The new approach of payments for hardware spread over three years at 0% interest, with helpdesk support and secure, end of life disposal was also attractive to buyers for reasons beyond cash flow. 53% said it would help them to maintain and dispose of devices more effectively and 33% agreed it would be a more secure way of disposing of mobile technology.

While I wouldn’t make a Surface Go my primary machine for graphical/video creativity work or demanding tasks—Microsoft acknowledges this is not really its place—it’s still a fine choice for a lean, mean travel companion. The Go fills a niche, is nicely built, and is inexpensive enough to justify its role. Power seekers, though, looking for a main-squeeze detachable 2-in-1 should continue to look at the Editors’ Choice-winning Surface Pro first.

The left edge plays host to the SIM/microSD card slot and a programmable button that can be used to wake the phone or initiate the camera, among other things, with a single push.

Another issue with the GPD is that they are not pushing the screen size down like this device is. In order for it to double as a phone it needs to stay small. If these ARM chips are all we have to look forward to, I’ll hedge my bets on Windows on ARM.

Other features that are missing from Windows 10 S include support for Bitlocker encryption, Device Guard, Remote Desktop, and Group Policy Management. Power users and enterprise customers may miss those features. I suspect most home users won’t even notice they’re missing.

Those willing to overlook said issues will get a more refined design, thinner profile, and what feels like a speedier experience, as the UI is actually optimized for the smaller screen. By the way, the screen is also better, and has a 1280 x 720 resolution.
