Microsoft Surface Go 3 review: Keyboard and stylus The Surface Pro 8 (453 nits) and iPad Air (440 nits) get even brighter, while the 372-nit Chromebook Duet maxes out at a dimmer score. The iPad Air 4 (103%) was a hair below and the Chromebook Duet (106%) is a hair above.Īccording to our light gun, the Surface Go 3 maxes out at an average of 402 nits (nearly the same 408-nit rate as the Go 2). Producing 105% of the sRGB spectrum, the Surface Go 3's panel got a similar score as the Go 2 (107%), and a hair above the 104% from the Surface Pro 8. Its bezels are pretty slim, similar to those of the iPad Air 4. Nearly the same panel we saw in the Surface Go 2 (as its scores below suggest). The Surface Go 3’s 10.5-inch PixelSense display measures 1920 x 1280 pixels.

Its slow performance will test your ability to multitask, and often train you to just focus on one thing at once. But once you try and actually get things done on it, you run into a few walls.

The Surface Go 3's best selling points are its strong build quality, as Microsoft keeps it feeling as durable as a regular Surface. Type Cover keyboard: Not included, $99 to $129 extraĬPU: Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y | Intel Core i3-10100Yĭisplay: 10.5-inches (1920 x 1280 pixels)
