On January 4, Microsoft Surface Go 3's new color "elegant black" was officially launched, and the bare metal price was 3998 yuan, and it was shipped from January 11.
Previously, Microsoft's official website only had "ice crystal blue", "bright platinum silver", "Bobby red" three colors, the delay in the launch of the classic black is really a bit unreasonable, this should be the supply link problem.
Now Microsoft China official store has a total of 3 Surface Go 3 on the shelves, namely:
Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y/4GB/64GB, priced at 2988 yuan (no elegant black color);
Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y/8GB/128GB, priced at 3988 yuan;
Intel Core i3/8GB/128GB, priced at 4588 yuan.
The Pentium GOLD 6500Y is a new product released by Intel this year, but it was dug out to be a small modification of the product released three years ago, that is, the vest version of the Core M3-8100Y processor, and its performance is not strong.
Pentium GOLD 6500Y 4GB memory is a little too small, if the user is using the Google Chrome browser, open a few more web pages, the memory is basically full, users also have to frequently close the web page, use it is more troublesome, Xiao Lei is not recommended to purchase this version.
The storage capacity is worth mentioning, the two versions of the storage are 64GB eMMC or 128GB SSD, it has to be said that the former capacity is a bit too small. Users who buy this product may have many people who have light office needs. As an office folder, it will take up some space, and consumers need to think carefully about the storage space they may use, and then consider which product to choose.
3988 yuan of bare metal, plus 258 yuan of Microsoft 365, plus 614 yuan of keyboard, the price came to 4860 yuan.
The price is also close to 5000, but the CPU performance is really weak. In contrast, the third-party version of the MacBook Air of the M1 chip is priced at more than 6,000 pieces, which in most cases will be much stronger in performance and excellent endurance performance. If the small partners are not in a hurry, the MacBook Air equipped with M2 chips may be mass-produced in mid-2022, and you can also expect a wave.
It is worth mentioning that the quality of Surface products before the reputation is not good, often there are some hardware problems. Moreover, Microsoft's after-sales channels in China are not perfect, and it is more troublesome to repair. Xiao Lei suggested that before consumers buy Surface products, first see if there are any after-sales points in their cities, and if they repair them, they will save a lot of worry and avoid the pain of long-term repairs.
