Compared to my HP tablet for $200, this still feels like too much money for what it is (yes, this has 8gb compared to 4gb, and double the hard drive space). But it's still 5 year old tech. It's got DDR3 in it for cryin' out loud.

I'll be waiting for the 13th gen ultra-low voltage tech in the form of the new Intel N200 chip with 8gb DDR5. Should be able to get something in the next 3-4 months.

DDR3 is sufficient for what people are going to use this for, and you are close, this CPU was released four years ago. If you are wanting a Surface device with the specs you mentioned, you'll be waiting more than a year I'll bet.

Valid points for sure.

Surfaces in general are more expensive for the hardware compared to other brands for the most part. Admittedly, I'll never understand why (I owned a Surface Go 1 and it didn't impress me any more than other tablets of the time). I have a Lattepanda Alpha and a Chromebook with this exact hardware configuration and they work great (even have the LP-A set up as a small server), but the Chromebook was $100 bucks a few months ago and the Lattepanda Alpha was $400 back in Oct 2018.

Q3 of '18 for the processor, but this is was absolute tail end of DDR3 production, which was originally introduced in 2007. DDR4 was released in 2014. IIRC, the reason DDR3 was around for so much longer is that it was much lower power consumption comparatively. I'm just thinking it's a bit odd to be selling machines with DDR3 in 2023 for over $200, even a Surface, but MS does what it wants I guess. They want to be the Apple of their own OS.

This device was released in May of 2020, so the specs really weren't that outdated at the time.

The proper part number for this unit is SUG-00001, WOOT keeps mis-listing it. Also, if you look at CPU benchmarks, this is less than 5% slower that the i3 in the Surface Go 3. Plus, since this is the business version, it comes with a 256 GB SSD and Windows 10 PRO. The Surface Go 3 is not available with a 256GB SSD unless you go the business version which is closer to $800 for these same specs.

I would consider this if it had a keyboard. How much for a Microsoft keyboard?

These are well built devices. You can find a pretty good condition one without an OS (because they were wiped by the business) and do the install yourself by going the ebay route for $150 range for the m3 go 2. Picked up a pen for $20 from Amazon warehouse, USB c charger and hub with what I have already, and an alcantara keyboard for $30 from ebay. This is a really good comparable setup to ipad and at literally half the price of a base ipad. However, at these prices of $400, I am not sure why someone wouldn't just go for the iPad. I find myself reaching for the iPad more often. Everyone has a laptop already. No one has just the surface go 2...

But this brand new is it not?
I prefer a real Windows browser when web surfing.

The browsing experience is just not the same with "mobile" browser, even when you specify "desktop" versions of sites. Browsing on an ipad or my S7+ is just not the same on certain sites. This is running true windows.
