Compared to the new iPad’s sole Lightning connector, the Surface Go has a veritable bevy of ports, from USB-C to microSD to Microsoft’s own Surface Connect port. However, those differences in size and weight do facilitate a big advantage that the Surface Go has: ports. Naturally, these differences would be difficult to discern when either tablet is in your hand or in your bag. Likewise, the iPad is a little lighter than Surface Go at 1.03 pounds (469g) to the Surface’s 1.15 pounds (522g). Both tablets are incredibly thin, but the iPad’s 0.29 inches (7.5mm) of thinness narrowly beats out the Surface Go at 0.33 inches (8.3mm).
