So, think of the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 as a good, reliable laptop. For example, where a Windows 10 PC idled at 10% CPU and 40% utilisation, the same PC now sits at 5% and 18%, respectively. It is a mix of new code to extract the most from the hardware and better memory management. I have upgraded a dozen PCs now, including a Windows on ARM tablet, and without fail, these perform better. Let’s explore Windows 11 further, as I am impressed with it. This is the Microsoft equivalent – a safe, average performance, student or consumer laptop running full-fat Windows 11 with all the benefits like touch screen, easy networking, USB device support, externally mountable drives, etc. It is perfect for those on the go.Įven though it comes in four colours – Platinum, Sage, Ice Blue, Sandstone – it is a tad plain, but hey, arch-nemesis Apple has been making bland space grey MacBook’s for yonks. The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 is a well-made, solid Intel i5-1135G7 Core, 12.4” touch screen laptop weighing 1.127kg.
