It’s fantastic value for money and extremely portable, but with smooth performance for basic tasks.

“Its dinky dimensions, improved performance and longer battery life ensure this remains one of the best value Windows laptops currently available,” we concluded. We’re big fans of the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2, having awarded it 4.5 stars in our review last year. You can double your storage to 256GB and still save £100, though that’s a slightly lower 16% saving than the 128GB model featured here. Omnisonic Speakers and Dolby Audio should see to your sound output needs. Talking of which, a full-size keyboard with large precision trackpad makes typing and navigation a doddle, while a fingerprint power button grants easy and secure access. That screen might be compact, meanwhile, but an unusually tall 3:2 aspect ratio makes it easy to get things done. If you're looking for a compact laptop that doesn't sacrifice performance for price, the Surface Laptop Go 2 is a wise choice.For that price you’re getting a compact laptop with a 12.4-inch touchscreen, an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. It's on par with the Surface Laptop Go (2.5 pounds, 11 x 8.1 x 0.6 inches) and lighter than the M2 MacBook Air (2.7 pounds, 12 x 8.5 x 0.4 inches) Dell XPS 13 (2.8 pounds, 11.6 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches). With a weight of 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 x 8.1 x 0.6 inches, the Surface Laptop Go 2 is easy to tote around. We gave the Surface Laptop Go an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5-stars - deducting points for its subpar battery life and lack of back-lit keys. Given the Surface Go 2's upgraded 11th Gen Intel i5 CPU, we expect its performance to be on par if not better. Even with two tabs playing 1080p YouTube videos while another pair streamed Twitch, there was no crash or lag. In real-world tests, the Laptop Go's 10th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU loaded 20 Microsoft Edge browser tabs quickly.

For storing important files, it houses a 128GB solid state drive.Īlthough we didn't test this sequel, we reviewed the Surface Laptop Go and liked its stylish, premium design, great display and class-leading keyboard.

The laptop in this deal packs a 12.4-inch (1536 x 1024) touchscreen, 2.4-GHz Intel Core i5-1135G7 4-core CPU, GB of RAM and Iris Xe Graphics. Microsoft's Surface Laptop Go 2 improves upon its predecessor with an upgraded processor and HD camera.
