I'm in the same boat, with a 2020 Surface Go. It's not a powerful machine but works just fine for taking notes and light browsing. I'm fine with it being stuck on Windows 10 - 11 would probably make it unusably slow - but when I purchased it I reasonably expected it to have similar longevity to the then 6 year old iPad it replaced.
- vel0city 3y agoThe Surface Go 2 which came out in may 2020 can be updated to Windows 11.
- rjst01 3y agoThis is a Surface Go 1, which can not.
- vel0city 3y agoSo a 2018 Surface Go.
- rjst01 3y agoWhich I purchased in 2020, at a time when it was the newest model available.
- vel0city 3y agoSaying "2020 Surface Go" implies the 2020 model. Which yours isn't the model from 2020, it's the model from 2018. Which is why it's a lot better to use the actual product names instead of just the year you purchased it. If I buy a 1950s car in 2023 I probably shouldn't call it a 2023 car.
- nytesky 3y agoMaybe but when you are buying hardware from the software manufacturer, it would stand to reason to have a reasonable lifespan.
- vel0city 3y ago2018-2025 is seven years of support. Apple supports iPads for like 5-9 years. I'd like for it to be longer, but it's not like Microsoft is being some kind of outlier here in the midrange tablet market.
