Microsoft Surface Laptop Go - 12.4 Touchscreen - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Platinum

Didnt want to wait two days so I went brick and motor to buy this today. Laptop manufacturers take note, THIS is how you do a cost down version of a premium product. I got the 128Gb model and I would highly recommend not getting the $550 unless thats the absolute limit on what you can spend.

This laptop was purchased right before Christmas & less than 2 weeks with it it is already having software issues. Please do not waste your time with this laptop, or any Microsoft products that is using Windows 10

My husband loves this new laptop. It is thin and goes everywhere, and is great value for the price!

First off, realize that this is a premium device, even if its aims are to be the lower end of the line of Surfaces. Its maybe not as nice as the cheapest Macbook but its also cheaper than that, and its more useful than the tiny Surface Go. For most people, this is a good middle-of-the-road computer that still feels like a nice device and not at all cheap. Just keep in mind that this is a light-duty computer only - use it for email, writing papers, etc. Not coding, Photoshop, etc.

Piece of garbage. Flickering screen and charger that wont charge. Sent it back after hours on the phone with Microsoft customer service, only to receive a new device with the exact same issues. They also required a hold for the full amount of the device (about $700) while the new one was being mailed and the original one was being returned. Very frustrating and inconvenient experience.

I bought it to just use a regular laptop and I love it

It’s the best

Edit to original review: This laptop is absolutely horrible. I have not used it for barely ANYTHING because the processor is horrible. I used it to make projects with my printer and cutting machine. The bluetooth disconnects and ruins materials. It literally takes 3 hours to print and cut one sticker sheet because the computer freezes CONSTANTLY. I have zero problems using a different computer for these tasks. The touchpad is also so sensitive that you can’t even use it. You basically HAVE to buy a separate mouse. I hate this laptop and I am NEVER buying another computer from Microsoft. I was prompted to update the OS, and I did and now I can not even start using the computer because I get a MILLION Microsoft ads! How many times must I close Bing windows about Black Friday?!?! This is insanely obnoxious. Every time I change the default browser from Bing to something that doesn’t suck, it changes it back to Bing and I also get a million pop ups about more Microsoft products that I don’t want! It gives me pop ups constantly about emails I never set up ! Do NOT waste your money. This laptop has done nothing but waste TONS of time, money, and my last ounce of patience. I am literally going to smash it with a sledgehammer. Today.

I purchased this for work, I originally had the Surface Pro 4 tablet. My work consists of lots of emails, designing marketing promotions and ads in Canva, Microsoft Office (powerpoint, excel and word). So nothing too crazy. I will say when I was moving files over, side by side there is a difference in picture quality. The Surface Pro 4 tablet has a very sharp picture. The Laptop Go is a little fuzzier. I can get used to it and for the price, this is a great laptop (the tablet was about $1,000+). I can feel my eyes straining a little bit to read which may not be great in the long run, so I would say if youre not using this for 40 hours a week youd be fine. If you are, I recommend either getting a different laptop or upping the font to help eye strain.

Lightweight, perfect size, touchscreen, great price!
