Performance

The Microsoft Surface Go 4 comes fully loaded with Windows 10 Pro edition and Windows 11 Pro edition, the latter having AI-powered efficiency, intelligent workflows, and unmatched personalisation.

The Surface Go 4’s high-quality display is better than ever, with improved resolution and colour accuracy, making it ideal for transforming the user’s experience e.g. as an entertainment kiosk.

Portability

The portability of the Surface Go 4 is largely down to the fact that it’s extremely light at 1.15 pounds (522 grams), making it an ideal screen solution for lightweight kiosks that also need to be portable if they’re required to move around multiple locations. In addition, the Surface Go 4’s battery is much improved and can last 12.5 hours without charge. This battery limit setting is designed specifically for kiosk applications and will keep the battery healthy by allowing it to cycle up and down. This brand-new feature makes the Surface Go 4 ideal for being moved around in portable kiosk locations away from a main power source.
