Powered by the 10th-gen Intel Core i5-1035G1 (Ice Lake) quad-core processor, the Surface Laptop Go comes in 4/8GB RAM and 64GB eMMC drive/128GB SSD/256GB SSD configurations. To remedy what the Surface Go couldn't fulfil, the Surface Laptop Go was launched in late 2020 to offer a better entry-level, thin and light notebook offering in a standard notebook form factor with just a single processor choice to simply its positioning:. With so many models, it would seem Microsoft has every computing need covered - until they probably realised the Surface Go with its low powered processor was delivering more of a Windows on a tablet experience than as a serious notebook consideration for those on a budget. This series started in 2018, which we're reviewed, and had a small update in 2020. It's basically a tablet running Windows OS and made to look like an affordable Surface Pro when opting for the keyboard cover add-on.

Surface Go: A compact, ultra-low-powered and ‘budget’ version of Surface Pro.

Surface Book: The company's high -performance range of convertible notebooks with discrete graphics options (which are often overpriced). It's now in its third iteration, its most polished version to date. Surface Laptop: For those not looking to take advantage of the Surface Pro's flexibility and would rather have a standard laptop for schooling or at work, the Surface Laptop was born out of increasing the stable of options put out by Microsoft, without the heavier price point of the Surface Pro (and the Surface Book). There's now a Surface Pro 7+ for business and schools that run with more updated hardware than the version sold for consumers. It is has endured well since the first edition and is now in its seventh iteration. Surface Pro: This is their mainstay series of detachable notebooks for mainstream power users and office usage. Surface: Their first ARM-based convertible, which ended in its third iteration ( the Surface 3) that adopted an Intel x86 Atom processor and ran Windows 8.1 natively. Before we delve into what the Surface Laptop Go is about, here’s a rough timeline of how the Surface family has evolved (excluding the B2B-targeted series): Microsoft has been churning out Surface devices since 2012, and from the single Surface product SKU in its early years, they have forked out to offer a diverse series of devices.
