Microsoft Surface Go 4: Everything you need to know

A tablet with detachable keyboard was the original product in the Surface range, but it wasn’t until 2018 that Microsoft 2-in-1s became genuinely affordable. 

That’s when the first Surface Go arrived, making it one of the cheapest devices to run a full version of Windows.  That’s continued across two subsequent iterations, although the Surface Go 3 was one of the less exciting products Microsoft released last year. Aside from a processor upgrade, running Windows 11 out of the box was the only other change of note. 

With that in mind, hopefully Microsoft is more ambitious when it comes to the next generation of Surface Go. Here’s everything you need to know about the Surface Go 4 at this early stage. 

When will the Surface Go 4 be released? 

Microsoft doesn’t usually reveal anything about new products ahead of an official reveal. But without any other release date rumours so far, our best guess comes from previous generations: 

  • Surface Go 3 – October 2021 
  • Surface Go 2 – May 2020 
  • Surface Go – August 2018 

The Surface Go doesn’t seem to have a regular update cycle yet, making it difficult to predict when the next model will arrive. However, Microsoft usually launches new hardware in late Spring and early Autumn/Fall. 

If the company decides to shift to Surface Pro-style annual updates, an announcement in September/October 2022 is possible. A more likely scenario is April/May 2023, but it’s difficult to predict at this stage. 

How much will the Surface Go 4 cost? 

We have no idea how much Microsoft is planning to sell the Surface Go 4 for. However, it’s remained relatively consistent with Surface Go pricing so far: 

  • Surface Go 3 – from £369/US$399.99 
  • Surface Go 2 – from £399/US$399.99 
  • Surface Go – from £379/US$399.99

Moving to a Qualcomm chip could affect the price, but Windows Central’s Zac Bowden says

If Microsoft does decide to make big changes for the Surface Go 4, it could get significantly more expensive. 

Remember, the crucial Type Cover will probably continue to be sold separately. The latest version will usually set you back at least an extra
/
, or more if you’d prefer an Alcantara finish. 

What specs and new features will the Surface Go 4 have? 

The Surface Go 4 isn’t expected until late 2022 at the very earliest. As such, it’s no surprise that concrete rumours are thin on the ground right now. However, we still have a pretty good idea of what to expect. 

One change we’re almost certain to see comes under the hood. The Go 3 arrived just a couple of months before Intel revealed its 12th-gen mobile CPUs at CES. Prior to any rumours, it seemed likely that the Go 4 would be powered by Alder Lake, although it may be 13th-gen Raptor Lake by the time the device is released.

But will Microsoft make the move to an ARM-based Qualcomm chip instead? In a recent video, Windows Central’s Zac Bowden describes it as “pretty likely”, but “not 100% confirmed yet”. Bowden went on to say that it’s something Microsoft is considering internally, and his strong track record for Surface news gives us no reason to doubt what he’s saying.

As a more affordable device, the Go 4 is unlikely to use the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3, but a specific chipset isn’t known at this stage. Bowden’s co-host Daniel Rubino speculates that it could use the older Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2, which would be considered a budget option by that stage.

However, Bowden says “there will likely still be Intel SKUs” on high-end models and for business users.

Moving to ARM should help benefit battery life, improving Microsoft’s claims of up to 11 hours on a single charge. However, the battery depleted much faster during our review testing, so hopefully the 28Wh capacity is increased too. 

The Surface Go 2 increased the display from 10in to 10.5in without changing the total footprint of the device, but that’s the only design change we’ve seen. Thinner bezels could allow Microsoft to fit an 11in display here, but it may be reluctant to make a budget device look just as good as the premium Surface Pro. Indeed, Zac Bowden says “I wouldn’t expect any real design changes to it”.

Surface Go 3
The Surface Go 4’s bezels could be slimmer than the Go 3

That’s why it’s also unlikely we’ll see the Go 4 move to a high refresh rate display possible if we do see a price increase. Either way, the 1920×1080 PixelSense (LCD) display probably won’t change – it’s plenty detailed for most people buying the Surface Go. 

Business versions of the Surface Go 3 have optional support for 4G LTE. That’ll probably stay the same for the Go 4, with the Surface Pro 9 much more likely to shift to 5G. 

One of our main frustrations with the Go 3 was its lack of ports. There’s just one USB-C, one microSD and Surface Connect for charging. It would be nice to see at least one more USB-C port (potentially with Thunderbolt 4 support), alongside USB-A and maybe a 3.5mm headphone jack. That may increase the thickness of the device, but it would be a worthwhile trade-off.

It would be great to see more ports on the Surface Go 4

Intel Arc-powered NUC 12 mini PCs appear online – but don’t get excited yet

Intel’s NUC 12 Extreme, the incoming (and potentially power-packed) mini PC codenamed ‘Serpent Canyon’ featuring the company’s own Arc graphics cards, has been spotted listed in various incarnations at an online retailer.

