Microsoft launched the Surface Go Windows tablet in July of 2018. The new Surface lineup was not updated last year. But it is sure getting a successor this year dubbed as Surface Go 2, that too within a few weeks from now, claims MSPoweruser.
Microsoft Surface lineup of convertibles is popular among business people, artists, and even some developers. The Redmond tech giant introduced a tablet in the series called Surface Go with support for stylus and keyboard in mid-2018.
Though it was released as a competitor to Apple iPads, the king of tablets, it was no close to it in terms of specifications and power. Instead, it focussed on providing the power of the Windows 10 operating system in hands to a niche audience. And it seems to be worked out for Microsoft, at least in the US as they are sold out in the region.
This is why the speculations have begun and even the insiders are suggesting the launch of a new model called Surface Go 2. In February, a benchmark even confirmed the existence of this device powered by the 8th gen Intel Core m3-8100Y dual-core processor. This CPU will not bring much difference in terms of performance but will be at least better than the Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y CPU present in the original Surface Go.
Further, just like its predecessor, the Microsoft Surface Go 2 could start at $399 and go up to $650 for the high-end model with LTE. As for availability, it is possible the company might start taking orders in May itself.
