Whichever model you choose, every Surface Laptop Go has the same Intel Core i5-1035G1 CPU. Windows 10 alone can gobble up to a third of that capacity, so it’s the pricier models that make more sense: both have a healthier 8GB of RAM, and either 128GB or 256GB of faster SSD storage.
The entry-level Go does without, and none of the three can use the built-in 720p webcam for Windows Hello facial recognition.Īt its most basic, the Go ships with a lowly 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC flash storage. The one luxury is the power button, which doubles as a fingerprint sensor – if you buy the step-up model or this top-spec machine, anyway.
It’s a shame, as the expansive touchpad is superb, with pinpoint tracking and reassuringly clicky response. This feels like a cost cutting too far, considering almost every rival in the same price bracket comes with illuminated keys. The bigger issue is that Microsoft has decided not to bother with a backlit keyboard. Rubberised feet run the whole width of the laptop, too, keeping it stable and wobble-free when working. The soft-touch keys are springy with a decent amount of travel, with the only real size compromise being the half-height up and down arrow keys. Tapping out this review on the Go’s full-size keyboard was largely a pleasure – during daylight hours, anyway.
