It is perfect for those on the go.Įven though it comes in four colours – Platinum, Sage, Ice Blue, Sandstone – it is a tad plain, but hey, arch-nemesis Apple has been making bland space grey MacBook’s for yonks. The Surface Laptop Go 2 has only 128GB or 256GB removable SSD choices for storage.The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 is a well-made, solid Intel i5-1135G7 Core, 12.4” touch screen laptop weighing 1.127kg. Still, at least the 64GB eMMC storage option has been dropped. Also missing from consumer versions is a 16GB option, ordinary users must stick with either 4GB or 8GB of RAM (and we'd recommend steering clear of the former.) Instead, both consumer and commercial versions of the Surface Laptop Go 2 must make do with more traditional TPM technology. Notably missing from the complement of hardware is Microsoft's Pluton security technology. Fancy some Surface kit but wary of new Windows? Microsoft lets commercial customers pick 10 or 11.Microsoft finally remembers Windows on Arm is a thing, reveals native OneDrive client.Microsoft revenue up by a fifth as world shuffles through the pandemic into the metaverse.Microsoft exposes glue-free guts of the Surface Laptop Studio.While The Register has not yet cracked open a Laptop Go 2, we'd be very surprised if the RAM is not firmly soldered in place. The battery can also be swapped out, although the part is a field-replaceable unit and so needs either Microsoft or one of its Authorized Service Providers to do the job. The inevitable Surface Connect port is also present. The figure is ever so slightly up from the 13 hours of the first version.Īs far as ports are concerned, there is are single USB-C and USB-A connectors, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The laptop weighs in at 2.48lbs (c 1kg) and the battery will last for 13.5 hours of what Microsoft calls "typical device usage." Your mileage may therefore vary significantly. The 148ppi display (1,536 x 1,024) is pushed along by Intel Iris Xe graphics. Spec-wise, in addition to the Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, there is a 12.4" PixelSense 10-point multi-touch screen with a pleasing 3:2 aspect ratio.
The refreshed Surface Laptop Go 2 starts at $599 for an 11th generation Intel CPU with a woeful 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. It's still not the cheapest in the Surface line-up (that honor goes to the Surface Go 3, currently retailing from $399.99 without a keyboard), however.
The original Go was introduced in 2020 as something for customers who fancied the Surface name, but lacked pockets deep enough to afford the full-fat Surface Laptop or one of Microsoft's detachable keyboard tablets.
