This laptop garners praise for its portability, sleek design, and suitability for educational purposes. Users have found it reliable for running demanding software applications, appreciating its compact size for college use and its ability to handle multitasking with ease. The touch screen and fingerprint ID add to its convenience, though there are some concerns over storage space and battery life.

  • 💻 Attractive design with color options and a high-tech feel

Cons

  • 🔋 Shorter than expected battery life
  • 💾 Limited on-board storage necessitating additional external storage solutions

Should I Buy It?

If you're looking for a reliable, sleek, and portable laptop primarily for educational purposes, this is a strong contender. It performs well for multitasking and running demanding software. However, consider investing in additional storage solutions and a warranty for peace of mind regarding the touchscreen. If these considerations are acceptable, it’s a recommendable purchase.


  • Works well as a school laptop
Color: Platinum Set: i5/8/128
I originally purchased this laptop to run adobe design software for school. I have had it for years now and it has been reliable and worked for what I needed to do. The drive space it has isn't much so I had to get an mSATA to USB drive to be able to store all my applications and assignments. Otherwise, this is an excellent purchase but I would recommend getting the warranty because the touchscreen is fragile and very expensive to replace. I used the warranty once and it saved my a couple hundred dollars on the touchscreen repair. ... show more

  • Make sure you are okay with the compromises
Color: Ice Blue Set: i5/8/128
I am pleasantly surprised as I really like the surface laptop Go. I feel like Microsoft missed a home run here with the base model having 4 gb of ram and no fingerprint sensor and then having to go to the next trim at $699 to get the 8 gb ram and fingerprint sensor. Result: ground rule double. Likes: Design: it is a nice looking device that stands out from the others in its category. The ice blue is attractive while not the most obvious blue still retains a nice look. The plastic underside does not detract from this either. Size: It is compact and fairly light. Screen: Despite the sub 1080p resolution, the screen is still attractive and bright with accurate colors. The 3:2 aspect ratio also makes this a hit because the screen is taller and easier to review documents, because you have to scroll less than a 16:9 aspect ratio. Color options: there are 3 different color options to choose from, options are always good. Ports: having usb-c and a is great as well as having the device charge from USB-c along with the mag connector for charging. Trackpad: this is on the nicest trackpads I have ever used as my fingers glide across it. Mouse movement is great. Price: the base model starts at $550. Fingerprint reader: nice and fast logon Performance: all models have an i5 processor and I think this is more than fine for everyday users, even the base model will give you good performance. Neutral: Keyboard: it is okay to type on for me and not as good as the pixelbook go keyboard because it has a somewhat mushy feeling when typing. Screen: it is nice but still it is under 1080p for a device that cost $550 and up. When was the last time you found a device that was not full hd for $500 or up? Sound: I think it sounds decent, not amazing, not a pro or con. Base Model: 4 gb really microsoft you could not have just put an extra 4 gigs in and charge $599. Why limit it this way? Also no fingerprint reader in base model as well. Battery life: it is in the 7-8 hours territory. Not amazing but not awful either. Cons: Keyboard: no backlight. This is the biggest con again when is the last time you had a device over $500 with no backlit keyboard. It makes typing in poorly lit rooms more difficult and a no fly zone for those who work in darkness. Price: on the highest tier model Microsoft is really trying to upcharge you just for added storage.$899 just highlights this device's shortcomings even more in that price bracket. Wrap up: I looked over a bunch of devices in this class and some not in its class. This is not the quintessential device for me but it is very good. My biggest gripe is the lack of backlit keyboard on a device in this price range. I find the screen is very nice looking but the sub 1080p comes across as tacky also. I feel they could have popped an i3 in the base model and then added the fingerprint sensor. Avoid the $899 model as that is too much to pay for something so compromised. Also consider: The Surface laptop 3 is something to consider if you are worried about the compromises being made. It has a backlit keyboard, a full HD+ display and is larger at 13.5 screen display. It does cost more, and also the bezel around the display is larger. ... show more

Equipo ultra ligero, con un tamaño optimo, adecuado y cómodo para trabajar. Lo que note es que la cámara incorporada no es compatible con Windows Hello, sin embargo, esto se compensa con el lector de huellas.

  • Some good, some bad.
Color: Sandstone Set: i5/8/256
Edit to original review: This laptop is absolutely horrible. I have not used it for barely ANYTHING because the processor is horrible. I used it to make projects with my printer and cutting machine. The bluetooth disconnects and ruins materials. It literally takes 3 hours to print and cut one sticker sheet because the computer freezes CONSTANTLY. I have zero problems using a different computer for these tasks. The touchpad is also so sensitive that you can’t even use it. You basically HAVE to buy a separate mouse. I hate this laptop and I am NEVER buying another computer from Microsoft. I was prompted to update the OS, and I did and now I can not even start using the computer because I get a MILLION Microsoft ads! How many times must I close Bing windows about Black Friday?!?! This is insanely obnoxious. Every time I change the default browser from Bing to something that doesn’t suck, it changes it back to Bing and I also get a million pop ups about more Microsoft products that I don’t want! It gives me pop ups constantly about emails I never set up ! Do NOT waste your money. This laptop has done nothing but waste TONS of time, money, and my last ounce of patience. I am literally going to smash it with a sledgehammer. Today. Original: I needed a much better laptop. Initially I was looking for a 2-in-1 (tablet and laptop). I watched some videos and narrowed my selections down. So I knew what to expect going in. Other reviews mentioned how the keyboard is not backlit. I thought this wouldn’t bother me much but now that I have it, it’s pretty annoying, especially because it is a common complaint and surely it is an easy fix, right? This was the cheapest of the 4 new computers I was looking at, and this was $850 with my selection. I probably should have spent a little more I guess. Then I realize that the screen does not detach like the Microsoft Surface Pro 7. Grrr. The screen doesn’t even fold back flat and you can’t use the Surface Pro pen on the screen either!! Gee, must be really good otherwise, right? Not so much. Comes with a ton of bloatware. If you want to use apps you probably use everyday, you have to disable safety mode, or only use Microsoft apps and nobody does that. I do like the aesthetic of the laptop, and the keyboard actually reminds me of my MacBook which has an ancient OS now. The touchpad is great, and so is the keyboard other than no backlighting. It turns on fast! However, this kind of freaked me out: The second time I turned it on, the laptop wasn’t facing me and I already used my finger to unlock it (I thought) but it didn’t work until I got in front of the computer. It made me wonder if it was using my face to unlock like my MacBook. Then it immediately said I was logged into a videoconferencing app that I have never used. I didn’t even realize that app was on this computer and I never created an account for it. I guess Microsoft does what it wants. I removed that app and many more. That was all a big turn off for me. But honestly the biggest complaint is the horrible graphics. My eyesight is not as great as it once was but honestly, the pixelation is bad and noticeable. I installed a photo editing app and even when blowing high resolution images up to edit, it looks worse than really cheap laptops I had 20 years ago. No exaggeration. I have tested this with hundreds of images now. Believe the reviews that mention this! My husband can’t stand when I watch TV on standard definition and that has never bothered me but this screen just looks distorted. I do like that it is small and lightweight. I can slip it in my nightstand and jump on it quickly for quick work stuff and that is great. But I am underwhelmed. Just really consider what the majority of reviewers complain about. If you’re considering any of the Microsoft Surface computers, other models have more to offer. ... show more
