The 11th Generation Intel Core i5 processor in the Laptop Go 2 is plenty fast enough to handle routine tasks. That means the $599 configuration ditches eMMC storage and instead goes with a faster SSD for your storage needs.īut performance isn’t all about storage. Instead of using eMMC storage in the base model - storage tech that’s slow and negatively impacts performance - Microsoft is using solid-state drive (SSD) storage across the board. Microsoft made a key upgrade to every build of the Laptop Go 2 when it comes to performance. It’s the ideal size for someone who is always on the go and doesn’t need a large, overly powerful laptop, or for students who are constantly moving from one classroom to another. In total, the Laptop Go 2 measures 10.95 inches by 8.12 inches by 0.62 inches and weighs just shy of 2.5 pounds. It’s small enough to remind me of a tablet-first device like the Pro 8 or iPad Pro, but it folds open to reveal a full-fledged computer that runs Windows 11. The overall size of the Laptop Go 2 lives up to its name. It’s a subtle and nice touch that lets the user know they can use the fingerprint reader, and I appreciate the heads-up. Whenever Windows 11 is ready to scan your finger, such as when you open the lid and log in to your account, there’s a light-up ring that encircles the power button. For instance, the model I received is equipped with a fingerprint sensor that doubles as the power button. What I mean by that is that the fit and finish you’d see on a more expensive Surface Laptop Studio or Surface Pro is present on the Laptop Go 2.
There are a total of four different color options: Sage (the color I’ve been using), Sandstone, Platinum and Ice Blue. When I unboxed the Laptop Go 2, I was pleasantly surprised at just about every aspect of its design.įrom the colorful aluminum top, with a matching part aluminum and part plastic bottom, the Laptop Go 2 feels sturdy to hold or rest your wrist on when typing.
I didn’t get a chance to use the original Surface Laptop Go, so I wasn’t sure what to expect in regards to the overall build quality. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
