Because we’re comparing it to the Duet with the keyboard built-in, we’ll assume that price is included in the retail price. The Surface Go 2 costs $400 for the entry-level tablet, with an additional $100 for the cheapest keyboard/trackpad cover. It’s a smaller, cheaper, more portable machine, but it keeps the broad strokes the same as the popular Surface Pro, including that excellent keyboard, which is still a separate purchase.
The Surface Go is the evolution of the device that Microsoft used to call just “Surface” (sans “Pro”). At only 60% of the price, assuming you want that keyboard and touchpad, the Duet is unbeatable in terms of value.īuy at BestBuy Microsoft Surface Go 2: As Small as Windows Should Ever Get
That’s $120 cheaper than the cheapest Surface Go 2, which requires a separate $100 purchase if you want the keyboard. Cameron Summerson / Review GeekĮven with the keyboard, the Duet has a starting retail price of $280.
If you want to go full touchscreen or just want to use a full-sized keyboard, it pops right off its POGO pins. While the keyboard isn’t exactly fantastic, it gets the job done and doubles as a screen protector when the tablet is in motion. The Duet comes with a keyboard in the box, an instant advantage over similar designs in terms of value. The cloth-covered kickstand makes it look sort of like a Surface at a glance, but it snaps off the back via integrated magnets, revealing a super-thin 10-inch tablet underneath. It nails the combination device form factor in ways that much more expensive devices, like Google’s own Pixel Slate, simply don’t. Lenovo’s budget take on a Chrome tablet wowed us when we checked it out at CES earlier this year, and Cam called it a nearly perfect ChromeOS device.
