Microsoft surface Go or surface Pro

Can't decide between both. The main use would be reading and taking notes in uni and watching movies. I really like the new pro in black but it is costly.

If you're only doing that, and nothing more, Surface Go should is the best fit for you. Just don't get the 4GB model, and get the 8GB one.

You could always get a Surface Pro 5 if Surface Go might be slow for you.

or too small.

Make sure, you get the 128gb version of the Surface Go (it also comes with 8gb Ram instead 4gb.. That helps alot with Windows).

128gb storage = SSD

64gb storage = ultra slow emmc.

If Surface Go is too slow for you (CPU is quite weak. It's enough for those things, but depending how "smooth" you like it.. it might annoy you), you kinda "have" to go up to the surface Pro 5 or the new 6.

Main differenecs are: Surface Pro is 12,3"~ (bigger), and with the i5 CPU much faster in Performance.
