And sluggishness occurs with more frequency when switching between two apps that are already running. Re-enter UEFI (press power + Volume Up) and toggle Type Cover port back on, then check if the Keyboard works in UEFI. Then you've caught me testing gear and editing reviews of laptops, desktop PCs, and tons of other personal tech.

Microsoft's Surface Go 3 is a solid entry-level tablet, with better performance and the same great experience as the previous generation. Why you can trust Windows Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. If you're using a Surface Go, Surface Go 2, or Surface Go 3 without a keyboard, you're missing out big time. You can’t, however, access the more varied sizes of the snap layout via touch, only with a pointer, and I found myself completely ignoring the new slide-out widgets pane as it did not really add enough to the experience to remind me it was there. That’s not too bad considering the battery is only a little larger than the Go 2’s (28Wh versus 27Wh).It has a compact design, and it'll work with just about any Bluetooth device, so not just for the Surface Go 3. Its keys are backlit, with seven customizable color options, and it has unique shortcut keys in the top row of buttons to trigger functions like screenshots, volume, and display lock. You can opt for a Microsoft dongle or adapter to plug into the proprietary Surface Connect port (which is also where you plug in the Go 3’s AC adapter), or use a cheaper third-party USB dongle. For review, Microsoft sent me the mid-range 128GB Pentium Gold model with a Platinum Alcantara keyboard but no stylus. The only thing missing from Fintie's option when compared to Microsoft's is the Alcantara fabric, which most people won't miss too much.

This package contains drivers for all of the components in the Surface Go 3, as well as updates to the system firmware that have been released via Windows Update. The lack of performance raises the broader question of what the Surface Go 3 is actually designed to do and who it is aimed at. Pick the most expensive model and add the essential accessories and it becomes expensive but only slightly less pointless. The tablet is well made with an excellent kickstand for propping it up like a laptop or for watching videos. In fact, I spent all of my time testing the Go 3 without using the Ice Blue Type Cover that Microsoft sent along with our review unit, just to see if I could rely entirely on the touch screen.

Consistent with our build lifecycle support, the following MSI packages are no longer being updated with latest drivers and firmware. If you want something more affordable and customizable, this Inateck keyboard comes with seven different colors options for the keyboard backlight. The 3:2 aspect ratio has obvious benefits for productivity use, although the flip side is you’ll have to put up with large areas of black above and below widescreen videos.
