Microsoft has announced that the product is available for pre-order right now, with shipments expected to take place starting June 7. The product is a relatively minor refresh over its predecessor, featuring an 11th-generation Intel Core i5, up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, and the debut of a new Sage colorway.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>The Surface Laptop Go 2 is identical to the original on the outside.  It features the same 12.4-inch &#8220;PixelSense&#8221; touch display, a fingerprint reader on the models with 8GB RAM, and is built out of a mixture of aluminum and polycarbonate materials.  Like the original, it doesn&#8217;t have a backlit keyboard or Windows Hello facial recognition, though Microsoft is touting an improved webcam for video calls.<\/p>\n<p>You can read our Surface Laptop Go vs.  Surface Laptop Go 2 guide for a deeper comparison. <\/p>\n<p>The bigger changes are on the inside and will help to reduce Microsoft&#8217;s carbon footprint via easier-to-repair products.  Laptop Go 2 joins the Surface Laptop Studio in being one of Microsoft&#8217;s &#8220;repair friendly&#8221; devices, with more components that can be removed and replaced by authorized technicians.  These components include the keyboard and trackpad, display, battery, Surflink cable, and the SSD.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-imageGallery-block-7\" class=\"slice-container inline-gallery-wrapper imageGallery-block-7\">\n<div class=\"inline-gallery first-slide-only\" data-reactroot=\"\">\n<p>Image <!-- -->1<!-- --> of <!-- -->3<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:hidden\" class=\"inline-gallery__items\">\n<div style=\"-webkit-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;-webkit-transition:all 0s ease 0s;transition:all 0s ease 0s;-webkit-transform:translate(0%, 0);transform:translate(0%, 0);direction:ltr;display:flex;will-change:transform\" class=\"react-swipeable-view-container\">\n<div style=\"width:100%;-webkit-flex-shrink:0;flex-shrink:0;overflow:auto\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"true\"><figcaption class=\"caption-credit__figcaption\"><span class=\"caption-credit__caption\">Surface Laptop Go 2 in Sage<!-- --> <\/span><span class=\"caption-credit__credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: <!-- -->Microsoft<!-- -->)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Image <!-- -->1<!-- --> of <!-- -->3<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 class=\"item__title\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"width:100%;-webkit-flex-shrink:0;flex-shrink:0;overflow:auto\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"true\"><figcaption class=\"caption-credit__figcaption\"><span class=\"caption-credit__caption\">Surface Laptop Go 2 in Sage<!-- --> <\/span><span class=\"caption-credit__credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: <!-- -->Microsoft<!-- -->)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Image <!-- -->1<!-- --> of <!-- -->3<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 class=\"item__title\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"width:100%;-webkit-flex-shrink:0;flex-shrink:0;overflow:auto\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"true\"><figcaption class=\"caption-credit__figcaption\"><span class=\"caption-credit__caption\">Surface Laptop Go 2 on the Inside<!-- --> <\/span><span class=\"caption-credit__credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: <!-- -->Microsoft<!-- -->)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Image <!-- -->1<!-- --> of <!-- -->3<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 class=\"item__title\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"articletable\">\n<table>\n<caption>Surface Laptop Go 2 specifications<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"firstcol \">Category<\/th>\n<th>Spec<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">OS<\/td>\n<td>Windows 11 Home<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Processor<\/td>\n<td>Intel Core i5-1135G7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">RAM<\/td>\n<td>4GB or 8GB LPDDR4x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Graphics<\/td>\n<td>Intel Iris Xe Graphics<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Storage<\/td>\n<td>128GB or 256GB SSD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Display<\/td>\n<td>12.4-inch 1536 x 1024 (148 ppi) 3: 2 PixelSense Touch display<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Ports<\/td>\n<td>1x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 3.5mm audio jack, Surface Connect port<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Audio<\/td>\n<td>Omnisonic Speakers with Dolby-Audio Premium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Wireless<\/td>\n<td>Wi-Fi 6: 802.11ax, Bluetooth 5.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Room<\/td>\n<td>720p HD f2.0 camera<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Security<\/td>\n<td>Windows Hello fingerprint<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Battery<\/td>\n<td>Up to 13.5 hours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Dimensions<\/td>\n<td>10.95 x 8.12 x 0.62 inches<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Weight<\/td>\n<td>2.48 lbs (1,127g)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Color<\/td>\n<td>Platinum, Ice Blue, Sandstone, Sage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Availability<\/td>\n<td>June 7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">Price<\/td>\n<td>$ 599, $ 699, $ 799<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Intel Core i5 on the inside is a last-generation chip but still plenty powerful for this laptop&#8217;s target demographic.  It&#8217;s a nice upgrade over the 10th-gen chip in the first Laptop Go, with better graphics performance and battery efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has cut the original entry-level model with 64GB of eMMC storage, and the base model of Laptop Go 2 has 128GB of SSD storage right out of the gate.  Because of this, its starting price has crept up to $ 599, but you are getting more storage, better graphics, and better performance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"articletable\">\n<table>\n<caption>Price list<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"firstcol \">Price<\/th>\n<th>SKU<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">$ 599<\/td>\n<td>Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">$ 699<\/td>\n<td>Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"firstcol \">$ 799<\/td>\n<td>Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Finally, Microsoft notes that the Surface Laptop Go 2 is the company&#8217;s first &#8220;Secured-Core PC&#8221; to hit the market.

Microsoft usually ships a handful of Surface product refreshes in the spring, but we&#8217;re just getting an update to the Laptop Go line this time.<\/p>\n<p>Surface Laptop Go 2 is available for pre-order today<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span> in select markets, with shipping expected to start next week from June 7.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featured_product_block featured_block_horizontal\" data-id=\"05c46342-d1ec-4de0-8cc0-3034f2acc779\">\n<div class=\"product-image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" style=\"padding-top:88.46%\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"featured_image lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/windowscentral\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL-970-80.jpg.webp 970w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL.jpg\"\/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"featured_image lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/windowscentral\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL-970-80.jpg 970w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/A8YL4yPQPG7p9YUQ8D5JeL.jpg\"\/><\/picture><span class=\"featured__label horizontal__label\">Pre-order<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"sr-only\">  (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"featured_product_details_wrapper\">\n<p><h2 class=\"featured__title\">Surface Laptop Go 2<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"subtitle__description\">\n<p>The Surface Laptop Go 2 gets a glow-up with 11th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, new serviceable parts, Secured-core designation, and new Sage color.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-link=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=23432X820454&amp;xcust=hawk-custom-tracking&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fd%2Fsurface-laptop-go-2%2F8pglpv76mjhn&amp;sref\" data-link-text=\"From $599 at Microsoft Store\" data-model-name=\"Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2\" data-show-fallback=\"button\" data-widget-type=\"merchantlink\" data-render-type=\"editorial\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()\n{n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}\n;if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '1765793593738454');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What you need to know Surface Laptop Go 2 is official and it&#8217;s available for pre-order today.
