Last night Microsoft announced the new Surface Go and now it’ available for pre-order in the UK. The basic spec is 64GB eMMC drive, Intel 4415Y and has 4GB RAM with a price of £379.99 (£360.99 for students). The 128GB version with 8GB of RAM costs £509.99 (£484.49 for students). You can pre-order now and the devices will ship 22/08. The Surface Go ships with Windows 10 in S mode.
What is a little strange is the new type cover keyboard specifically designed for the Surface Go is not available in the store now; the cover price will probably be £99.
update: The keyboard is available from £99 from the Microsoft Store.
