For your needs of mainly web browsing, Office apps, and Netflix streaming, I would recommend going with the Surface Go over the more expensive Surface Pro. Here's why:

1. Performance The Surface Go is plenty powerful for basic tasks like web browsing, office productivity, and video streaming. It uses an Intel Pentium Gold processor which, while not as fast as the Core i5/i7 in the Surface Pro, is sufficient for your workloads. You likely won't notice a major difference in speed for those uses.

2. Portability The Surface Go is smaller and lighter than the Surface Pro. With a 10" screen vs 12.3" and weighing just 1.15 lbs vs 1.7 lbs, the Go is even easier to carry around and use on the go. Since you don't need the larger screen for creative work, the Go's size is a nice benefit.

3. Price The Surface Go starts at just $comparedto$799 and up for the Surface Pro. For your needs, it's hard to justify spending nearly double. That extra money on the Pro gets you a faster processor, larger and higher-res screen, and more RAM at higher configs - but you likely don't need to spend for those given your intended uses.

4. Battery Life Both devices have similar real-world battery life around 6-7 hours for productivity and streaming video. So you aren't giving up battery going with the cheaper Go.

In summary, given you don't need the extra horsepower and features of the Surface Pro, I would recommend saving some money and going with the capable and portable Surface Go. It should handle your web browsing, Office apps, and Netflix needs perfectly well while being easier to carry around and costing significantly less. The Surface Pro is a great device but overkill for your requirements.

I suggest you get Surface Go based on your needs.
