Microsoft Announcement:
Surface Go– Packing a punch in 1.15 pounds and a 10-inch PixelSense Display, Surface Go moves with you throughout your day — from the road to your couch. A device that is small and strong. That can run desktop apps like Office and casual apps like Spotify and Netflix. You can work the way you want with ink and touch and a trackpad. It’s the premium qualities that Surface is known for and our most accessible price yet, at $399 (estimated at RM16xx).
With Surface Go, we made the device smaller while remaining true to what makes Surface unique: versatility, design and performance.
Surface Go is the best of Microsoft and the iconic Surface design you know and love, with no compromises in premium quality. It’s your notebook for imagination, your best friend on the plane and your family’s trusted confidant. We love this device and hope you do too.

Surface Go is available for pre-order from tomorrow (11 July) in Australia, New Zealand. Pre-order in Malaysia starts from 2 August. In the coming weeks, Surface Go will be available for pre-order in Japan, Singapore, Korea, and Thailand and in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan with more markets to follow.

Innovative Design.
- With a slim, sleek design, the new Surface Go is ideal for everyday tasks when you are on the move. Its high-resolution 10-inch PixelSense Display with 10-point touch support is designed to be touched, viewed, and written on for work or play. Equipped with a 3:2 aspect ratio optimized for superior scrolling and browsing, Surface Go delivers a bigger, better reading and viewing experience by showing more content on the screen. Capture your favorite moments with family and friends by taking photos and making crisp, clear video calls with dual microphones, a front-facing 5.0-megapixel HD camera and rear auto-focus 8.0-megapixel HD camera. The built-in kickstand with full friction hinge extends to 165 degrees and helps you stay in your flow from tablet to Studio mode. The hinge design helps you find the perfect angle for any task: from adjusting the device angle on the plane to pushing the kickstand down to ink on a photo to share with your friends.
Portable Performance.
- Your Surface Go will run smoothly throughout the day, powered by an Intel® Pentium® Gold Processor 4415Y. Seamlessly launch an application like OneNote or stream video with Netflix while tasks like downloading email or listening to music run in the background. Optimized for mainstream productivity and chosen to manage performance, battery life and thinness, the 7th Generation Intel® Pentium® Gold Processor 4415Y gives you the portable power you need to get stuff done. With up to 9 hours of battery life,3 Surface Go has plenty of unplugged power, taking you from work or family projects to relaxing with your favorite TV shows, all on a single charge. A microSDXC card reader under the kickstand makes it easy to add more storage so you’ll never run out of space for photos, videos and music.
