Windows 10's tablet mode will be Surface Go's biggest weakness

Surface Go is primarily a tablet, but sadly Windows 10 isn't tablet-friendly in its current state.

The Surface Go is not a laptop. It's the first Surface in a long while that's built primarily as a tablet for consumption and entertainment purposes over being a straight up laptop replacement, and that's going to be the Go's biggest pain point due to Windows 10. A good tablet is about more than just good hardware, you need a good OS experience to go along with it. Unfortunately, Windows 10 doesn't have a good tablet experience to offer, not when compared to iOS on the iPad at least.

It wasn't always like this, though. Back in 2014, Microsoft had an excellent OS for tablets known as Windows 8.1. Windows 8 was built from the ground up for tablets, which was a mistake on desktops, but for tablets was an excellent idea. The original Windows 8.x tablets were great tablets, thanks to both their design and software experience. It was fast and fluid, beautiful, and animation heavy, which is everything you want from a tablet experience.
