[(Title)] Microsoft has a new, super-small $400 Surface tablet, and it's taking on the iPad and the MacBook Air at the same time

Meet the Microsoft Surface Go, a teeny-tiny new 1.15-pound laptop/tablet hybrid with a 10-inch screen that can fit in a handbag, fanny pack, or maybe even a particularly deep pocket.

面对Microsoft Expless Persone Go，这款新款1.15磅的笔记本/平板混合，屏幕10英寸，可以放在手提包、范尼包里，或者甚至特别深的口袋里。

Surface Go pricing starts at $400, but don't be fooled: Just as with the bigger, more powerful Surface Pro, you're going to want Microsoft's specially-made $99 keyboard cover to get the most out of the Surface Go.

Surface Go定价起价400美元，但不要被愚弄：就像更大，更强大的Surface Pro一样，你需要微软特制的99美元键盘盖来充分利用Surface Go。

In other words, you're looking at $500, all-in, for the Surface Go setup you really want. You'll be able to buy it August 2nd.

换句话说，你正在寻找500美元，全套的，用于表面安装您真正想要的，您可以在8月2日购买。

I got to play with one, briefly, a few weeks ago, and my first impression is that Microsoft has done a good job shrinking its Surface Pro form factor into something more portable, but still incredibly usable and comfortable to type on.

几周前，我简单明了地玩了一个游戏，我的第一印象是，微软做了很好的工作，将其表面Pro形貌缩小到更便携式环境中，但仍然可以令人难以置信地用并易于打字。

Under the hood, Microsoft says Surface Go owners can expect about as much computing power as 2014's Surface Pro 3. This means it'll be more than good enough for browsing the web, watching Netflix, and putting together a PowerPoint presentation.

在引擎盖下，Microsoft说，Squary Goe拥有者可以对2014年的表面Pro 3拥有同样多的计算能力，这意味着浏览网站、观看Netflix和编集PowerPoint演示文稿都做得足够好。

Maybe don't expect to play "Fortnite" with the graphics settings cranked way up, though.

也许不要指望和图形设置一起弹奏“Fortrume”，不过要走得更远。

It runs an Intel Pentium processor. The base model has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of hard drive space, while a more expensive model, starting at $549, will have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of hard drive space.

该平台拥有一台英特尔奔腾处理器，其基础模型包含4GB的RAM和128GB的硬盘空间，而价格较贵的模型，从549美元开始，将拥有8GB的RAM和256GB的硬盘空间。

Microsoft further claims that the Surface Go gets 9 hours of battery life, which comes with the caveat that this was tested by playing a video file that was stored on the device.

微软进一步声称，Squary Project获得9小时的电池寿命，而附加说明通过播放存储在该设备上的视频文件测试了这一点。

It also includes facial login by way of Microsoft's Windows Hello system, similar to Apple's FaceID, as well as a MicroSD card slot to expand its storage.

它还包括通过与苹果的FaceID相似的微软的WindowsHell系统进行面部登录，以及一个微型SD卡槽，以扩大其存储。

In terms of ports, the Surface Go is more limited than its larger brethren. It includes Microsoft's proprietary Surface Connect port, which is mostly used for charging but can also be used to plug it in to a docking station.

在端口方面，表面连接的限量大于更大的兄弟，它包括微软的专有表面连接端口，该端口主要用于充电，也可用于将其装入对接站。

Otherwise, you get a single port for USB-C — a new universal standard that replaces the USB slot you might be familiar with.

否则，您就会得到一个USB-C的端口，这个新的通用标准可以替代您所熟悉的USB槽。

The USB-C port can be used for plugging in monitors and other accessories, as well as for charging the Surface Go itself in a pinch.

USB-C端口可用来插上监视器和其他配件，并用于在夹头处给表面充电。

However, the vast majority of devices, including most smartphones, still rely on regular old USB to work, meaning that Surface Go owners might need to get in the habit of carrying around some adapters. It does have a headphone jack, though.

然而，绝大多数设备，包括大多数智能手机，仍然依赖常规的USB来工作，这意味着Squary Goe拥有者需要养成携带某些适配器的习惯，不过确实有耳机插头。

The Surface Go will ship with Windows 10's "S Mode" enabled, which means you can only install apps from the Microsoft Store — a tradeoff for better battery life and generally smoother performance.

使用Windows10的“S模式”启用的表面界面，这意味着您只能从MicrosoftStore安装应用程序？为更好的电池寿命和一般平滑的性能进行权衡。

If you want, though, it's easy to disable "S Mode" and go back to regular old Windows, which is good if you want Google Chrome as your browser.

