Surface Pro is the existing Surface tablet in Microsoft Store, so let’s compare Surface Go and Surface Pro.
From overview comparison, we can not see obvious difference if we only view from Microsoft official pictures. But we might see some differences on screen edges. (Note: when we originally posted this article, Surface Go has not been released into market, so we could only check Microsoft store website)
