14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently announced the new Surface Laptop Go 2, which is essentially an upgrade to the original 2020 model, obviously focused almost entirely on upgrades under the hood.
Already available for preorder, the new Surface Laptop Go comes with upgraded specs, so it can be equipped with the new 11th gen Intel Core i5-1135G7, which replaces the 10th gen Intel Core i5.
At the same time, Microsoft also offers 128GB of storage, as well as a new version that comes with 16GB of RAM, therefore making the Surface Laptop Go 2 a more powerful device. The base configuration still comes with 4GB of RAM though.
The device starts at $599 with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but the base version doesn’t come with a fingerprint sensor. The top-of-the-range configuration sports 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a fingerprint sensor, and all the other bells and whistles, though it costs $1,099.
Windows 11 pre-installed
“This product has been meticulously crafted to deliver our Surface signature premium design and features in an ultra-portable format. Jump right into your flow with an effortless lift of the lid, Instant On, and Windows Hello through the fingerprint reader integrated into the power button,” Microsoft explains.
“You’ll immediately feel at home with the vibrant 3:2, 12.4-inch PixelSense touch display. An improved HD camera and dual Studio Mics mean you’ll look and sound your best when making video calls. The first-class Surface typing experience is uncompromised with 30% more key travel than a MacBook Air and complemented by the large precision trackpad.”
Running Windows 11, the Surface Laptop Go 2 is supposed to offer all-day battery life, with the software giant also integrating fast charging to therefore make battery anxiety a thing of the past.
The new laptop is already available for pre-order, with the first customers to get it on June 7.
