There's a 720p webcam embedded at the top of the monitor, and we're also pleased to see a fingerprint sensor built into the power button to make logging in easier (though this isn't available on the cheapest configuration). You don't get a number pad because of the compactness of the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go, and around the sides there's a USB-C port, a USB-A port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a Surface Connect port – this can be used for connecting a variety of peripherals.

Tipping the scales at 1.11 kg or 2.45 lbs, the laptop is light enough to carry around with one hand while you're on the go. The typing experience is comfortable and snappy, while the trackpad hits the required level of responsiveness for a smooth working experience. The chassis is plastic and not aluminium, for example, and there's no keyboard backlighting.įor the price you're paying though, we're impressed with the aesthetics of the Surface Laptop Go, whether it's open or closed. All of Microsoft's Surface laptops have a certain style and polish to them, and the Laptop Go is no different – even if some of the materials used are less than premium in this case. The display bezels aren't the thinnest we've ever seen, but they're respectably svelte, and we also found the build quality more generally to be really good too.
