That leaves a finger free for a few changes I feel are desperately missing.Emulating premium models at a lower price point is always going to be a tricky balancing act, and it's one Microsoft mostly pulls off.Despite a few glaring faults, the Surface Laptop Go 2 is a decent mid-range option for those who need a Windows PC.Microsoft's cheapest clamshell laptop Starting at $1,199 $1,299 as reviewed Solid build and attractive design, Portable, Decent performance, Webcam is usable, Good keyboard and touchpad Keyboard isn't backlit, The base model doesn't get a fingerprint sensor.Īnd only has 4GB of RAM, No IR camera, Low-ish res display, Runs warm The Surface Laptop Go 2 starts at $1,199, but to hit that mark, Microsoft had to make some questionable cuts.Though the base version now has a 128GB SSD, it is still equipped with only 8GB of RAM and nixes the fingerprint sensor.For $1,299, you can buy the same model as our review unit, which has 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.Despite these few missteps, the Surface Laptop Go 2 is one of the better options in the $800 to $1,500 range, partly due to the lack of compelling alternatives in this space.
