Microsoft Surface Laptop Go review: The best-looking laptop $550 can buy
This new lower-cost laptop cuts a few corners to keep its sharp looks at a reasonable price. My usual caveat is — I’m not a video/YT headline expert, so tweak as needed.

Hi, I just got mine today. I noticed in the past when I’ve worked on surface laptops there is an audible click noise and a strong magnetic hold when you plug in the charger. However my Go laptop, the magnetic hold feels weak and I find myself having to push the charger up a little for it to actually charge and if the cable tilts downward ever so slightly, it stops charging.
Considering its a cheaper build than the regular surface laptops, is this a problem you’ve had? Or should I go exchange my laptop?

Return it before It’s too late, I suggest saving for a better laptop, that laptop will be so slow in about a year.

Take the $900 model of the Surface Laptop Go;
For an extra $270 (MSRP) you get a 13.5″ Surface Laptop 3 which has:
1. Larger Higher PPI screen (140 vs 201ppi) (biggie – Cannot believe the GO is sub FHD)
2. A better IRIS PLUS graphics card (Super bigggie)
3. Keyboard backlighting (Super biggie)
4. Windows Hello Face camera (a biggie)
5. Surface Pen support (not a biggie)
6. Aluminum all round (not a biggie)
7. A glass trackpad (vs plastic)
I cannot believe that the GO is crippled in so many ways just for a $270 difference in price. You must want portability real bad to buy the GO. I was okay with most of the omissions above until I found out that it had no backlit keyboard….that was a real shocker from Microsoft. Just FYI I own a Surface Book 2 15″ i7, 16GB, 512GB so I am a surface supporter. But this backlit keys thing…….super deal breaker.

The 64 emmc variant should not exist. Not fit for purpose. The price premium for 256 variant is a rip off and really great laptops exist at that price. I’m afraid lots of people are going to buy the cheap one not really knowing much about IT and that is unforgivable nvme cannot be upgraded making this a throwaway device that won’t last.

At 500$ I got 1 tb storage 8gb ram with free slots for upgrade and 2gb v ram and it’s much faster than this😐🤔

@Ashley Marie Asus Vivobook Max x541uv , it has good performance but the screen has faded colors and wifi/bluetooth card is cheap and didn’t lasted long for me

Why dont they have user upgradeable RAM and SSD? Such a dumb move

To much focus on cosmetics and material choice. I rather it be all plastic but the base model is 256gb of storage and 6gb of ram. Build quality means nothing for a budget laptop so ideally money shouldn’t be spent on that aspect. That’s like making a lamborghini body but giving it a V6 with 16inch tires… looks good but has no real reason to. I would kind of understand if it was apple doing this since everyone knows what a macbook is. Very few people even know microsoft sells their own branded laptops.

they market this as a $550 laptop, but when you actually bump up the specs so it is a ACTUAL USABLE LAPTOP, it get to $900, in which you can get a far supirior laptop with a bigger screen.

It would make way more sense if they bring the tier down and get rid of the 4GB model.
$549 for 8GB RAM 128GB SSD
$649 for 8GB RAM 256GB SSD
$899 for 16GB RAM 256GB SSD
*Or maybe keep the storage configuration and switch the eMMC with proper SSD.
4GB make sense for Chromebooks but never on Windows 10. I honestly don’t see any point of buying 4GB Windows machine if you just need to do Chromebook stuffs. They own Windows 10 so they don’t need to pay for licensing for it. Why still put a premium on “budget” product?

@J Bali Nah, 4GB RAM is good for nobody. Even as a student, you’re doing research, you got several tabs and documents open and maybe another desktop on the side for your entertainment stuff. Your system will be bogged down.

Hands down the most well polished turd of 2020. I’m assuming you can’t upgrade anything on it yourself like RAM or SSD?

The Surface brand deserves to fail selling these asinine hardware specs. These “go” variants are going straight into the trash after couple years of use

If they offered 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD and touch with at the cheapest price point they’d sell a lot of these.

Surface pro is great but these specs are terrible. If your not a gamer nor need windows specific software then go for a chromebook and you’ll get more value for your dollar. If you are a gamer or require windows for serious software then the surface go is not for you anyway.
