What you need to know
Leaked renders have today revealed that Microsoft may be readying up a black version of theSurface Go 3, dubbed “Matte Black.” Curiously, this is not the first time renders of a black Surface Go have leaked asthe same thing happenedwith the Surface Go 2 back in 2020, though that model was never released. Will this time be different?
Microsoft is set to launch the 4G LTE models of the Surface Go 3 very soon, which may also line up with the launch of this new black variant as well. Additionally, and perhaps coincidentally, this year marks the 10-year anniversary of Surface, which launched with the black Surface RT in 2012. A black Surface Go 3 could be a good way to commemorate the date.

There’s not much else to say about a black Surface Go 3 really. It’ll likely launch with the same spec configurations that the silver Surface Go 3 is already available in, which includes an Intel Pentium GOLD 6500Y or Intel Core m3-10100Y with 4GB or 8GB RAM, and up to 256GB storage.
