Pricey once kitted up with accessories and ideal components
The Surface Go 2 is one of the most fun devices Microsoft currently makes, but Windows 10 in this form factor creates a number of trade-offs.At £399 it's by far the cheapest Surface PC, but at this price performance is severely compromised. As such I'd re...

Smaller bezels than original model,Great (optional) Type Cover keyboard makes this a mini laptop alternative,Battery life solid for streaming
Accessories up the price a lot,Overall battery life not the very best going,Windows 10 S Mode has its limitations,Only one USB-C port
The Surface Go 2 is a nip and tuck of the original model. We prefer the more impactful screen (although the bezels still aren't tiny). The battery life was pretty reasonable in our tests too. And the overall build and kick-stand design make it versatile.A...
Excellent screen, Surprisingly usable keyboard, High quality webcam
Not fast enough
All of which puts the Surface Go 2 in an awkward position. From a design and usability standpoint, it's a gorgeous little thing. You can type for hours in comfort on the Type Cover keyboard, the display is stunning and the whole package is about as portab...

Premium design, Affordable, Can run will Windows 10, Very good battery life
No Touch Cover or stylus included, Base model's specs are weak, Windows Store still too bare
The Microsoft Surface Go 2 is an excellent affordable Windows 10 tablet that features a premium design found in the company's more expensive devices. It offers a slight bump in performance over the original, but it is still rather underpowered – especiall...

Even if it's no powerhouse, the Surface Go 2 sets a new standard for cheap Windows 2-in-1s. By tweaking and improving the already-accomplished Surface Go, without unduly jacking up the price, it's even more successful at replicating the qualities of recen...

slim, light, great screen, great kickstand, good speakers, USBC, Windows Hello, great keyboard, full Windows 10 Home, microSD card reader, wifi 6, Bluetooth 5
relatively short battery life, no USBA ports, £100 keyboard essential but not included, relatively slow performance
The Surface Go 2 once again proves that budget Windows PCs can be good.It won't win any awards for speed, but it will handle most things without locking up or driving you nuts. The magnesium body and 10.5in screen are far better than what you'll get elsew...
Excellent build quality and design, Long battery life, Bright and colorful display, LTE option available at launch,
Pricey after affordable base model, Type Cover not included, Low performance for the price
The Surface Go 2 has a bigger screen, longer battery life and better performance than its predecessor, though you need to prepare to exit budget territory to get one of the better configurations...
I'll have to test out the battery life and conduct some benchmark tests before delivering a final verdict and review - which should arrive early next week - but so far, this is looking like a great option for those who want a device solely for casual web...
Compact and lightweight, Feels well-built, Display gets bright enough for use in most settings, Outstanding webcam video quality for video calls, Keyboard feels good to type on
Small screen isn't ideal for multitasking, Low-power CPU and integrated graphics can't handle demanding workloads, Only one USB port, Small touchpad
