Preliminary assumptions about the Microsoft Surface Go 3
According to a previous report by WinFuture, this third-generation convertible PC from Microsoft will reportedly share the same design as its predecessors. Its design uses a magnesium alloy and has a retractable stand. Judging by previous reports, the new Surface Go laptop will have a fanless design. In other words, the device will not have any moving parts inside. However, this can lead to problems related to overheating.
