The Surface Go is a beautiful tablet/laptop combo that does an excellent job of balancing portability and power. Like any piece of technology these days, it's the accessories that make the Surface Go shine. These are the add-ons I swear by day in and day out.
For the artistic upper hand
When accuracy matters, there's no substitution for the Microsoft Surface Pen. Ink flows in real-time and without lag in any app. Take notes by hand, compose a song, or draw. Tilting the pen shades sketches while an eraser at the other end magically removes mistakes. With more than 4,000 pressure points, you have excellent control over your work every step of the way.
Protect the glass
The Surface Go is tough, but there's no harm in adding a little extra defence against bumps, scratches and spills in the form of a screen protector. The IVSO screen protector was designed especially for the Surface Go and is easy to apply. The screen protector has a high transparency rate and adds only .26mm to your tablet, so you maintain the original touch experience.
Rugged protection
Urban Armor Gear (UAG) has made a name for themselves designing military-grade cases for electronics. This Surface Go case and stand is no exception. It won't add much weight to your bag, but the UAG rugged case will add protection. This model has passed the military drop test. Yowza! It has a tactile grip and built-in pen storage, and it's compatible with Microsoft's Type Cover Keyboard.
Business as usual
The Infiland Case is all class. Make a statement with one of eight colour and style patterns, and go business casual or ultra-professional. Each unit is designed to guard against scratches and bumps by wrapping snugly around your tablet and providing a solid layer of protection. Cutouts for the camera, speakers, stand, and other ports don't restrict access to your tablet in any way.
Increase storage space
If you find internal storage on your Surface Go lacking, an inexpensive microSD card from SanDisk will fix that. This 128GB card slides into the microSD card slot under the kickstand, expanding your internal storage significantly. A small investment in a microSD card will give you room for all the music, movies and apps you can handle.
Stay organised
Messy cords bog down the best of us. The UGREEN gadget bag organises cables and accessories at home and on the road. This hard case offers a measure of protection against bumps and comes with a carry handle for portability. The small bag is big enough to tote power cords, headphones, speakers, and even your phone.
Time is money
Keep your Surface Go charged up with the Surface Connect from Aifulo. One side of this lengthy cable plugs directly into your Surface Go and the other into a USB C port. An onboard LED keeps you abreast of the charging status while a built-in IC chip detects input voltage for stable charging in your vehicle or home.
If you want our recommendation
We're living in the golden age of accessories for the Surface Go. If you favour tactile creativity, reach for the Microsoft Surface Pen and turn your Surface Go into the ultimate tablet. Write and draw in real-time while retaining the precision of an actual pen and pencil. Thousands of pressure points and an eraser help you stay productive and imaginative.
And keep your Surface Go protected with a rugged case from Urban Armor Gear. This lightweight case fits in your bag yet is tough enough to pass the military drop test.