You may recall that a month ago we were treated to leaked specs of the multiple configurations that the NUC 12 box of tricks should come in, and those rumors seem to be on the money – assuming these product listings which have popped up aren’t wrong.

As highlighted by VideoCardz (and originally flagged up by @momomo_us on Twitter), the US retailer Provantage has the NUC 12 Extreme listed in three main flavors, just as was leaked before. There’s a top-end unit with the Arc A770M GPU alongside 16GB of system RAM and a Core i7 Alder Lake CPU, with an Arc A730M plus 12GB version (that also boasts a Core i7 processor), with the third variant sporting the lesser Arc A550M graphics card and 8GB of system RAM (with a Core i5 chip).

As you may know, current NUC 11 gaming models employ Nvidia graphics cards, so it’s an important change for Intel to be able to switch to its own GPUs (though how this is actually working out in practice, well, we’ll come back to that momentarily).

Pricing is pitched at $1,040 (around £850, AU$1,490) for the base NUC 12 model, up to $1,310 (around £1,080, AU$1,880) for the flagship machine.

Analysis: A good sign, or should we firmly put caution first here?

Concerning the pricing, it’s too early to judge on that front. At this point, the supplied price tags could easily be placeholders, so for now they can be regarded as a useful ballpark, but nothing more.

While there’s no stock available yet, the NUC 12 models being listed at Provantage now suggest that the retailer expects to have products to sell sooner rather than later. Basically, there’s a possibility we might see stock coming through in a matter of weeks (rather than months).

So, are these retail listings popping up now a promising sign for those who might be keen to get a NUC 12 as a compact PC able to make a decent showing of playing games given those discrete graphics cards? Well, who knows ultimately – it wouldn’t be the first time retailers have jumped the gun, and put item listings up way too early.

Furthermore, there are still doubts hanging around like black clouds over the performance of the Arc GPUs and their drivers so far. And the Arc Alchemist desktop launch has been seriously delayed, and a very odd affair all-around, with GPUs only available in China thus far.

Indeed, we recently heard some pretty worrying things about desktop Arc graphics cards running into serious hardware flaws, something that Intel denies, but clearly there are gremlins in the works somewhere looking at the launch so far. Early drivers in dire need of refinement appear to be the cause of the most egregious issues right now, so hopefully we’ll see improvements in that area.

In short, the delay of the NUCs is naturally wrapped up in the Arc delay, and the way things are currently looking, we’re not too confident that the next-gen mini PCs will be on sale anytime in the near future. We may, however, be wrong in that speculation, and here’s hoping that’s true – not just for ‘Serpent Canyon’ NUCs, but for broader availability of some affordable discrete Arc GPUs, too.

Where to pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

Samsung has confirmed its next Unpacked event will take place on 10 August, but we already have a good idea of what to expect. 

The official teaser shows what looks like the Galaxy Z Flip 4, while the Z Fold 4 has also been extensively leaked. But Samsung has also revealed new Galaxy Buds and at least one new Galaxy Watch are on the way, with the company’s wearables our focus here.

Last year’s Watch 4 Series saw regular and Classic models both launch, but rumours suggest the latter will be replaced with a new Pro model this year.

Pre-orders won’t technically be live until after the event takes place, but it’s already possible to reserve the watch in the US, and it’ll save you some money too. We also have a similar article for pre-ordering the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4.

When will the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 be released? 

The Galaxy Watch 5 Series is expected to be announced at Samsung’s Unpacked event on 10 August. You’ll likely be able to pre-order the watches straight away, with a release date a couple of weeks later. We’ll update this article once a specific date is revealed.

For context, the Galaxy Watch 4 Series was announced on 11 August 2021 and went on sale from 27 August. 

How much will the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 cost?

Nothing has been revealed with regards to pricing at this stage, but the regular Galaxy Watch 5 will probably cost a similar amount to its predecessor: 

  • Galaxy Watch 4 40mm (Bluetooth only) – $249/£249/€269 
  • Galaxy Watch 4 44mm (Bluetooth only) – $279/£269/€299 
  • Galaxy Watch 4 40mm (4G) – $299/£289/€319 
  • Galaxy Watch 4 44mm (4G) – $329/£309/€349 

If there ends up being a Watch 5 Pro, it may be priced similarly to last year’s Watch 4 Classic: 

  • Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 42mm (Bluetooth only) – $349.99/£349/€369 
  • Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm (Bluetooth only) – $379.99/£369/€399 
  • Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 42mm (4G) – $399.99/£389/€419 
  • Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm (4G)– $429.99£409/€449 

However, leaker Roland Quandt believes there’ll be some slight price rises: 

Samsung Galaxy Watch5
40mm BT ~300 Euro
40mm LTE ~ 350 Euro
Pink Gold, Gray, Silver

44mm BT ~350 Euro
44mm LTE ~400 Euro
Blue, Gray, Silver

Watch5 Pro
45mm BT ~490 Euro
45mm LTE ~540 Euro
Black, Titanium

*price conversion and taxes may make numbers differ from actual MSRP.

