Microsoft Surface Laptop Go - 12.4 Touchscreen - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Platinum

Ive been using mostly Dells for the last ten years and dont have much experience with Microsoft laptops, but I have a coworker with a Surface and raves about how great it is, especially the portability. So I ditched my Dell Latitude for work for a few months and tried out this Surface Go. Its cheaper than the Surface Pro, but lacks some of the cool features like the tablet mode and portability. But this is still an extremely portable laptop. Initially I was using a laptop bag for it until I realized how ridiculous that was given the size of the laptop, and traded out my bulky laptop bag for a sleek neoprene cover that the Go just slides in. Sometimes I dont even use that because the Go is so lightweight and slim. Even though the Go is thin and lightweight, it does not feel cheap and definitely feels like a sturdy laptop or tablet. I love how thi the bezel is around the monitor. It doesnt have too many peripheral ports, just one USB-A and one USB-C, a headphone jack, and the power connection. I use the USB-A for my mouse, which means there wasnt one available for a keyboard for when I work from home, so I ultimately ended up supplementing it with an external peripheral dock. The keyboard is excellent and much closer to a regular keyboard than a laptop keyboard, since it spreads out over the entire chassis. The trackpad is large, although I do prefer to use a mouse. The Go boots up super quickly. It has a decent processor and I have no delays in standard processing and productivity applications, even with multitasking. I even use it for some light gaming, although it certainly doesnt meet the system requirements of most of the newer games. Display is excellent and I love using it for travel to watch media on. The colors are bright and vivid, and it works great outdoors as well. This is definitely a great budget laptop if you dont need anything for heavy processing. I do find it gets a bit sluggish though when I have a bunch of Chrome tabs open.

If youre looking for a pretty laptop that doesnt work for anything, from a company that will stand far away from their products, this is the one.

Perfect. Feels so luxury . Perfect price. Does way more then the mac book that I was going to get.

I bought it to just use a regular laptop and I love it

Beautiful light weight laptop. Exactly what I needed for work. Easy to set up and sign in to all of my accounts.

I purchased a Microsoft Surface Go one year ago from a Best Buy in my area. I selected it primarily because the sales associate told me that it would work well for school and gaming. They claimed the laptop could handle games like the Sims 4, would run Microsoft Office beautifully, and make internet browsing a breeze. I paid $750 for this laptop under the assumption that it was capable of these things.

I love it! the fingerprint works perfect. it is fast. the touch screen works fine. the only thing the battery does not last all day as they say. but im really happy with this purchase.

Value for money

Im giving this four stars for everything because Im not computer-savvy and there may be issues which I havent encountered or they dont bother me. The laptop arrived quickly and I was able to get it going without too much trouble (again, because of me and not the machine). The only thing I dont like is having to Sign In all the time but Ill look up how to resolve that. The keys feel nice; they are not backlit, but I have a little bendable USB plug-in light which illuminates the keyboard but not the entire room. Im very happy with my purchase, and its a nice color, too. Not too pink.

I had auto brightness issues with this item. Returned it.
