From what we see in these features, this notebook will retain basic design, premium finish and thinness and lightness the original version, which we had the opportunity to analyze. Focused on the mass consumption and education segment, it will excel in great mobility and autonomy and low price for a model that fits into the middle class.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 will have a 12.5-inch Pixel Sense multi-touch display and the usual quality of the entire Surface range with an aluminum and magnesium chassis and a weight of just 1.1 kg.
