Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2-12.4" Touchscreen - Intel Core i5 8GB Memory - 256 SSD - Platinum (Latest Model)

We purchased this laptop for an extended trip where we would be traveling for 3 weeks with airplane, train, and car rides. Our 17" HP laptop is fine for short hops or single flights, but it can be bulky, heavy, and uncomfortable to carry on longer trips. The Go 2 really fit the bill for easy carry, big-enough screen, hard-drive size, and mostly feather-light weight! The built-in touchpad made use very simple at hotels or in trains / planes. It boasts a nice screen and ample battery life, and gets plenty of use at home on the couch since returning. It has a touchscreen, but I find that feature unnecessary with the built-in touchpad, and I don't like marring the screen with my fingerprints. I feel like MicroSoft really succeeded with this laptop for its category and price. I definitely got more than my money's worth, and I highly recommend this computer. We even used it for backing up a couple of thousand photos from our phones using the Send Anywhere app. Overall a great purchase!

Easy to setup and use. Super lightweight and easy to carry.

Everything my daughter needed for college!

Had to replace a Chromebook for my daughter. She LOVES IT!!!! She loves the touchscreen and how light weight it is, so doesn’t weigh down her backpack. It’s slim so doesn’t take up much room. She has plenty of memory to store school assignments and the has no issues connecting to school internet to complete class assignments. Her school requires kids to have laptops and this one has worked out great. She has been using for several months and she has no complaints.

So far, I like the laptop but it’s way lighter in color and it has a fan like sound? (don’t know much about computers) That’s kind of loud. I will do a month update. UPDATE i like the computer 8/10 though there are some cons to it CONS 1.fringerprint doesn't want to work half the time . 2.battery doesn't last long probably 2.5-3hrs top

Wanted a lightweight laptop and this one is just the size and weight I wanted. About 6 months in, starting having issues with random restarts but it only happened a couple of times so I didn't give it much thought. In the past 2 months it's gotten worse and I've exhausted all troubleshooting I can find. Have 6 days before 1 year of purchase. Have been out of town the couple of months and recently (while out of town) I was forced to do a factory reset. This did NOT solve the issue. Now trying to contact Microsoft for help.

Engineering and finance student here! Two years ago exactly June 2023 I graduated high school and bought this laptop for college, I thought it was just for a while and I would need to update to a better one but this is the best computer ever! For engineering that requires various programs only available for a Microsoft system it’s perfect, and for finance and excel sheets as well, no need to carry anything else than its charger and you’re good to go.

This is a compact and powerful little machine. I bought it for the uses of audio, movie, and tv streaming via wifi... I rate it high for ease of use and versatility for having touchscreen. I like this way better than a Chromebook, given that I'm a Windows PC guy. This is a powerful Microsoft machine. If you're not into Chromebooks, get this Microsoft device. Has WiFi 6, fast PC processor, and 8GB of ram.

Light, easy to set up, good for household use or studying

this laptop is great for someone who doesn't need an extremely powerful laptop. I find the battery life to be more than adequate for a laptop of this size. The touchscreen is fantastic, and very responsive.

Still working good

Slim, cute, perfect. I love it

Laptop no longer works so we scrapped it.
