Hey Chaps! Do you think 4GB RAM is enough these days?? (and would you pay 100 more for 8GB?)

[TeamHahah]

The audio quality on that clip was actually phenomenal. Some of the absolute best i've heard from a laptop i think

[Evie]

4GB of RAM is criminal for any price tag, let alone for $500+. Even phones these days come with more than that in general.

Actually it's a perfect travel laptop. Airplane, hotel room, on bed, at coffee shop. Touch screen, good color screen and impressive speakers. Long battery life. Full desktop OS. I mean why would you carry an iPad with a keyboard/stand which would weigh more than this. Let's just say at any point in your travels you won't be saying 'oh ill have to wait to get home to my computer'. I mean same with a macbook air. I'd much rather travel with a thin and light laptop than an ipad or android tablet.

for some reason I love the Surface Go Laptop 2. It's something that just feels good and invites me to use it. Not the highest specs but it overall it's my favorite laptop ever. Of course I do have a desktop for heavy lifting.

No laptop should have 4 gb at this point that costs more than 350 dollars imo.

The lack of backlit keys are always a dealbreaker for me. I wish they will include the feature in the 3rd gen.

I would go for the Surface. I just like having a more compact laptop, as that makes it easier to carry around. It has reasonable, if not really great power for a highschool student like me, and doesn't break the bank the bank like a Macbook (still leaves a fracture). What's the point in having a laptop if it takes up so much space that you can't carry it around?

I think the biggest benefit of these laptops is the secured-core security chip/standard. Windows PCs have always been second class to MacOS or Chrome OS when it comes to hardware security, so it's nice to see Microsoft finally doing something about it. Most of anything else you get at this price is going to be garbage when it comes to hardware security anyway, unless it's a Chromebook.

Can't afford any but would love to have one by God's grace. Nice review 👌

[gggep]

Just go with the previous one. Cheaper and much RAM and SSD.

I love my 1st GO btw,

[arghyagupta]

if someone says this is the best overall laptop under this budget range then they clearly don't know about laptops or just doing paid promotion for that stuff.
The only thing going for this laptop is its design, surface design are just chef's kiss

[randyragsdale]

Thank you for another great laptop review. I appreciate how comprehensive your reviews are.

[hewandersaround]

The RAM question is one thing, but the fact there's such a huge price jump between the middle one and the third one for the sake of adding a decent amount of storage is ridiculous.

Companies are so parsimonious with storage for laptops nowadays. 128gb as a starting point is diabolical, and the cost of a unit with 256gb is insane considering what else you're getting.

Thoughts Tom?

(Also - what's the upgradeability on this? I'm presuming zero?)

[heroninja]

You can get an acer spin 3 for the same price, with 256GB on its SSD, 8GB of RAM and the same processors. While having more hinge flexibility (2 in 1 laptop) and stylus support. It even has a stylus that comes with the laptop, and is already pre slotted in the side of the device.

How weak do you want your hardware? Microsoft: Yes! We introduce you the new Surface Wimp

[waxsta]

Audio for the webcam is actually really good.

[doubleecpu]

i bought the 8GB RAM with 256GB SSD and love the performace for the price. This laptop works great with Microsoft cloud services i was able to create a power platform solution using this laptop.

[Johnny-uwoi]

In Germany the Surface Laptop Go 2 starts at 700$ (£576) and the one recommended from Tom costs 805$ (£662). So pretty overpriced for a laptop with poor storage and RAM, no keyboard light and less than 1080p resolution...

[sveet]

For me, it's the size and weight of this little guy, it's hard to find others with such weight and size for this price and specs.
