The Microsoft Surface Go isn’t just the most affordable Surface product you can buy, it’s also one of the best tablets on the market. And now, it’s even cheaper thanks to a killer Black Friday deal. That’s a darn good deal considering the Windows 10 tablet first went on sale in August of this year. This is the second lowest price we’ve seen the tablet priced at (the Surface Go dropped to $339 in August). The Surface Go’s standout feature is a bright and vibrant display. Capable of reproducing 129 percent of the sRGB color gamut, the Surface Go’s display is more colorful than those on many premium laptops, including the $1,799 MacBook Pro and the $999 12-inch iPad Pro. The display also reached a maximum of 415 nits, outshining the average budget laptop average (245 nits). The Surface Go’s performance won’t blow you away — we found the processor to be slightly underpowered — but it is more than capable of running multiple browser tabs, playing full-HD videos, and loading up your social media pages. In fact, in our review, Laptop Mag Editor-in-Chief Mark Spoonauer said the Surface Go “felt speedy in my everyday use.” He was also a big fan of the $99 Type Cover, the Surface Go’s backlit keyboard accessory. With 0.9 millimeters of travel, the keys are some of the most comfortable you’ll find on a detachable 2-in-1. Better yet, the Type Cover has a responsive touchpad, a rarity on this sort of device. The Surface Go makes for an excellent secondary device or primary travel tablet. While its battery life — around 6 hours — is short, the wonderfully compact tablet feels sturdy, so you don’t have to worry about slipping it into a backpack and taking it on trips. Note, this Surface Go deal does not include the optional keyboard and stylus. Still, $350 is a heck of a price for anyone who wants a capable tablet that won’t break the bank.
