Microsoft Surface Go Review

The Microsoft Surface Go can only be one of the best 2-in-1s when used with the Type Cover. But most deals for this Windows 10 device only include the base tablet. Best Buy lets you get this tablet and laptop hybrid complete with keyboard attachment at $80 below their combined price. Grab this Microsoft Surface deal to save on an already-affordable portable PC.

When bundled together, the Microsoft Surface Go and its Type Cover keyboard attachment sell at $679. Best Buy drops it down to $599 and even throws a free six-month Trend Micro Internet Security subscription worth $30. You can also get $20 off Microsoft Office when you buy a package together with this device. Hurry and place your order now while this deal is live.

The Microsoft Surface Go is primarily a tablet that can easily transform into a laptop by attaching the keyboard. Its 10-inch PixelSense display offers good colors and accuracy, high contrast, and excellent brightness. This touchscreen also supports Surface Pen, which you can buy separately.

Connecting the included Type Cover keyboard attachment turns the Microsoft Surface Go into a portable workstation. This accessory offers an all-around enjoyable typing experience. However, its small layout might lead to some mistyping at first. It also comes built with a touchpad that is smooth and feels precise.

Inside the Microsoft Surface Go is an Intel Pentium 4415Y processor. This chipset can run Microsoft Word, Photoshop Express, and other more conventional applications just fine when focused on a single task. But if your workflow is based on web apps like WordPress and Trello, there might be some stuttering and choppiness.

The 27-watt-hour battery inside the Microsoft Surface Go can last you up to eight hours of work. Using it for short bursts of activity will let you get away with not charging every day.

If you are looking for a compact detachable tablet for work, school, or travel, the Microsoft Surface Go is a great option. This Windows 2-in-1 can deliver your productivity and entertainment needs at a price that will not break the bank. You can get yours together with the Type Cover keyboard for a discounted price of $599. Place your order now to get $80 off this Surface Go bundle.

WhatsApp can now open and edit PDFs without making you download them first
Adobe Acrobat is adding built-in viewing and annotation tools for PDFs shared through WhatsApp on larger screens

Adobe is making PDF attachments much less annoying in WhatsApp. Its new Acrobat integration lets you open a PDF and mark it up without downloading the file or leaving the conversation.

The feature is available today through WhatsApp Web and the Windows app. The headline comes with an important caveat, though. This isn’t full PDF editing. You can review and annotate a document, but you can’t rewrite its original text or rearrange the layout.

The company has partnered with AI-detection firm Pangram to introduce new tools that will let users scan posts, notes, and replies for AI-generated text. CEO Chris Best introduced the features in a post titled "Against Claudefishing," his term for content that leans on AI while presenting itself as human work.

China’s AI talent shortage has tech giants recruiting teenagers
Forget campus recruiting, china's biggest tech firms are betting on teenage coders.
Artificial Intelligence

A 13-year-old boy in Hangzhou has already won national AI competitions and built a following of more than 136,000 people online, all while his dad tries to figure out how to guide him through a field that barely existed when he himself was growing up. That family's situation, first reported by Rest of World, says a lot about where China's tech industry is heading right now.

Companies used to wait for graduates to walk through the door. Now they're reaching further back, first to undergrads, and increasingly to teenagers, hoping to spot rare talent before anyone else gets to them.
