On July 10^th, Microsoft proudly announced the arrival of a new addition to the Surface family, the Surface Go!

The Surface team strive to adapt to this dynamic way of working and to strike a balance between performance and versatility of a laptop. We are encouraging our students to work in a variety of ways and that can be possible with the right device! Pioneering a 2:1 model can provide the mobility of a tablet with the performance of a laptop, inspiring new ways of creating and delivering in the classroom.
