The Surface Laptop Go is an imbalanced machine. On one hand, it's one of the best $550 USD laptops you can find because its 10th gen Core i5 CPU, 3:2 touchscreen, and metal design are better than anything else at this price range.

From the moment I started working on the Surface Laptop Go, I have fallen in love with it. The fact that it’s small and lightweight, and also has a full-size keyboard, and is powerful enough to get the work done makes the Surface Laptop Go winner for writers and journalists.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go provides portability and power

Slim and Slim laptop, good battery life, light weight and comes with excellent easy configure and start option of Windows 10 S mode. The only negative is 1 USB port only, which makes it tough to manage data and external devices.

Great laptop, and great for common usage, like for students and stuff. The size is perfect, the build quality is great, battery life is pretty good. There are a couple small issue's I found a little annoying though, like the CPU seems a little weak for this laptop, I feel Microsoft could have at...

Love it!! Can earlier then initially stated and runs great.

Great product. Works perfectly. Light weight. Fast.

I bought this laptop to replace my Surface 3 tablet that I have been using for more than six years. I loved it and it still works great, but I wanted to update to a faster OS and updated software. Since I never used it as a tablet, I decided on this laptop. So far, I am very pleased with it.

The laptop is great for doing work or just casual internet browsing.a feature I really enjoy about the product is the really thin bezel. Also the fact that’s it’s touchscreen was a great addition. Overall great product and prefer this over my MacBook Air.

I bought it for wife. Much enough spec for web browsing and any easy task. SSD makes quick response and its storage size and memory is great. Just some weak points are the power cable connector and less USB port and other connectors, but it works to make it simple.

Overall it is a great laptop, quality feels great and looks very nice. i like the touchscreens and speakers sound good for a laptop. My only wish it if it had the option for backlit keyboard. it would help during nighttime usage.
