Microsoft's Surface Go 3 starts at $399 and aims to be a lightweight iPad Air  competitor. In our Surface Go 3 review, the Surface Go 3 has a premium design, great display, and solid speakers. This tablet is outfitted with an impressive webcam as well as an IR camera for secure Windows Hello login. Although we expected more from it in terms of battery life and performance from our review unit, customers' reviews are relatively positive. It's likely a Windows software update rollout addressed these issues.

Design-wise, the Surface Go 3 is the mirror image of the previous-gen Surface Go 2. Weighing a mere 1.2-pounds, and measuring 9.7 x 6.9 x 0.3 inches, it's on par with its predecessor (0.3 inches, 1.2 pounds) and Apple's iPad Air 5 (0.2 inches thick, 1 pound).