How to reserve the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 in the US

Unlike most companies, Samsung isn’t waiting until the launch event before letting you secure any of its new products – provided you’re based in the US.

Right now, you can reserve the Galaxy Watch 5 via the Samsung website. This doesn’t commit you to anything, but means you’ll be first in line for pre-orders. 

What’s more, reserving the watch between now and 9 August will get you $50 Samsung credit if you do go ahead with the purchase. However, that money can only be used when purchasing other products, not the watch itself, and it expires at the end of October.

If you also want to pre-order either of the phones and the new Galaxy Buds, there’s $200 off. This can be used to discount the same purchase, but it doesn’t have to be.

This reservation offer is in addition to the regular trade-in discounts Samsung usually offers. 

Unfortunately, that’s not available elsewhere in the world. The closest you’ll get in the UK is the option to register your interest, which enters you into a draw for a £1,000 Samsung voucher. 

Where will the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 be sold?

Samsung hasn’t confirmed which retailers and carriers will sell the Galaxy Watch 5 Series yet, but past releases give us a pretty good idea. In the US, look out for the following:

  • Samsung 
  • Amazon
  •  
  • (on contract) 
  • (on contract) 
  • (on contract) 

In the UK, these are the most likely candidates: 

We’ll update this article once any of these are confirmed. 

What to expect from the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Series 

If the rumours are true, a Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro are on the way.  

The regular model is expected to be an iterative update to the Galaxy Watch 4, but the new Pro model may introduce premium materials such as sapphire glass and a titanium body. This could increase the display size, but the rotating bezel from the Watch 4 Classic is expected to be ditched. 

Other rumours include the introduction of a built-in body temperature sensor, alongside a larger battery and faster charging speeds. But plenty of other key details are yet to be revealed – see our full guide to the Watch 5 Series for everything we know so far.

These Sonic the Hedgehog mechanical keyboards gotta type fast

With a pair of surprisingly okay video game movies under his non-existent belt, Sonic the Hedgehog is on a roll in a way he hasn’t been for a decade or two. But even the most obsessive Sonic fan might pause at the latest designs from boutique keyboard maker Higround. After all, Sonic is very much a console gaming icon. What’s the point of getting a bunch of stylish PC gaming accessories emblazoned with a Genesis-era blue blur?

Highground SEGA collection: keyboards, desk mats, tote bag

Highground

Conceptual issues aside, these 65% mechanical boards might have a lot of appeal for die-hard fans. Note the pixelated printing on the Green Hill Zone keyboard: Sonic himself is hanging out on the S key, and his life and ring counts are put cleanly on the space bar. It’s meant to be paired with the desk mat of the same design. There’s also a matching set featuring Sonic and his edgelord rival Shadow, if you’re more into the post-2000s era of the series.

For my money, I’m more interested in the keyboard designed to commemorate the Dreamcast, Sega’s fondly-remembered final home console. Note the wire frame that’s spread along the keys, and the arrow keys meant to indicate the controller’s colorful A/B/X/Y scheme. I especially like the orange triangle on the Escape key, which matches the power indicator on the console. Sadly it looks like there’s no matching desk mat for that design.

Dreamcast themed keyboard held behind the back

Highground

Assuming they follow the pattern of Higround’s previous keyboard releases, these will be standard 65% designs (note the full arrow keys) with PBT keycaps, Kailh Box switches with hot-swap PCBs, USB-C cables, and RGB lighting. The keyboards and desk mats will . As notes, there are no prices, but previous licensed boards and mats from this supplier cost a reasonable $135 and $50, respectively. At least some of the keycaps will be sold separately ($60 each), but again, will only work on 65% layouts.

Be warned, GitHub users: Hackers flood platform with malicious clones

GitHub users are being targeted with malicious copies of legitimate repositories, a cybersecurity researcher recently uncovered. 

Preying on developers who are either short on time, reckless, or just overworked, someone has been copying official GitHub projects such as crypto, golang, python, js, bash, docker, k8s, giving them names similar to the original projects, and slightly altering them in a way that they contain malicious code.

The cunning plan was first spotted by software developer Stephen Lacy, who after reviewing one open source project, noticed a malicious URL hidden within. A quick search through GitHub soon established that more than 35,000 repositories carried the same URL.

Original repositories intact

Another developer, James Tucker, further found the repositories were designed to siphon user environment variables, steal API keys, tokens, crypto keys, but also execute arbitrary code on affected endpoints. 

This kind of information can be used in identity theft attacks or ransomware campaigns.

