Microsoft Surface Laptop Go - 12.4 Touchscreen - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Platinum

I am pleasantly surprised as I really like the surface laptop Go. I feel like Microsoft missed a home run here with the base model having 4 gb of ram and no fingerprint sensor and then having to go to the next trim at $699 to get the 8 gb ram and fingerprint sensor. Result: ground rule double.

This shipped to me in one day which was so nice because I needed it for school. I received the right computer and color. Its fast and very light. You can hold it with one hand. I think its the perfect size. I love how it is a touch screen. It is very secure I had to get out of the s mode just to be able to use my school website. That was a little annoying but besides that I am very impressed. I would buy this computer again.

I was looking for a laptop that I could use every day for school, and I thought this would be a good choice for the price, but I completely regret it.

I have had four Surface Pro’s and I still use one of them. I think that they’re one of the best laptops/tablets that you can buy. This is sort of, a bit like a junior surface Pro. I wouldn’t compare them on a one-to-one basis; the Surface Pro is far more powerful and it has more extras but mine was also 4 times the price of this unit. I mention this because while I can compare them, the Surface Go compares very favorably to the Surface Pro.

I ordered a new product and I got used. It was packaged newly but I know what I rodered. It was obviously used.

No inking support which is pretty pathetic. The cost of the hw for inking is dirt cheap. This thing is thick for its size but has on-board ram. You can upgrade the ssd but they use the 2230 format which is pretty expensive for anything over 512. This is so slow @ 1ghz. All the power options are removed forcing you to o ly be allowed a balanced profile without registry edits. Forced S mode is horrible, they also force you to create a Microsoft account to disable it.

I purchased this for work, I originally had the Surface Pro 4 tablet. My work consists of lots of emails, designing marketing promotions and ads in Canva, Microsoft Office (powerpoint, excel and word). So nothing too crazy. I will say when I was moving files over, side by side there is a difference in picture quality. The Surface Pro 4 tablet has a very sharp picture. The Laptop Go is a little fuzzier. I can get used to it and for the price, this is a great laptop (the tablet was about $1,000+). I can feel my eyes straining a little bit to read which may not be great in the long run, so I would say if youre not using this for 40 hours a week youd be fine. If you are, I recommend either getting a different laptop or upping the font to help eye strain.

Clean looking laptop, perfect size and weight:

I love this little guy. I first purchased the Apple Air and after using it for a week I just didnt like it. Dont get me wrong the Apple Air had a great battery life and key board. I just am so use to windows that some Apple programs I found harder to use. This 8 ram Surface go so far has been doing very well for my needs. It price is a few $100 less then the Apple and it seems just as quiet as the Air. The screen is pretty good not as good as the air but if you dont have them side by side you wont know the difference. I did find a clear plastic cover to fit over my Surface go on Ebay. The cover I got for the Apple Air was easer to find then the one for the Go. All in all so far this laptop seems well built and Im very happy with how well it works and how well its built. I love the color sandstone its very close to the Apple Gold. Good pick for the money! Seems to be very little fan sound. In fact I never hear it like I did on my older HP laptop.
