New Microsoft Surface Go 2 - 10.5" Touch-Screen - Intel Pentium - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD - Wifi - Platinum (Latest Model)

I'm using the Gold processor with 8 gb of ram wifi only. I never understand the bash about this processor. It handles spotify, web browsing, installing updates or Office workflow just perfect. This isn't the fastes neither the smothest experience, but for the size, price and overall experience, it just works. Fluid and decentBattery life is around 7 or 6 hours using 75% brightness and just wifi. But you can improve battery life with just moderate usage.Great screen, it looks nice and clean, sound is also great, not crazy loud but decent with clear voice and audio.Camera is top, better than many laptops.I would recommend a keyboard, The official one. Add a great value as a small computer but also work as a case for tablet use.I understand people using Apple for the great apps and amazing product quality, same with Samsung and the best speakers and screen outhere. But this device stay behind in those aspects but still it has a great screen and great media consumption experience.Surface give you the chances to use this tablet as a small full laptop with real desktop apps and it totally defeats Samsung and Apple.If you ever hesitate about purchasing this device, but maybe in the future you are planning to use a tablet as a small personal computer. This is the device to go.I'm writing this review using Surface Go 2 with Windows 10 Pro. Still perfect

When I was upgrading from my Surface Go original, I looked at comparisons of the 2 and 3. Since the 3 was a minor upgrade from the 2, I saved a few hundred bucks by buying the 2. I haven't been disappointed! I began by using it for research and writing at the National Gallery of Art in DC, but it worked so well it's now my primary computer at home as well. Of course, I'm not a gamer, and I don't edit videos, etc. I primarily use Word and Note, , Gmail and Chrome, and do online research. I just slip it easily into a small computer bag to take on the road and put it back on my desk at home. Works like a dream. I also use the stylus all the time to write comments on PDFs and Word documents. Totally satisfied that I didn't pay extra for specs and capabilities (and weight) I didn't need.

This laptop is very functional for a secondary device that I can carry around the house and do tasks such as email, chats, etc. I am still using windows 10 s mode which is limited. However, the mail app and news app are great.I am using the tablet with a type signature keyboard and a pen, and its a perfect little device that I plan to use during my commute when WFH ends.I am also an avid gamer, and the Xbox companion app works great to stream your Xbox to the tablet and play games. I think xcloud will be a game-changer as the screen is crisp.Overall, very happy with the purchase, but its not very powerful to do tasks such as development.

Outstanding product. I have really enjoyed using it. I loaded up my subscription to Windows 365 and to Norton Utilities/VPN. Neither slowed this PC down. Weight is not a problem. Relatively easy to work my online check book and an excel sheet at the same time. The only problem I have had is the charge outlet. The PC and charging cable do not always automatically connect leaving me to 'fool around' with getting a connection. Then if I move the PC like from my lap to a side table the connection will sometimes fail and stop charging. Secondly, do not lose the charger and connected cable. If so, a new charger/cable will have to be purchased. Battery life: exceptional.

I got this for my wife, as she needed something more then a tablet for opening and editing documents and responding to email and other social media for her business. This has worked out great so far. her tablet was an android and it has taken a little adjustment to use a Windows product, but you can get a Android emulator that run on the Surface and allows you to run Android apps. Highly recommend a Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard, as it is fairly difficult to use with just the keypad and stylus pen (option). It is really nice how you can use the stylus pen to write, just like to write with a pen and it types out the message for you. Also highly recommend you do not use "S" mode, which only allows you to down load apps from the Microsoft store. There are a lot of apps not in the Microsoft store. It is easy to do this, just search for setting up Microsoft surface to not run s mode in windows 10. Good device, with some of the usual Microsoft limitations, but you have options !

Using it as a backup for my work laptop - for cases when you are out of home, still need a full functionality with win10 (11) but don't want to bring the laptop with you. 8gb ram is enough, disk is fine + you can easily insert extra sd cards or sdd via usb3 port. The procession is a bit sleepy, so if you need graphics editing or other resource hungry apps running on it, it probably not fit you( I am mostly connecting to the office desktop via RDP and work through it in such scenarios). But at the other hand , the battery life is insane - 10-11 hours of actual work on one charge - at the next generation (Surface Go 3 with i3/i5) it is about 2.5 times lower than that!So so far I am very glad with my choice, not the cutting-edge stuff, but for the price of a simple tablet, it's more than I've been asking for
