Laptops are always known for their vast portability, they are portable cause most of the time we can carry them anywhere and we can use them wirelessly for hours that’s where they wins the race against desktop.
Microsoft’s new Surface laptop go is not less than a perfect laptop that you can go for if you are looking for good processor, space saver, light weight. It was launched last year with official starting range of 349$ for its base variant which features Intel’s i5 processor with 4 gigabytes of ram and 64 gigabytes of storage. But the variant you can buy starts at 499$. This variant features i5 10th gen processor of Intel with 8 gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of storage .And if you want more storage then you can opt for upper variant by paying a little more as Microsoft launched a number of variant with various storage options you can checkout below. All the variants are powered by Intel’s powerful i5 10th gen processor. This processor is quite powerful to handle your everyday essential applications. The laptops are quite light weight weighing just 1100 gm. You can’t even feel whether there is anything in your hand or in your bag when you hold this laptop. Microsoft did a good job, they keep the screen size at just 12.4 inches. This reminds me of the 12 inch Macbook Air that discontinued by apple in 2019. Surface laptop go’s screen size is well maintained by Microsoft. If you keep it beside any 15 inch surface laptop or any other 15 inch or 14 inch laptop you can’t distinguish the difference at a glance. They increase the vertical height and shorten the horizontal length. The battery is decent strong. It last for almost 13 hours.
Though the laptop is not aimed for gamers. If you have kids they might want to get some refreshment by playing games. But the processor is decent enough for playing high end games. And it is recommended to use medium settings for high end games. You can get 60fps with native resolution and low settings. The optimization done by Microsoft with the processor and the laptop is pretty impressive.
The camera provided is quite good at 720p resolution and you can use it for video calling or Skype meeting pretty decently. Though at this price Microsoft could have offered a full hd (1080p) resolution. Also it lacks any kind of facial recognition though they provided it on their budget friendly surface go tablet cum laptop (Recommended: fully functional laptop with additional gadget). They put fingerprint sensor on the power button. The fingerprint and the power button is quite fast and accurate. You can use windows hello to unlock the laptop but for this you have to use fingerprint provided with power button.
The accessory port provided are a USB type A and a type C. You can expand the ports with Microsoft’s additional dock that you can buy separately. You can charge the laptop with the charging as well as the magnetic charging dock also.
You can use Windows s mode where you can install apps only from Windows store or you can shift to Windows 10 by altering the settings from control panel. You can remove the SSD and also can increase but it is recommended to do this with the help of any expert technician.

1. i5/8gb/128gb : 499$
2. i5/8gb/256gb : 699$
