The speakers are loud and good for watching a quick video but won’t replace even a cheap speaker for music. The fingerprint sensor in the power button is good, although not included on the cheapest model.Ībove the screen is an improved 720p webcam, which alongside excellent mic enables crisp video calls. The display has good colours and contrast but is not overly bright and is noticeably less crisp than higher-resolution rivals, including Microsoft’s other machines. The Surface Laptop Go 2 has only 128GB or 256GB removable SSD choices for storage.The Laptop Go 2 looks great in the new ‘sage’ colour, with an aluminium lid and deck, but a 30% recycled plastic bottom. 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 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.
