Magnesium feels good in the hand, it stays cool, and when it does scratch it’s much less visible than with aluminum. Some find that color somewhat bland, but I like it. Like most of Microsoft’s other PCs, Go 2 is made entirely of magnesium, a durable material that gives the device its gray color. It’s an enduring and iconic design and a truly versatile form factor. But Surface Go 2 looks like a mini Surface Pro and that, of course, is part of the appeal. Which is kind of interesting, because that PC, with its 12.3-inch display, already feels pretty cramped to me. In fact, it’s considerably smaller than the high-quality Surface Pro 7.
Surface Go 2 is undeniably adorable and is much smaller in person than it appears in photos. All-in, you could spend almost $1000 on a fully configured Surface Go 2, which too much to pay for a device this limited.
Too, I feel that most Surface Go 2 users-certainly the those in the first two of those use cases I singled out-will want a Type Cover, which costs an additional $130. I kept these use cases in mind while evaluating Surface Go 2 and while writing this review.įinally, you’ll also want to evaluate the real cost of this PC: While Surface Go 2 starts at just $400, that version is underpowered, so most will want to upgrade to a more powerful and future-proof model that will cost hundreds more. I see three primary use cases for individuals: A PC for a child, a secondary device for an adult, and a consumption device that would be used instead of an iPad. You’ll also want to really think about why you want such a PC in the first place. But you’ll want to carefully weigh the tradeoffs. Surface Go 2 is an interesting option for those in need of a secondary Windows 10 device.
