2023-09-17
Arr, me hearties! Avast ye! The grand Surface event be soon approachin', and whispers suggest that the Microsoft Surface Go 4 be makin' an appearance. But will this new matey help the line bounce back from the dreadfully received Surface Go 3? Time will tell, me scurvy dogs!
According to sources, the Microsoft Surface Go 4 is expected to be announced at Microsoft's upcoming "special Surface event" on September 21. This would make sense as the previous model, the Surface Go 3, was released on the same date in 2021 and received unfavorable reviews. The Surface Go line has never reached the heights of the best 2-in-1 and touchscreen laptops on the market due to its low-end components.The Surface Go 4 presents an opportunity for Microsoft to redeem itself and prove that it can create an affordable and reliable 2-in-1 device. Rumors suggest that the new model will be powered by Intel rather than the previously planned ARM-based version. It is speculated that the Surface Go 4 will be priced higher than its predecessor, starting at around $500. However, this could be justified by omitting the 4GB RAM model and offering 8GB of memory as a base configuration.
In terms of design, it is expected that the Surface Go 4 will inherit the portable form factor and 1080p webcam of the previous model. It is also hoped that Microsoft will include the Type Cover in the box, considering the potential price increase. A more modern-looking screen with thinner bezels would also be welcomed.
As for specs and performance, the Surface Go 4 is rumored to have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage as a base configuration. It will likely be powered by the Intel N200 processor, making it more capable than the Surface Go 3. Improvements in performance and battery life are highly anticipated, as the previous model was criticized for being underpowered and having a short battery life.
More information about the Surface Go 4 will be available after the Microsoft event, but it seems that the wait won't be too long.
