When it comes to buying products online, whether that’s a TV, clothes, PDAs & Accessories or even a something like a sofa, there are a general set of guidance or advice that you can follow to help you get the best product for your needs and also the best for your budget. As you can imagine there are tons of different options in the PDAs & Accessories category and even loads of options of products from Microsoft so it’s important to take the time to find the right one for you. The four areas that we want to delve in to a little more are the quality, the price of the product, what the reviews are saying about it and then finally we’ll look at an overall score which takes into account the other factors.
Quality of Microsoft Surface Go
Microsoft Surface Go scored an incredible 9.6/10 for quality.
As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “PDAs & Accessories” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is. A top tip when reading the reviews is to use the search function on your browser and search for the word “quality” in the reviews that way you can skip straight to customers that have mentioned about the quality of Microsoft Surface Go.
Once you’ve had a good look over the reviews you’ll have a pretty good indication of how good the quality of Microsoft Surface Go is, but we also have the following factors that you should consider to get an idea of the quality of the product you’re looking at.
- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.
- Specification: It’s a really good idea to look over the product description and specification section of the website, for Microsoft Surface Go you can read the full details on the John Lewis & Partners website where it will give you all the detail you need. It’s useful as you’ll probably already have a good idea of the sort of specs that make good PDAs & Accessories. Also compare these specs to other similar products that are in the same price bracket.
- Brand: Microsoft are obviously a strong and recognisable brand for making great PDAs & Accessories, so you’d expect Microsoft Surface Go to deliver to these expectations. But always consider the brand when you’re thinking about the quality of the product you’re going to buy, and where quality is an important factor to you, look only at those well known brands (of course only if your budget allows).
- Your experience with PDAs & Accessories: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying PDAs & Accessories, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Microsoft, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.
Price analysis of Microsoft Surface Go
Microsoft Surface Go scored highly with 8.8/10 for price in our review.
Price, a hugely important part of any purchase. Price becomes even more of a consideration when we’re shopping online because it’s so amazingly simple to compare the price of several retailers in literally just a few clicks. In fact you don’t even need to do that, we’ve run price comparisons for you in order to find the best price. The lowest price we’ve managed to find Microsoft Surface Go for is just £509 over at John Lewis & Partners.
There’s a lot of geeky analysis to be done on price, but what we find most effective and informative is to look at 3 different figures when comparing products and that is the average price, the most expensive and the cheapest. This gives you a really good feel for what the normal product would cost but also giving you an idea of just how cheap you can find it or the opposite, just how expensive some are. It’s also useful to look at the average of the products that fit in the same category as well as products from the same brand. So we’re going to look in more detail now at the price of Microsoft Surface Go.
Prices of products in the PDAs & Accessories category
We thought it would be useful to spend a bit of time exploring the price of Microsoft Surface Go and seeing how it compares to other similar products. And also seeing how much variance there are in prices of products in the PDAs & Accessories category. To do this we looked at all of the products over at John Lewis & Partners, there were a total of 18 products in the PDAs & Accessories, and of these 18 products the average price was £536.44, making Microsoft Surface Go below average at £509. We also looked at the cheapest option in the same category which was just £179.99 whilst the most expensive was £1169.95. So you can see there’s a huge variance in the price of products in this category, as an indication there were 9 products less expensive and 7 more expensive than Microsoft Surface Go in this category. So we thought it would be worth going into a bit more detail and looking at the prices of products from Microsoft.
Prices of products from Microsoft
So the average price of the 55 products available from Microsoft was £246.09, making £509 above average against the other products from the same brand. With the most expensive product from them coming in at £4749.00 and the cheapest at £3.49. We thought a good next step would be to look more specifically at products from Microsoft that fit in to the category of PDAs & Accessories rather than looking at all their products.
Of the 2 products from Microsoft in the PDAs & Accessories category, the average price is £839.48 making Microsoft Surface Go below average at £509. Again we looked at how much price can vary and found that the cheapest product to fit this criteria was £509.00 and the most expensive was £1169.95 so there are again a lot of varying prices with the products. In fact to be precise we found 1 products from Microsoft that were more expensive and 0 that were cheaper.
