A 10.5-inch display and an overall weight of just 1.2 pounds for the tablet portion make it easy to move around the house with, or pick up and take to class. The Go 3 offers portability, thanks to its compact size that is ideal for someone working from home or a student. It’s powered by an Intel Core i3, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage. For $630, you can get a Surface Go 3 with more than enough to power through Excel spreadsheets while triaging your email inbox and dealing with Slack messages from co-workers.

We won’t recommend getting the base model Go 3, though, simply because performance will be something it struggles with, especially if you’re multitasking or doing the occasional minor photo edit. The Go 3 is ideal for someone who needs a basic computer for simple tasks like online shopping, checking your email or watching your favorite YouTube creators. For that price, you get a tablet with a built-in kickstand and internal components that are just good enough. Part tablet and part laptop, it has a starting price of $399.99. The Surface Go 3 is by far the smallest and most affordable Surface device in the lineup. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
