ProBeat: Look beneath the Surface Go

Reviews of Microsoft’s Surface Go came out yesterday, and the results were mixed. There are a few reasons why that isn’t bad news for Microsoft, but the main explanation comes down to the company’s Surface strategy.

To summarize all the reviews: If you’re looking for a small laptop-tablet hybrid, the Surface Go is a serious contender, even if you must pay more than the starting $399 price tag. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find something cheaper, more powerful, or more to your liking. And that’s fine — Microsoft did not set out to create a device that caters to everyone.
