The device also includes a new One Touch fingerprint scanner integrated into the power button, allowing users to sign-in quickly with Windows Hello. For the graphics, the Surface Laptop Go only comes with Intel’s UHD Graphics card. Under the hood, the Surface Laptop Go is powered by Intel’s 10th generation i5 quad-core processor, and you can get the device with up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The device features a full-sized (backlit) keyboard with a key travel of 1.3mm and a large precision trackpad. The new device features a 12.4-inch PixelSense display with an aspect ratio of 3:2, a resolution of 1536×1024 pixels, and 148PPI. It’s not the most affordable Surface, though. The new Surface Laptop Go is the company’s most affordable Surface laptop yet. Say hello to the new Surface Laptop Go - Microsoft’s new, $549 Surface Laptop device.

The system is slightly heavier than its predecessor, weighing in at 2.48 lb to the original Surface Go’s 2.44 lb.It’s time for some new Surface devices.

Strangely, the 12.4-inch touchscreen maintains the same resolution at 1536 x 1024 (148 PPI), while a backlit keyboard is still nowhere to be found. This is also the first Surface to support Intel-based secured-core PC for added protection. It’s not an everyday laptop for power users but could do well as a secondary laptop or Chromebook competitor.


That can be upgraded to 8GB, while storage goes up to 256GB. That’s still plenty affordable, and storage is at 128GB by default - that’s double the gen 1. The starting price of the Windows 11 system has been raised $50 to $599 (and let’s be real, everything is more expensive, these days).
