I actually own the Surface Laptop GO 2 (8GB RAM - 128GB SSD Storage). Bought it for €549,- and I think it's amazing. Not a hardcore gamer or anything. I'm just an average user (internet and documents) that also likes to watch some videos and this laptop is more than fast enough. Really enjoy using it. The materials used for this laptop are so good. It feels and looks really premium.

Refreshing to see reviewers not just bang on about specs but what it's like to work on. I have a Surface 2 Go Core M3. I use it to write scripts for my radio show and write my blog. for that, and the fact I do that in a coffee shop, and not worry about it making a noise, battery life etc it's perfect for. this laptop would be perfect for that also. Most people who game have a dedicated PC for that, or a console. For office work, research, Watching KZbin or Prime and Video calling, these are perfect.

Yep I just needed something that I could open up Microsoft word and not have my computer freeze because it's using too much RAM. Kinda true story. It's a premium device that just doesn't have high end specs to keep the cost down but you still get the premium feel. My old tablet had 2GB ram and was struggling to run the full version of office. Never tried the tablet version but I upgraded to the lowest speced go 2 tablet and love it. Like you said if I want anything more powerful I can go home and use my gaming beast.

As a student who bought the Surface Laptop Go 1, 4 months ago, the form factor and the overall experience is great. I managed to get the midspec model for $700 AUD ($500 US), and as such i dont think there are many laptops i couldve gotten for the price that are as nice to use for school as the Go 1. When i heard about the pricing for the Go 2 and the lack of changes there were, model to model, i think i got really lucky.

I got the laptop go last September and love it. The 1024p screen is fine, performance more than enough, built quality is fantastic, trackpad and keyboard are amazing, touch screen is useful. The 2 things that it lacks is backlit keyboard and only 5 hrs or so battary life. I am so disappointed that the laptop go 2 doesn't use 12 gen i5, just get the laptop go 1 for now, much better deal.

Graphics between the 11th and 12th gen are similar though, and compared to uhd graphics of the 10th gen chip, the Iris xe g7 (presumably 80EUs) is going to blowwww UHD graphics out of the water. 900p gaming on lighter titles would be pretty decent.

Went on Facebook marketplace and bought a brand new base model surface laptop go. Then went on to eBay and purchase a 512 GB SSD for $79, and in total I did not even spend over $300 and got an instant upgrade. Opened up the laptop go and it wasn't hard to swap out the emmc to ssd. Tutorials everywhere on KZbin. Now to get more ram, used micro SD card and in windows 10 you can configure your micro SD card to ram. So now I have 512gb ssd and total of 12gb ram.

It is the most portable gamefest I have ever owned. Yeah it isn't gonna do the microtransactions and the live service... ( Oh my god what a shame!!!) My steam and gog library is 2000 and around that. And my surface does great! So this laptop go 2 maybe ok for retro gaming!

Too expensive for what it is once you pass the terribly specced base model, and no keyboard backlight is a killer.

I can't speak for the laptops, but I've been running a surface pro 5 with LTE for almost 5 years. I wouldn't recommend the surface pro line of devices for anyone. It's a cool portable device with decent specs but simply isn't worth the money all things considered. The surface pro line is nothing more than a tablet that runs full windows desktop. It's built like a phone with everything glued together, and all components are soldered directly to the motherboard. So there's nothing inside easily repairable or upgradable, and in 2022 it runs windows so unstable (even on a clean install) I wouldn't bother figuring out upgrades even if I was willing to go through the hassle. Plus, these devices run proprietary microsoft UEFI firmware. If something goes wrong or you get a rootkit, it is NOT POSSIBLE to reflash the firmware yourself, short of using open source tools to build your own firmware for the device (assuming you have that kind of knowledge). You have to wait for Microsoft to release the next firmware update, assuming there's gonna be another update that is. So if anything breaks on these devices, you either have warrenty or you're fucked, and there's very little you can do. For the amount of money I put into this device I could've bought a premium MSI gaming laptop, which is fully user serviceable, upgradable, and can last a decade or more. I should just be happy the one I have has lasted this long. Surface Pro devices of the time didn't have a great track record of surviving past warranty period, and the one I purchased, which was ordered directly from Microsoft, came with a defective display out of the box. I drove 120 miles to the nearest Microsoft store, and the service guy helping me had to bring out 2 more computers before we unboxed one that worked the way it's supposed to. Yeah I know it's my fault for buying the damn thing. My bad.

