Microsoft has apparently determined to make the Surface Go line of tiny tablets a purely enterprise machine, asserting the Surface Go 4 for Business however and not using a client choice. What’s new? The lack of Arm choices and a brand new Intel processor.

Intel Microsoft didn’t reveal a beginning value for the Surface Go 4 for Business, which it is going to promote through company channels. Businesses can even have the choice of including an enormous Surface as an alternative, as Microsoft introduced the Surface Hub 3 as properly, for conferences rooms. Again, no value was disclosed.

Microsoft up to date three of its Surface laptops with new parts at its fall occasion on Thursday, including the Surface Laptop Studio 2, the Surface Laptop Go 3, and the Surface Go 4 for Business to fill varied niches in its lineup.

The largest change to the Surface Go 4 is the brand new Intel N200 processor. Because of its comparatively low value, we assume that the Surface Go sells fairly properly. The drawback is that the Surface Go 3, which our Surface Go 3 review felt was adequate, started with a $399 price ticket for a mannequin with 4GB of RAM. That eradicated it from our suggestions, and pushed the worth as much as the $629 tier with 8GB of RAM.

Now, Microsoft has at the very least executed away with the 4GB choice, nonetheless leaving the ten.5-inch pill (1920×1280) just about unchanged from the sooner Surface Go 3. The dimensions (9.65 x 6.9 x 0.33 inches and 1.2 kilos) stay the identical, with the identical USB-C, microSD, and ports complementing the Surface Connect port and three.5mm jack.

The Go 4 was rumored to proceed the development of repairable Surfaces, with a replaceable battery, show, kickstand, and motherboard. We’re blissful to see that’s true. But the fudamental drawback stays: This is a fundamental Windows pill that requires the acquisition of an extra keyboard and presumably a pen to make it actually helpful.
