You're not going to be able to run any kind of serious game on this laptop, and more demanding tasks like video encoding are likely to be frustratingly slow, but for everyday use it's fine, thanks to that i5 processor. Even when working with large images or multiple browser tabs, the Surface Laptop Go still sped along without a stutter, though we did notice the underside of the laptop getting very warm on several occasions (perhaps part of the reason the battery life here isn't amazing). We can only talk about the laptop we had to test, and it was absolutely no slouch in terms of browsing the web, streaming music, watching movies and so on. Considering affordability is one of the Laptop Go's strong suits, that's quite a low level in terms of internal specs. You can drop that storage down to 128GB as well, with 8GB of RAM, but the cheapest configuration only gives you 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
Our review unit came with a 10th-gen Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage.

You don't get a number pad because of the compactness of the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go, and around the sides there's a USB-C port, a USB-A port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a Surface Connect port – this can be used for connecting a variety of peripherals. Tipping the scales at 1.11 kg or 2.45 lbs, the laptop is light enough to carry around with one hand while you're on the go. The typing experience is comfortable and snappy, while the trackpad hits the required level of responsiveness for a smooth working experience. The chassis is plastic and not aluminium, for example, and there's no keyboard backlighting.įor the price you're paying though, we're impressed with the aesthetics of the Surface Laptop Go, whether it's open or closed. All of Microsoft's Surface laptops have a certain style and polish to them, and the Laptop Go is no different – even if some of the materials used are less than premium in this case.
The display bezels aren't the thinnest we've ever seen, but they're respectably svelte, and we also found the build quality more generally to be really good too.
