However, some of the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2’s specs are comparable to those of its predecessor. The new entry-level laptop, for example, has a 12.4-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The display has a resolution of 1536 x 1024 pixels. It also has a fingerprint sensor incorporated in the power button, among other improvements.
The big improvement is what’s behind the hood. The 11th generation Intel Core i5 CPU powers the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2. More crucially, the new Microsoft Surface laptop comes with Windows 11 OS out of the box, as opposed to prior generations, which came with Windows 10 in S mode.
Users could only download and utilize programs from the Microsoft Store when in S mode. Aside from the processor and software updates, the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 retains many of its predecessor’s features. It still has a single USB Type-A port, a USB Type-C port, and a headphone connector.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 also has a unique charging connector, which the firm claims can last 13.5 hours on a single charge. It also has Wi-Fi 6 connection and dual microphones for a better experience. Platinum, Sage, Ice Blue, and Sandstone are the available colors.
