Review on Renewed Microsoft Surface Go Win 10 Professional JTS-00001-10 - Pentium Gold, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD: Affordable and Efficient by Seth Gibbons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is a great tablet. However, be aware that what you see is not what you get!

First I want to tell you that the Surface Go is really cool. I've only had him for a week. Works quickly out of the box. This is the perfect size. It's lightweight and with the Surface Keyboard you have a great case and a full-featured laptop. In fact, it's that good. It's so good, in fact, that I've loaded almost all of the software I have onto my Surface 5 and the Go hasn't slowed down one bit. I am very happy with it and recommend it. Another point, Go runs on Windows 10. I bought the 10 Pro model. This is a big plus for several reasons. Below that is the memory access. The Go I bought has 128 gigabytes of RAM, which is more than enough to install and run all my Windows applications. However, there is always not enough space for all my document files. My solution was to buy a 256GB SD card. Now I have plenty of memory and I'm not experiencing any performance degradation. Android tablets do NOT do this. Yes, they can save history files. However, you don't have much control over this location. Until Android allows SD storage to act as a virtual drive (like it used to) this will be a deal killer for people like me who want/need lots of space for documents. Now for the buyer beware part of my review. This item is repeatedly attached to the keyboard by the seller, and the stylus is also shown. This indicates that I bought all 3 items. You are not! You only buy one tablet. In very small print, barely legible on my phone, the photos say that the keyboard and pen are not included in the price. This is clearly false and misleading advertising. I contacted the seller about this problem. A response came that the disclaimer was there. Finally, the sad thing is that this seller offers a great product at a very competitive price. However, they feel compelled to make their business look better than it really is and make no apologies for it. To be honest, I wish Revane would be more aggressive in pursuing these actions. I'm a HUGE fan of Revain because I believe they will support me as a buyer of items on their site. In this case, while I wasn't ripped off, I am disappointed with Revain and still very upset that this seller continues to advertise in an obviously misleading way.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • I won't say anything
