Reviews for the Microsoft Surface Go 4

60% Microsoft Surface Go 4 review: This new iteration is not built for creatives
Source: Creative Bloq
The Surface Go 4 hasn’t really moved on from its predecessor. Sure, it has a new processor and a different type of storage, but neither amount to any serious improvements in performance. The lack of any substantial power makes it unworkable as a laptop for almost all creatives and the clunky Windows interface lets down an otherwise great design. Microsoft has gone big on improvements for business users but that does nothing to provide a device that will bring joy to most of the creative world.

Microsoft Surface Go 4 preview: Taking care of business
Source: Expert Reviews
All in all, the Surface Go 4 looks to be something of a mixed bag. It certainly sounds as though Microsoft has taken feedback on board regarding the lacklustre performance of the Surface Go 3 and made real attempts to offer a nippier experience this time around. Until we see pricing, however, it’s impossible to know whether or not these changes will represent good value for money. We’ll be putting the Surface Go 4 through the gauntlet of our review process soon enough, though, so be sure check back in with Expert Reviews to see if this could be the right laptop for your workplace.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Microsoft:

Microsoft smartphones and tablets have been tested since 2012. There are many reviews with average ratings. The reader's interest is quite given, but the market share is not big enough for the Top 5 smartphone manufacturers (as of 2016).

62.5%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
