Since these are targeted at students, let me tell you. I've been using the iPad for about 3 semesters now, and iOS is a nightmare for files downloading, storing, organizing like pdfs, docs, videos, etc. You can't directly download files on safari, and when you do, the files app is utterly useless. I cant count how many times i wish i could've just click download then drag-dropped to organize files and folders. If you're use-case is just youtube, social apps and web browsing, you can get away with the iPad. But if you need to do actual productivity, consider a different product.

Sounds like you need an android/Windows tablet. Not sure why you would buy an iPad when you already knew that file management isn’t baked into the OS well. Nothing against the iPad(it’s still my favorite tablet) but it’s pretty dumb to buy it for storing files which is damn near the opposite of what iOS is for before ios8 files update.

Comparisons works a lot better if you give the type of user... A) A non-technical couch surfer. iPad if fine and less expensive. B) A mobile business user who takes notes at a meeting. iPad can't connect to a domain and probably can't run many of the corporate applications. C) A lower-budget student who does class notes and then light productivity in his room. Go is likely a better choice especially that it can connect to an external monitor and is powerful enough for writing reports, excel, and other productivity apps. D) An artist needing a small device. You can argue. In most cases, a full 12" Surface is probably a better drawing environment, but assuming you really need a 10" device... Go's pen and applications are pretty good, but many graphic artists use Mac/Apple software. Saying the Go is underpowered is comparing apples and oranges. None of its primary tasks as likely to have issues with the processor and it is certainly better than anything else in the 10" space. Gaming, video editing, database work, etc. isn't going to be done on any 10" device and even large, heavy, $1500 laptop struggles vs. a $500 desktop from three years ago.

+Wenceslao… In your opinion. I've already said one can argue and that on the desktop, many graphic artists use Macs. However, iPad Pros are larger than 10" and pushing twice the price. If you aren't limiting it by size/price... most sites rate other drawing tablets higher. Wacom rules the higher-end/professional market, Surfaces and other 2-in-1 Windows machines score high with photographers since an i5/i7 can run photo-editing and/or business software, and there are a lot of mid-low ranged devices (XP Pen, Huion, plus the Galaxy/Android devices). By no means is the iPad Pro a win hands down. Not for most artists. At the $399 price... the Go is pretty much it. At $599, you can fight it out with a dozen alternatives.

I already have 2 Windows 10 computers, my primary device being a full desktop power machine. I also have a Surface Pro. I bought the Surface Go 128/8 with cobalt blue pen and type cover to be a small, light device to easily pick up and go anywhere when I want to do email, Word, OneNote and web stuff when out and about. At the breakfast table it's an outstanding device to use for morning email and web news. It perfectly fits the niche this Windows 10 user wanted to fill. For what I do I require a full Windows 10 computer that works in sync with all my devices. For how I use it, battery life has not been an issue. For the things I use it for, I don't feel a difference in speed from any of my other machines. I love my Surface Go but for me it's definitely a niche device and there is no way it could be my only computer. I've had it for over two weeks and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!

I’m a hardcore Apple guy. Took back an iPad Pro and bought the Surface Go. The Surface Go is so much more flexible in so many aspects.... networking... saving files locally... better print support. The BIGGEST plus for the Surface Go is the fact that you have multiple users. A whole family can use it. Guests can use it. The iPad is designed to be a single user device. You can’t have multiple user profiles. That makes the iPad a loser in my books. The value add of having multiple user profiles is a huge huge huge advantage for the Go.

It runs smooth like the new note phones and comes in a variety with* more features but it won't perform as well when it comes to high demand video editing vs ipad but as a student who takes notes, transfers files, wants the best compatibility and price it's the best. Surface Pro has a good idea but the problem is the software, the hardware can be superb and very expensive but it lacks decent software. Ipad on the other hand is reliable and quick but it's horrible for multitasking the apps are okay, many people think iPad have the best pen apps they're wrong there are many FREE apps for the S4 that are great.

Short term use - Surface, for Long term - iPad I have been using iPad for 7 years and Surface Pro for 2 years. Pros & Cons of each device is apparent so it really depends on your need. Surface - Good functionality that can replace your laptop supported by many strong Windows applications. But build quality is inferior to iPad - not much different from other laptops you may have been using. If you expect premium quality, don’t buy this. I already started to replacing my 2 year old Surface Pro due to many quality issues. IPad - Long sustaining quality product. My 7 year old iPad is still working very nice and cannot tell it’s an old version from the outlook. However, your application will be quite limited to tablet experience - everything you can get is from App Store. Good for basic web browsing and watching video.

During the 9 plus hours I downloaded several apps, including Google Chrome- which I just deleted, and I watched a Windows version of KZitem for three hours. WiFi was running the entire time. I had the battery saver on the entire time and screen brightness was slightly under 50%. I was so concerned about not getting a full day’s usage. But 9 hour is ok. My iPad runs about 11 hours, but it doesn’t do very much in comparison to the Surface Go.

But for people who want a fully featured OS and and a PC experience in the form factor of a tablet, this might be better. A 13" laptop in this price range will likely be much bulkier and uglier with inferior build quality. I'm tossing up between switching to the Go from a 2yr old ipad for work because I would much rather use a touchpad than constantly have to touch the screen or home button to navigate around the device, especially as my work involves a lot of highlighting and copy/paste. All I need to do is multimedia, email, web surfing and use MS Office, and this is perfect for that. If only the battery lasts at least 6-7 hours I'd pull the trigger, but most of the reviews I've seen report about 4-5hrs of use.

