Microsoft Surface Go 3Tablet 10.5" Touch i3-10100Y 4GB 64GB eMMC Win 11

Microsoft Surface Go 3 — 10.5" Windows Tablet

A certified refurbished Microsoft Surface Go 3 with an Intel Core i3-10100Y processor, 4GB of memory and 64GB of eMMC storage, on a 10.5" PixelSense touchscreen running Windows 11. Weighs 544 grams. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• Full Windows, not a mobile operating system. This runs the same desktop applications as any Windows PC — Office, Chrome, your line-of-business software, the printer drivers that only exist for Windows. That is the whole reason to choose a Surface Go over an iPad or an Android tablet.
• 544 grams. It is genuinely light enough to hold in one hand for a whole meeting, and small enough to disappear into a bag you would not otherwise call a laptop bag.
• A properly sharp screen. The 10.5" PixelSense display runs 1920 × 1280 at 220 pixels per inch, in a 3:2 shape that suits documents and web pages far better than a widescreen panel.
• Built-in kickstand. The full-friction hinge props it at any angle on a desk, tray table or bench without an accessory.
• Becomes a laptop. Add a Type Cover and you have a keyboard and trackpad; it also supports the Surface Pen for handwriting and mark-up.
• All-day battery. Microsoft rates the Go 3 at up to 11 hours of typical use, and it charges over Surface Connect or USB-C.

Performance In Use — And Being Straight About It

This is the entry configuration of the Surface Go 3: 4GB of memory and 64GB of eMMC storage. It is worth being clear about what that means, because it decides whether this is the right machine for you or the wrong one.

Where it works well: note-taking, email, Office documents, web research, video calls, streaming, reading, filling in forms, running a point-of-sale or kiosk application, and as a light second device alongside a main computer. For a student carrying it between classes, a nurse or tradesperson filling in records, or anyone who needs Windows in a bag that also holds a lunchbox, it does the job and does it quietly.

Where it will frustrate you: 4GB of memory is the real ceiling here, and it is soldered, so it cannot be upgraded later. Twenty browser tabs alongside Office will make it swap. The 64GB eMMC drive is slower than the SSD in higher configurations, and after Windows and updates you have roughly 30–40GB free — enough for documents, not for a large photo or video library. A microSD card handles that cheaply. If your day involves heavy multitasking, large spreadsheets, photo editing or virtual machines, buy something bigger; that is not a criticism of this tablet, it is simply not what this configuration is for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 4GB of memory enough?

For its intended use — Office, email, web, video, note-taking, forms — yes. For heavy multitasking, no. The memory is soldered to the board and cannot be upgraded, so treat 4GB as a fixed limit when deciding. If you routinely keep many tabs and applications open at once, choose an 8GB machine instead.

How much of the 64GB can I actually use?

Roughly 30–40GB once Windows and its update reserve are accounted for. That is fine for documents and applications. For photos, music or video, add a microSD card — the slot takes microSDXC and cards are inexpensive.

What is eMMC, and how does it differ from an SSD?

eMMC is flash storage soldered to the board. It is slower than the SSD used in higher Surface Go configurations, so large file copies and application installs take longer. For everyday use — booting, opening Office, browsing — the difference is noticeable but not obstructive.

Does it come with a keyboard or pen?

No. The Type Cover keyboard and Surface Pen are sold separately. The tablet supports both, and either can be added at any time.

Is this the LTE version?

No. This is the Wi-Fi model. It connects over Wi-Fi 6 or by tethering to a phone.

Can it run full desktop programs?

Yes. It runs Windows 11, so desktop applications install and run as they would on any Windows PC — within the limits of 4GB of memory.

What is included, and how is it shipped?

The tablet, its power adapter and cable, and a tax invoice. This unit qualifies for free standard AU shipping, dispatched from our Melbourne warehouse.
