If you're in the market for a simple and affordable Windows tablet, chances are, you've stumbled across Microsoft's Surface Go lineup. The Surface Go 3 was updated in 2021 to include newer specs and offer a low price point, and it was a surprisingly decent budget device.

Luckily, Microsoft has unveiled a new Surface Go 4, and it addresses a lot of the problems found with the Surface Go 3. But since Microsoft has chosen to make the Surface Go 4 an enterprise device designed for business and education uses, you might have trouble finding one. We've compared the two newest Surface Go devices below to help you find out which one is the best tablet — and which one you can actually buy.