If that's the case, you are probably better off shopping for an older discounted surface pro model or another device like the HP Elitex2 (which my school is using), which offers better specs and performance all around. I do agree that for office use and google docs, a desktop OS is still better, but Microsoft seems to have made a ton of compromises in order to get the price of the Surface Go down and I can't really recommend it to anyone. At least the iPad has a mobile OS and run mobile apps to ensure smooth performance despite its weaker specs (on paper).

From what I see in this video, the surface go is good at drawing with it's own stylus, as well.

This is kind of like comparing a "brushed" quad copter drone to a brushless drone. Yeah, they both fly.. but which has the higher feature set? Surface Go if I was in the market for a tablet.

Onboard keyboards on non-Apple products don't work as well. The keyboard that comes or you can get with the Surface is great.

I bought a Surface Pro 3 at launch (top spec). Great size. Battery life was not close to specifications. Hated Windows - after 3 years of MacOS. My only two machines are a iphoneX and 12” iPad Pro..... no need for anything else.

You just told 18k people that free office in 10 inch and below does not apply on Surface Go. That is wrong. Office is free on this, what's you don;t know is that that policy is never about desktop Office, that policy is about Office mobile. Fully featured Office is the biggest software in the world, so it'd be hard to offer free. If you install Office Mobile, it will be free to use (as you will have edit privilege).

im looking for a device for college and been thinking between these 2 or maybe a surface pro 4 or 5 . I would use it for note taking mostly and to record the lectures (not video only sound) and media consumption and rarely mini games. I dont /cant buy new stuff so i found these options: i have the opportunity to buy the ipad 9.7 128 Gb which is used but has 1 month guarantee and a pen and a cover for 370 euro or Surface go 8gb 128 gm new with 2 years guarantee for 417 euro. (i can buy surface pro 4 or 5 for a similar price as the go but they are scratchy and used) Thanks for the help or if you share your experiences

To me Ipad is more like for fun (games, utube, browsing) but go really goes for work (office, adobe, etc). In a whole aspect surely go covers more needs but the price is also higher than ipad. But for gaming device people would go better for Apple's since go processor is a no no for gaming

You're doing something wrong if you have a delay when using the soft-keys on the GO. And the iPad is NOT a "computer" in the same class as the GO, it's a "Tablet", a step down from the Surface.

Microsoft is going to have a tough time getting into the school market. Most schools use Chromebooks and IPads. Both of these are extremely easy to use. I do see a steeper learning curve with the surface go. It may not be much to an adult but for younger students it is.

Since Windows is far more standard in business and office environments, and programs like Word and Excel are the standards, it is better to get them experience on a full computer and OS. Get your first job in an office and only have experience using an iPad and you're going to struggle.

If the iPad could be switched to MacOS I would do it. Most people who buy the surface go will immediately flip it to windows home and install chrome. It’s a feature of the device.

I think it's a great tablet UI. The only time I've noticed lack of tablet optimization in using the Chrome browser. Google obviously don't want to support Windows tablets so they haven't adapted it. It still works perfectly well in touch, and some features like swiping from the left to go back a page work, but when you right (long) click to bring up the right click options on Chrome they're small and you need a delicate touch to tap the right one. On Edge that same right click menu is spaced out to make tapping with your finger easy. Edge is also far more responsive to touch scrolling where Chrome isn't as smooth, and you now have extensions like Ublock, Ghostery etc.

zollotech not the same price tho, and the Surface Go is not practical without a keyboard. Add another 99 dollars and you see why it should be compared to the iPad Pro. The 399 version is useless.

zollotech I paid mine 600 euros last year which is totally comparable to the 549 plus 99 Microsoft asks for this device. I have no idea what Microsoft had in mind as a target. This thing is not a tablet, it’s an underperforming win 10 hybrid with a fake price of 399 (more like 648). Its only advantage would be that it runs x86 programs but the cpu is too weak to do anything but the same light stuff that you can do on an iPad. I would buy it right away if it was powerful enough to run say, Pianoteq 6, a desktop program, but I don’t think that cpu is capable of it. So I fail to see the point of it.

you're not comparing the iPad Pro against the surface go... the iPad Pro has more RAM and more storage, four speakers, faster processor... you should compare all tablets.

The Surface go or an Ipad 2018? I already got a gaming PC at home and a Laptop. I'm a student and mostly want to use the device to take notes with the surface pen or apple pencil. The Ipad would cost me around 320€ while the surface go costs around 380€. What do you guys think?

without keyboard and pencil the go is a better buy, more ram, more storage, more ports and sd card, bonded screen, but lower resolution, however as a tablet the ipad is better even with just 32gb vs 64 gb. The thing is both can use low cost BT keyboards. and the go can use a bt mouse. the go can also use older cheaper pens, much cheaper, and the ipad can use the crayon, a little cheaper. they are similar and quite different.

If iPads are productivity devices how come I've never seen a single co-worker or employee from another organization use one. Never seen someone pull one out at a professional conference or training. Never seen a grad student use one in any of my classes. Never seen them being used in a coffee shop, university or public library. I have seen my friends' children and my 70-year old mother use them..lol

Rather Get the iPad pro 2017 64 gb for 400-425$. Much better hardware than the iPads. I really doubt 2019 iPad will come with 120hz display and 4 speakers... Although it would be great if the would do, but then it would hurt their pro sales unless they make 2018 pro out of the world.
