The Surface Go is, like the Surface Pro, just a Windows tablet at heart, with optional accessories such as a keyboard cover turning it into a laptop, if you like. It apes the established aesthetic and feel of the larger flagship device, with everything just sized down. While it may sound silly, picture the Surface Go as a Surface Pro that's been put in the clothes dryer a bit too long.

Though performance isn't particularly speedy, the Surface Go (starts at $399 $549 as tested) is a great mobile companion for less-demanding work, a natural fit for travelers, and an inexpensive option for classrooms. Most of what's familiar about the Pro is here (its design cues, sharp touch display, and built-in kickstand), just with more modest internal components. Microsoft is now taking the Surface concept smaller with the Surface Go, a 10-inch Windows tablet that's a shrunken-down version of the Surface Pro. Indeed, Surfaces have defined what makes for a visually-and functionally-exceptional laptop/tablet detachable. Over the years, Microsoft's Surface line has inspired a host of imitators in the convertible 2-in-1 market.

Microsoft says the Surface Go 2 will handle some gaming, but still consider a gaming laptop for the most intense PC games and tasks, like video editing.

This processor is designed for typical productivity, namely Microsoft Office and internet browsers. That doesn't mean the new Laptop Go 2, which runs Windows 11, is a slouch. However, the Surface Laptop Go 2 has less maximum RAM available. That gives a $599.99 laptop the same processor as the Surface Laptop Studio base model. The biggest change in the Surface Laptop Go 2 is the updated Intel processor. 12.4-inch (1,536 x 1,024) PixelSense display with 10-point multi-touchĤGB or 8GB RAM 128GB or 256GB SSD (removable)ġ USB-C, 1 USB-A, 3.5mm headphone, Surface Connect Port
