The Surface Go 4 For Business is the fourth generation model of the Surface Go series of devices, targeted at businesses rather than consumers, introduced as the successor to the Surface Go 3 For Business by Microsoft at their Surface Event on September 21, 2023.[1] The tablet runs Windows 11 Pro. The Surface Go 4 is currently the first business-only product in the Surface Go series [2]
While the Surface Go 4 is marketed as a device for businesses, it can be purchased by the general public from both the Microsoft Store[3] and various other stores.[4]
Unlike the previous version of the Surface Go, the move to business has made some previous features in the Surface Go 3 to be removed, including the option for an LTE Module and alternate color ways. In addition, Microsoft has pivoted to marketing the repairability of the device noting its replaceable components within the device specifications.

The Surface Go 4 is the 7th addition to the lightweight 2-in-1 Surface lineup. The Surface Go 4 is aimed toward small to mid-sized businesses. The tablet chassis material has largely stayed the same since the first generation. There is only one option for the processor, the Intel Processor N200, based on the Alder Lake microarchitecture. The N200 is 80% faster than the previous processor in the Surface Go 3, however the website does not specify which processor this is in reference to. The device doesn't come in a 4GB configuration, so all options of the Suface Go come with 8GB of RAM. Storage on the device is the same as the previous model, with options for 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of internal storage.
The device has a single USB-C Type 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) full function port. Allowing for the use of charging and displayport output through the USB-C Connector. The system has a proprietarty Surface Connect port for charging and docking the device to other accessories. The front-facing camera assembly has an infrared sensor that supports login via Windows Hello. The device comes with a Dual far-field Studio Mic setup with Voice Clarity, improving on the previous microphone array.
The Surface Go 4 uses the same 8-pin keyboard interface as the previous Surface Go models, so the device is compatible with previous type covers.
The Surface Go 4 runs Windows 11 Pro or Windows 10 Pro depending on how the device is configured.
The device also supports Windows Hello login using biometric facial recognition.[7]
Windows 11 comes with multiple default applications along with options to add Microsoft 365 applications in Business Standard, Business Premium, or a 30-day free trial Version.
With the pivot to businesses, Microsoft needed to make their devices more enticing to business users and their IT Departments. Microsoft designed the Surface Go 4 to be much more repairable than its predecessors. According to Microsoft, the following components are FRUs, or Field replaceable Units:
Along with notifying businesses of what parts are replaceable, Microsoft provides documentation[8] on how to troubleshoot your device, articles made for specifc device types,[9] Where to purchase parts, and FAQs for the most common issues.
As part of the initiave to make their devices repairable, Microsoft has partnered with iFixit in order to provide instructions and spare parts. Parts can also be ordered directly from Microsoft through the Microsoft Store.[10]
