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

I bought this laptop because it looks cheaper. However it was locked in Windows S mode and doesn’t allow any other applications. I paid $99 online to upgrade out of S mode. You need to be careful when you see a cheaper item. It doesn’t come at all cheap.

Ive been using mostly Dells for the last ten years and dont have much experience with Microsoft laptops, but I have a coworker with a Surface and raves about how great it is, especially the portability. So I ditched my Dell Latitude for work for a few months and tried out this Surface Go. Its cheaper than the Surface Pro, but lacks some of the cool features like the tablet mode and portability. But this is still an extremely portable laptop. Initially I was using a laptop bag for it until I realized how ridiculous that was given the size of the laptop, and traded out my bulky laptop bag for a sleek neoprene cover that the Go just slides in. Sometimes I dont even use that because the Go is so lightweight and slim. Even though the Go is thin and lightweight, it does not feel cheap and definitely feels like a sturdy laptop or tablet. I love how thi the bezel is around the monitor. It doesnt have too many peripheral ports, just one USB-A and one USB-C, a headphone jack, and the power connection. I use the USB-A for my mouse, which means there wasnt one available for a keyboard for when I work from home, so I ultimately ended up supplementing it with an external peripheral dock. The keyboard is excellent and much closer to a regular keyboard than a laptop keyboard, since it spreads out over the entire chassis. The trackpad is large, although I do prefer to use a mouse. The Go boots up super quickly. It has a decent processor and I have no delays in standard processing and productivity applications, even with multitasking. I even use it for some light gaming, although it certainly doesnt meet the system requirements of most of the newer games. Display is excellent and I love using it for travel to watch media on. The colors are bright and vivid, and it works great outdoors as well. This is definitely a great budget laptop if you dont need anything for heavy processing. I do find it gets a bit sluggish though when I have a bunch of Chrome tabs open.

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.

My son got one of these for signing up for college summer classes early, and he liked his so much I bought one for myself. This model has worked perfectly for online schooling for my sons (one college, one middle school) as well as my own work from home and career advancement classes online. I’m still using a desktop when I’m home but this lets me continue my work and son’s schooling when traveling. My boys play less video-intensive games on it as well. I highly recommend this model.

The laptop function is great, it is compact and attractive. No issues with functionality, keyboard is quiet and the graphics are sharp BUT it took me 3 days to figure out how to download the Chrome browser. There is a function called S mode that literally blocks any non-microsoft applications from being downloaded!! Once I got it unlocked everything was fine but I do regret giving them money for this product when they are trying to dictate what users can access. SHAME ON MICROSOFT!!!

Mu husband has a very nice laptop for travel, but the charger is a monster and weighs as much as the laptop. He did not like the weight added by the charger. I bought him this and he has been very happy with the performance and the weight. The charger is small and much lighter. I would recommend this product especially if you travel.

Excellent screen quality, smooth touch, the battery life is great, Im very satisfied with this product

La calidad es excelente y muy amigable en su uso

Charger already not being recognized it’s only been five months, headphone jack not recognizing headphones, and fingerprint reader selectively decides when to work

I absolutely adore this computer. It’s small but cute! The touch screen is a little iffy but the battery life and screen life are great. I love the color
