The Microsoft Surface Go 3 may change your mind about the conventional wisdom that most updates are good updates. This is Microsoft’s Surface for kids (or at least those with smaller hands), as evidenced by the tablet’s smaller size and keyboard.

And having tested the Surface Go 3, users without very stringent demands are likely to be the only ones satisfied by this tablet.
