Microsoft launches smaller, cheaper Surface Go to rival the iPad

New 10in Windows 10 tablet is half the cost of Surface Pro, aimed at Apple's iPad and Google's Chromebooks but running Office

Microsoft has unveiled its direct challenge to Apple's iPad, the cheaper, smaller and lighter Surface Go 2-in-1 Windows 10 tablet.

The Surface Go resembles other models of Microsoft's successful Surface tablet range, but has a smaller 10in screen, is 8.3mm thick and only weighs 522g. But the biggest difference is the price: the Surface Go starts at 380 in the UK and $399 in the US, which is half the price of the cheapest Surface Pro tablet.
