Review: Microsoft Surface Go 4

Test protocol

The test protocol has been revised to offer something more complete. As far as video games are concerned, we’ve chosen not to include them, given the performance and orientation of this machine.

We’ve also had to omit certain benchmarks due to compatibility concerns. First and foremost, the Geekbench, which caused a blue screen at launch. Rendering benchmarks on Davinci Resolve and Blender were also removed for lack of VRAM or power.
