Microsoft Surface Go 2 (Core m3-8100Y, Intel UHD) (If you've read any of my previous Surface reviews, you'll know this is a hill I'm prepared to die on.) Maybe throw in a Type Cover? Because nobody should buy this thing (or any Surface for that matter) without a keyboard.

But Microsoft could have made the base Surface Go 2 a bit more compelling by bundling it with an accessory. I get it: Trying to spec out a $400 tablet is tough. It also has the advantage of being built for a mobile OS instead of Windows. In comparison, Apple’s $329 iPad is equipped with a Fusion A10 processor, a remnant from the iPhone 7 that’s still pretty zippy today 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It's still equipped with a lowly Pentium Gold CPU (though it's at least based on a newer chip architecture) it still has a meager 4GB of RAM and there's only 64GB of sluggish eMMC storage. The larger screen is certainly nice to have, but the overall experience on the $400 base model hasn't changed at all over the past two years. I can't imagine Microsoft would completely redesign the Surface Go after its debut, but it would have been nice to see more of a push forward.