GitHub has since removed the malicious repositories and issued a short statement via Twitter, saying: “GitHub is investigating the Tweet published Wed, Aug. 3, 2022. No repositories were compromised. Malicious code was posted to cloned repositories, not the repositories themselves. The clones were quarantined and there was no evident compromise of GitHub or maintainer accounts.”

While the majority of malicious code changes were made in the last couple of months, with some found to be dating back seven years. 

GitHub is one of the biggest open source code repositories in the world, and as such, frequently targeted. Developers are advised to always be extra careful when pulling code from the platform, to pay attention to potential typosquats or repository copies, clones, or forks. 

One way to make sure they’re looking at the legitimate code is to look for code commits signed with GPG keys of the project’s authors, the publication concludes.

Best Samsung Galaxy S22 series deals from Samsung

In the US, customers can get free Galaxy Buds 2 with the purchase of any S22 model along with enhanced trade-in credit – plus the 512GB model of S22 Ultra is $100 off, making it the same price as the 256GB version.

Best VPN deals for students 2022

There are many great reasons to invest in a VPN – from protecting your privacy online, to watching TV shows and films that aren’t available in your country. If you’re a student, both these things will come in handy throughout your time at university/college.  

Lots of VPNs have introductory discounts, and some companies have dedicated deals just for students. If you would like to take advantage of these, we have rounded up the best deals available right now.

If you would like to know more about the benefits of VPNs, you can check out our beginner’s guide to using a VPN, and read our chart of the best VPNs overall.  

You can also check out further back to school articles on Tech Advisor, and see our guides for watching BBC iPlayer and HBO Max from abroad.

Best VPN deals for students

Surfshark two-year subscription student discount

Surfshark two-year subscription student discount
1

From: Surfshark

Was: $336.70 / £308.57

Now:
$59.76 / £45.63 + 3 months free
(83% off)

Students can get Surfshark for a better price than the standard discount, with an extra month included at a lower cost. After 27 months, the price of this VPN will be billed at the standard rate.

The monthly price that is displayed on the website isn’t what you will actually pay, as it counts the free months as paid and displays the price excluding.

For two years of VPN access (more than what NordVPN’s student plan is offering), this is a great deal – and we have found Surfshark to be reliable and easy to use.

NordVPN one-year subscription student discount

NordVPN one-year subscription student discount
2

From: NordVPN

Now:
$53.88 / £39.48
(45% off)

Students can grab one year of NordVPN for either $53.88 / £39.48 per year, or $4.49 / £3.29 per month via Student Beans. We consider NordVPN to be our best all-round VPN service, and this discount is exclusive to students. It isn’t the cheapest VPN out there, but it gives reliable performance.

You will need a Student Beans account to sign up, which is verified with a certified university email address. US readers can sign up here, whilst UK readers can grab the deal here.

CyberGhost three-year (+3 months) subscription

CyberGhost three-year (+3 months) subscription
3

From: CyberGhost

Was: $506.61 / £389.61 a year

Now:
$89.31 / £68.25 for three years
(82% off)

CyberGhost is a great VPN service and its current offer is for a 39-month subscription. It’s touted as a three-year deal with three months free, but click through and you’ll see you’re actually charged for all 39 months at the monthly price quoted.

It’s a practice we want all VPNs to ditch, but since the renewal price remains the same and doesn’t get hiked up (as it does with NordVPN and Surfshark), it’s still a good deal.

CyberGhost is great for unblocking streaming services, so if that’s what you want a VPN for, it should be a tempting deal.

You’ll find CyberGhost in our round-up of the best VPNs.

PureVPN two-year subscription

PureVPN two-year subscription
4

From: PureVPN

Was: $262.80 ($10.95 per month)

Now:
$53.95 ($2.25 per month)
(79% off)

PureVPN’s latest deal is for a two-year subscription that will cost you $53.95 (around £44) and you get three free months on the end.

By our calculations, that’s not 82% off or $1.99 per month as claimed. It’s actually $2.25 per month, and 79% off.

It’s because PureVPN is counting the ‘free’ months as paid in order to make the price look cheaper. But it’s a good deal, made even better by the fact you can currently use the coupon code Pure20 to get an extra 10% off the discounted price.

As with all the deals here (and with all VPN subscriptions longer than a month), you pay for the full subscription up front – not per month.

TIP: if you’re using a desktop web browser and move your cursor off the page you should see a “secret” 5-year deal appear which works out at just $1.49 per month (£1.11), but of course the total price is higher ($89.95) as it’s for 60 months rather than 24. You cannot use a coupon code with this offer.

Atlas VPN Premium two-year subscription

Atlas VPN Premium two-year subscription
5

From: Atlas VPN

Was: $263.76 / £194.16

Now:
$49.19 / £36.21

Atlas VPN is a relatively new services, but it offers 32 locations including Japan, with Netflix support.
