Single Review, online available, Medium, Date: Ĩ0% Microsoft Surface Go 2 review: Is this hybrid 2-in-1 worth buying? If that’s what you’re looking for, the Microsoft Surface Go 2 will do a sterling job albeit at a rather high price those hunting for the maximum value, however, will be better off with a proper laptop like the Honor MagicBook 14 or a Google Pixelbook Go. Indeed, the lack of performance means I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone for use as anything other than a second laptop – a companion device to use for the occasional job, maybe, but certainly not for all-day work. But the Surface Go 2 suffers from one big, unsurmountable weakness: it simply isn’t powerful enough. It’s the careful attention that Microsoft has paid to the finer details, though, that I really love about it: the top quality webcam, excellent microphone and surprisingly good speakers.

You can type for hours in comfort on the Type Cover keyboard, the display is stunning and the whole package is about as portable as laptops of any ilk get.

From a design and usability standpoint, it’s a gorgeous little thing. 80% Microsoft Surface Go 2 review: Tiny but not very mightyĪll of which puts the Surface Go 2 in an awkward position.
