Microsoft has launched the successor to its entry-level Surface Laptop Go – the Surface Laptop Go 2 – starting at $599 (Rs 46,491). The Surface Go 2 offers more storage with its base model than the original Surface Go, launched in 2020. It is also $50 ( roughly Rs 3,880) costlier than its predecessor.
The Surface Laptop Go 2 features a 12.4-inch PixelSense display with an aspect ratio of 3:2 and a 1536×1024 pixel resolution. The display can reach a maximum brightness of 330 nits. The laptop has a fingerprint sensor embedded inside the power button, but it is not available in the base configuration. Further, the laptop comes equipped with OmniSonic speakers with Dolby Atmos support. There is a 720P camera on the front for video calls and dual far-field studio mics.
Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 is powered by the 11th gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor. Compared to the base model of the Surface Laptop Go, which came with 64GB of internal storage, the Surface Go 2 comes with a minimum of 128GB SSD, and there is another model which offers 256GB of SSD storage, and they are removable. Moreover, the laptop offers two RAM options — 4GB and 8GB LPDDR4X RAM.
The laptop comes in three configurations — 4GB+128GB, 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB. There are four colourways to choose from – Platinum, Sage, Ice Blue and Sandstone. The base model comes at $599, while the 8GB+128GB configuration costs 699 and the high-end storage configuration is priced at $799.
The second-generation Surface Go Laptop boasts a 41WHr battery, lasting up to 13.5 hours on a single charge. The laptop comes with a 39W power adapter. It supports Bluetooth 5.1 and WiFi 6. Connectivity options include a USB-C port, a USB-A port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Surface Connect port.
Microsoft says that the Surface Laptop Go 2’s components are user-replaceable. So users can easily replace the faulty components, including the display, trackpad, or keyboard, without any professional.
The Surface Laptop Go 2 is available for pre-orders in the United States, and is scheduled to go on sale from June 7.
