The Surface Go is, like the Surface Pro, just a Windows tablet at heart, with optional accessories such as a keyboard cover turning it into a laptop, if you like. It apes the established aesthetic and feel of the larger flagship device, with everything just sized down. While it may sound silly, picture the Surface Go as a Surface Pro that's been put in the clothes dryer a bit too long. Though performance isn't particularly speedy, the Surface Go (starts at $399 $549 as tested) is a great mobile companion for less-demanding work, a natural fit for travelers, and an inexpensive option for classrooms. Most of what's familiar about the Pro is here (its design cues, sharp touch display, and built-in kickstand), just with more modest internal components. Microsoft is now taking the Surface concept smaller with the Surface Go, a 10-inch Windows tablet that's a shrunken-down version of the Surface Pro. Indeed, Surfaces have defined what makes for a visually-and functionally-exceptional laptop/tablet detachable.

Over the years, Microsoft's Surface line has inspired a host of imitators in the convertible 2-in-1 market.
