Microsoft Surface Go now available for pre-orders
Microsoft announced that the Surface Go will be available for pre-orders in Malaysia from local Surface authorised retailers.
With prices starting from RM1,749, the Surface Go will be officially launched in the market on August 28, 2018.
The youngest member of the Surface Family, Surface Go is the most portable and affordable Surface yet. Weighing just over 500 grammes and at 8.3mm thin, the 10-inch Surface is lightweight, productive and accessible.
Powered by a 7th Generation Intel Pentium Gold Processor 4415Y, the Surface Go is able to seamlessly launch applications whilst simultaneously running tasks on the background. With up to nine hours of battery life, Surface Go also has plenty of unplugged power, taking you from work or family projects to relaxing with your favorite TV shows, all on a single charge.
“Surface Go is the perfect answer to customers who are looking for laptop performance and tablet portability at an affordable price,” said Microsoft Malaysia chief marketing and operations officer Michal Golebiewski, in a statement.
“Sharing the same iconic Surface design, Surface Go is a sleek device that will help empower our customers to achieve the most out of their day, while being on the move, without needing to compromise on quality.”
Surface Go allows its users to experience more versatility when paired with the Surface Go Type Cover, the new Surface Mobile Mouse and Surface Pen.
Offering a unique typing experience with a backlit mechanical keyset, The Surface Go Type Cover features a full-size Precision Trackpad that is made of glass and has five-finger multiple touch support.
The Surface Mobile Mouse on the other hand features Blue- tooth pairing and an elegant design while the Surface Pen provides low latency, tilt sensitivity and 4,096 levels of pressure.
The Surface Go comes in a stylish Platinum color, whereas The Surface Go Type Cover is available in standard black or the Signature Type Cover with Alcantara in three rich colours — Burgundy, Cobalt Blue and Platinum, allowing you to showcase your individuality to the world.
Equipped with a high-resolution 10-inch PixelSense Display, the Surface Go is designed to be touched, viewed, and written on for work or play. It is optimised for superior scrolling and browsing, delivering a bigger, better reading and viewing experience by showing more content on the screen.
Delivering quick and secure facial recognition sign-in with Windows Hello, signing-in to the device is as simple as smiling. Available in either Windows 10 Home with S Mode or Windows 10 Pro, the Surface Go is the best Microsoft has to offer in a 10-inch device.
Surface Go will be available in Surface Go 4GB RAM/64GB eMMC configurations at a suggested retail price of RM1,749, and Surface Go 8GB RAM/128GB SSD at a suggested retail price of RM2,399. Microsoft Surface accessories are sold separately.