Gaming is not a big deal for me (I'm old!). Portability, build quality and usability certainly are big deals. This machine does seem to tick those boxes. The one issue for me is the lack of a SD card reader. Obviously one can use a usb stick instead - it's just a little more cumbersome when you consider that the whole point of a little laptop like this is it's small footprint.

So I am going to give my 2 cents on why I think the Go Laptop is even a thing. I am a asset manager for a massive org and we obtain computers in a typical three generational timeline. When the time comes you open your contact list up to all the manufactures you have worked with in the past to try and see what solutions they can offer. Microsoft was one of them, and I remember it was almost impossible getting the Surface book's within a reasonable price range, especially considering I wanted to purchase these units by the thousand. They managed to tick off a few hundred bucks here and there but, I felt the table and ended up going to another distributer. My guess is they figured they needed to open the market up for pricing, a typical user working in the O365 space doesn't need more then 8GB and some cases can be just fine with 4GB. 699$ for 6 Core, 8GB Ram, 128GB is pretty competitive to be honest.

This one? Eh... I honestly would've been a lot happier, and a lot more interested in selling them, if the base configuration was an 11gen Core i3 and 8gb of RAM. Any basic productivity will run well enough on an i3, but there's some weak sauce multitasking on 4gb RAM. (Obligatory views and opinions expressed are my own and not representative of Best Buy.)

Specifically they mentioned 128GB SSD not being enough storage. If you do need storage then hopefully there is an SD card slot or use a USB with HDD. (If the USB port puts out enough juice)

If you *do* own a cheap laptop like this one, you *could* pay for Game Pass Ultimate & get access to games at much higher visual quality than any laptop at that price could give you (let alone for that weight & noise). Is it the right direction? I'm not sure. I know most kids/teens that want to be able to do more with their laptop (especially kids into gaming) after school/work would find this laptop *boring*.

I dunno that it's worth the upgrade. I got a surface go laptop 1 around 350 for the i5 8b. I actually do notice the resolution quite a bit. If that were a normal 1080p, I would 100% recommend to everyone

Why tech products are always more expensive in Europe that in the US? I watch the reviews, see the prices, go all happy to look to buy, see that is a lot more expensive that in the US and Canada, closes the tab all sad.

Yes U.S. do not include sales tax on advertised listing price of the laptop. Some areas of U.S. high sales tax and some areas little to no sales tax 🤷‍♂️

So Surface Go 3 or 4 could be interesting, when there might be a viabel option based on ARM that can compete with the M1/M2 MacBook Air.

I have this laptop the one I hate about it is that it says 8gb but in reality you only really get to use 1gb of it.. It uses the rest for the graphics or something

Valid question. How is this working properly on a dual core processor? Is it running a RT, ARC, or a barebone version of windows? I have seen equally spected budget laptops that just downright suck.

Dual core works fine on a decent ssd while doing just word processing etc. I have a 8 year old Celeron laptop with 2gb ram running w10 fine on an ssd lol. But anything more than 5 chrome tabs kill it tho. But word typing is fine

$600 is honestly not bad. Should anyone buy it with 4 gb no. At $600 you can either get a poorly built laptop with decent specs (i5/ryzen5 8gb 256 SSD) or a well built laptop like this one with bad specs.

I'm torn between wanting something super portable, but also still allowing some 3d gamedev work (low end). I'd love the flow but I end up wondering if the venting would turn me off on it -_-. I have an older surface pro 3 and it handles the super portable but I end up wishing for more power. Realistically I'm not sure I need it... but I wish I had it.
