With my standard workload and the screen set to about 200 nits, I averaged less than five hours of use between charges. Battery life is perhaps the biggest problem I have with the Surface Laptop Go 2, however. Microsoft Surface Laptop Go,12.4 Touchscreen Core i5, 1035G1, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD. The 12.4-inch touchscreen should also make the Laptop Go more usable for productivity apps than the Go 2, which felt pretty cramped with its 10.5-inch screen. Despite its small size and weight, the Laptop Go 2 is not a fanless computer, and its small fan is audible and often annoying. It’s still far from what we’re seeing with Dell’s XPS 13, which has bezels so thin they’re almost invisible, but it’s still an improvement for Microsoft. The Laptop Go also surprisingly accessory-friendly, with both USB-C and USB-A connections, along with Microsoft’s proprietary Surface power port.įrom the video and photos we’ve seen, the Surface Laptop Go appears to keep the overall style of Microsoft’s notebook line, but refines things a bit with slightly slimmer screen bezels. It features a full-sized Surface keyboard (with 1.3 millimeters of key travel), as well as a large precision trackpad. Instead, the Laptop Go seems like an ideal machine for kids, students, and anyone who doesn’t want to spend over $1,000 on a notebook.
Clearly, it’s not meant to compete with larger Surface Laptop entries.- 12.4-inch PixelSense Display (1536x1024)
