In our 720p video loop battery test, I recorded exactly 10 hours. While it doesn’t quite deliver all-day battery life, it does last longer than I was expecting. It has just a 41Wh cell, far significantly smaller than you’ll find on many laptops. Battery and chargingīefore using the Surface Laptop Go 2, battery life was my biggest concern. The former will be fine if you regularly use a cloud storage service or back up to an external hard drive, but the $100/£100 premium for a 256GB SSD is slightly excessive. In terms of storage, you can choose between a 128GB or 256GB SSD on the Laptop Go 2. I wouldn’t call the audio they produce room-filling, but it is impressive for a device of this size.
These are located under the keyboard, with most of the sound emitted from just above the keyboard. On the audio side, the Surface Laptop Go 2 included what Microsoft calls “omnisonic” speakers. Some premium features have been scaled back, but it still delivers the detail and colour accuracy you’d expect from a Surface display. A maximum brightness of 368 nits isn’t amazing, but it’s still possible to use the device in some outdoor environments.įor me, Microsoft has struck a good balance here. Internal testing is encouraging too, suggesting you’re getting 97% sRGB coverage and 74% of both AdobeRGB and P3. It’s still a high-quality display, and most people won’t notice any difference compared to the Surface Laptop 4’s screen. The more compact design has its benefits for portability, especially when combined with touch support. However, it’s remarkable how quickly these things fade into the background once you start using the Laptop Go 2.
