With the excellent build quality, I’d have no issue tossing this in a backpack and taking it on the go. The Laptop Go is pleasantly light and the size makes it incredibly portable. In many ways, the Surface Laptop Go feels a lot like Apple’s discontinued 12-inch MacBook, although not quite as sleek and certainly more powerful. However, it feels really nice and other than looking a bit odd next to the aluminum, doesn’t significantly detract from the experience. The lid and the top of the laptop around the keyboard are aluminum, but Microsoft says it used a plastic resin made with 30 percent glass fibre and 40 percent recycled material for the underside of the laptop. That’s not the case with the Surface Laptop Go, which feels surprisingly premium - even with the plastic base.
Typically with smaller, lower-cost laptops like this, manufacturers cut costs with build quality and you end up with flex in the display or body. Once I pulled the Ice Blue Laptop Go out of the package, I was even more impressed.ĭespite being a relatively minuscule 12.4-inches (which isn’t that much smaller than the 13.5-inch Surface Laptop), the Laptop Go is remarkably sturdy. It was smaller than other Surface packaging, hinting at the sleek laptop within. When I saw the box the Surface Laptop Go came in, I was excited. Ports: 1x USB-C, 1x USB-A, 3.5mm headphone jack, 1x Surface Connect port.Battery: Up to 13 hours of “typical device usage”.Operating System: Windows 10 Home in S Mode.Camera: 720p HD f/2.0 front-facing camera.Storage: 64GB eMMC, 128GB SSD or 256GB SSD.Processor: 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G1.Display: 12.4-inch PixelSense Display, 1536 x 1024 pixel resolution (148ppi), 3:2 aspect ratio, 10-point multi-touch.On the other hand, it took only a few minutes of browsing on Best Buy to find laptops with similar guts to the Laptop Go with much cheaper prices. The Laptop Go is mostly unmatched in the Windows laptop space. On the one hand, I think the Laptop Go is an excellent computer, especially for fans of small form-factor PCs. Ultimately, the higher-than expected price puts the Laptop Go - and myself - in an awkward spot.
