One of the products Microsoft launched today is the Surface Go 2, a successor to the 2018 Surface Go. The new portable computer has a bigger display, improved design but surprisingly sticks to the Surface Dock connector rather than USB-C.
The new and portable 2-in-1 now comes with a 10.5-inch PixelSense display with significantly smaller bezels than its predecessor. It is not near as small as that of the iPad Pro but you will be glad they have been cut down.
Even though the screen is bigger, the Surface Go 2 will work with the keyboard of the original, so if you own the first-gen model and plan to make the switch to the new one, you don’t need to purchase a new keyboard.
With respect to configuration, the Surface Go 2 is available in three options listed below:
Configuration 1
- Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y
- Intel UHD Graphics 615
- 4GB RAM
- 64GB eMMC storage (expandable via a MicroSD slot)

Configuration 2
- Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y
- Intel UHD Graphics 615
- 8GB RAM
- 128GB SSD storage (expandable via a MicroSD slot)
- $549
Configuration 3
- Intel 8th Gen Core M3
- Intel UHD Graphics 615
- 8GB RAM
- 128GB SSD storage (expandable via a MicroSD slot)
- $629
Microsoft says the Surface Go 2 has a new 5MP 1080p camera for better and clearer video calls along with Studio Mics (dual-microphone solution) for an increase in voice clarity and reduction in background noise during video calls. There is also a new camera app that allows you to easily scan documents and whiteboards for easy sharing. The Surface Go 2 has support for the Surface Pen and will make it easy to take notes while studying and also for drawing and annotations.
The Surface Go 2 will go on sale on May 12 along with a bunch of accessories in different colors.
