What if there was a premium middle ground with good performance at an attractive price? That's right where Microsoft has aimed its Surface Laptop Go.įirst and foremost, the new Surface Laptop Go is a Windows PC with a variety of performance and price points that should fit many midrange laptop consumer's budgets. Those machines have some gorgeous hardware with nice-enough specs, but can't run Windows apps. An interesting subgenre of premium ultra-portable PCs is the upscale Chromebook, like Google's Pixelbook Go or Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook. The speaker system was also quite impressive, producing lots of deep, action-packed sound during the movie.Lots of HotHardware readers love to learn about, look at, and experience high-end portable PCs with their sturdy build quality, luxurious materials, and high-end specs, but not everyone has the budget to buy one for themselves. I will say that the 1536 x 1024 screen on this laptop makes for a flashy, colourful screen, if admittedly below 1080p, however it is a bit small and may annoy someone for its size. Streaming Avengers: Endgame on battery power, the laptop dropped to 78 per cent in the first hour, 59 per cent in the second and 39 per cent in the third.

This isn’t a problem, but it is indicative that this laptop would likely struggle with higher-end games or graphics applications, even at their lowest settings. Usually, we make the computer run Forza Horizon 5 to test out graphics capabilities, but the Surface Laptop 2 Go was unable to do this, crashing whenever the benchmark tool was run. Like the Acer Aspire AV15-51, the Surface Laptop 2 Go’s weakness is graphics processing, with only an integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU. I noticed this when using Canva, Gmail, WordPress and web browsing all at once, with the laptop stuttering and going slow at times when trying to download, save work or upload files. My job involves having multiple Chrome tabs open across two monitors and this laptop only started to stutter when put under significant pressure. Daily use-wise, this laptop didn’t struggle too much.
