Surface Pro 4 vs. Surface Go

[Robokill234]

Hello! I am looking to buy a laptop/tablet for my mother for Christmas. She does not currently have one, and uses her phone for everything, complaining about the small screen. (A hint for my father and I for christmas gift ideas) I have found a surface pro 4 still in box, with the touch cover keyboard, 4 gigs of ram, and 128gb of storage for 500. I was curious as to how this would compare with a Surface Go, being in a similar price range, would it be better to splurge for the $400 surface go with a keyboard, or even the 550 surface go over this? Or go with the older hardware? Remember, she only really uses it for emails, watching netflix, hulu, etc. and reading while she travels or at home.

If your mother is not a hardcore user, something like a surface go would probably be more than sufficient. Also it's smaller and more comfortable than the rather large (for a tablet) surface pro 4

Must it be tablet? Location? Any preference on weight, display size, display quality and battery life?