不过，如果你想，很容易去禁用“S模式”，然后回到普通的老Windows，如果你希望谷歌Chrome作为浏览器的话，那将是很好的。

Finally, Microsoft says that a model with LTE cellular connectivity is in the works, but won't be ready until later this year.

最后，微软表示，一个使用LTE手机连接的模型已在进行中，但直到今年晚些时候才会准备好。

In the bigger picture, Microsoft is using the Surface Go and its price point to take aim at two Apple devices at once.

在更大的画面中，微软正在使用Square Go及其价格点同时瞄准两个苹果(Apple)装置。

First, as a tablet, the Surface Go will square off against Apple's productivity-focused iPad Pro, which starts at $649 for a 10.5-inch model.

首先，作为平板电脑，表面连接将会与苹果以生产力为重点的iPad Pro相媲美，这款iPad Pro以10.5英寸的款式以649美元为起点。

And second, as a fully-functional Windows 10 laptop, The Surface Go will try to eke some share away from Apple's whole line of MacBook laptops, which starts at $999 for the cheapest MacBook Air.

其次，作为一个功能齐全的Windows 10笔记本，《表面购物》将试图将苹果的整个MacBook膝上型电脑从最便宜的MacBook Air的999美元开始保持部分份额。

In both cases, Microsoft is employing the same sales pitch as the rest of the Surface lineup.

在这两种情况下，微软都采用与其他表面阵容相同的销售场。

Because the Surface Go runs a full version of Windows 10, you can run most every piece of Windows software, past or present. That's especially clutch in both schools and corporations, both of which often rely on specialized software.

由于Squary Project运行了Windows 10的完整版本，您可以运行过去和现在的大多数Windows软件，这在学校和公司都尤为重要，因为它们常常依赖专业软件。

And because the Surface Go is a tablet, it's both more portable than any Mac, plus it has a touchscreen.

由于表面购物是平板电脑，因此它比任何Mac电脑更便携，而且它还有一个触摸屏。

Make no mistake, Microsoft's Surface business in total is still a fraction of Apple's enormous hardware revenues. And while the Surface has its diehard fans, myself included, it's still a relatively niche product for Windows power users.

毫无疑问，微软的表面业务仍然是苹果巨大的硬件收入的一小部分，尽管表面拥有了强大的风扇，包括我自己，但它仍然是Windows电力用户比较合适的产品。

Still, at $399, the Surface Go costs far less than the $699 starting price for the larger Surface Pro. That could open up some doors for Microsoft's hardware business, especially among budget-conscious consumers.

不过，以399美元计算，Squary Pro(Squary Pro)的成本远远低于699美元的首发售价，这可能为微软的硬件业务打开了一些大门，特别是在预算意识的消费者当中。

On a final note, some Microsoft fans are sure to be disappointed by the reveal of the Surface Go.

在最后一点上，一些微软的粉丝肯定会对表层界面的表演感到失望。

It's been rumored for a long time now that Microsoft was working on a tinier Surface: Microsoft released the 10.8-inch Surface 3 back in 2015, but there hasn't been anything even sort of like it since.

已经有很长一段时间的谣传微软正在开发一种更精巧的表面：微软在2015年发布了10.8英寸的表面三维，但此后一直没有出现类似的情况。

In that sense, the announcement of the slightly smaller Surface Go is just picking up where the Surface 3 left off.

在这个意义上，轻微小的表面界面连接的公告正在收起曲面3的左侧。

However, in recent weeks, it's been rumored that Microsoft was closer than ever to revealing Andromeda, a brand-new pocketable Windows device with two screens.

然而，最近几周，据传微软公司比以往任何时候都更接近于披露Andromeda，这是一个带有两个屏幕的新型可携带的Windows系统。

While ZDnet recently reported that the  Andromeda project was on thin ice and unlikely to ever come to market, Microsoft enthusiasts were optimistic that it was close to debut.

虽然ZDnet最近报告说，Andromeda项目处于薄冰状态，不可能进入市场，但微软发烧友们仍对即将推出新项目感到乐观。

Well, it's certainly possible that Andromeda is still in the works. But while the Surface Go is indeed pocketable, it only has one screen, meaning that this ain't it.

当然，Andromeda还有可能继续工作。但是，尽管表面处理确实可以携带，但它只有一个屏幕，也就是说，不是这样。
