920x1080 with a 3:2 aspect ratio.
Needless to say, Windows 11 will be pre-loaded on the device, though it’ll run in the S mode. Users will still be allowed to upgrade to the full version of Windows 11, most likely at no extra charge.
