I used to put Lenovo on a pedestal when it came to keyboards. With each new surface device, I use I fall more and more for the keyboard. The keyboard on the Laptop Go is amazing. I am hoping Microsoft takes that bold move away from the proprietary power connection some time in 2021. The only port I would change would be to ditch the Surface Connect port for another USB-C port for charging. That was a feature on many devices a few years ago, but TWS headphones are much more readily available and affordable today than wired headphones are nothing more than an inconvenience. I don’t have strong feelings about the 3.5mm headphone port. If the USB-C port is occupied, you can easily fall back to the USB-A port. The single USB-C port is acceptable in this context, considering the most you will need to connect to a machine of this type is a USB-C display adapter, your smartphone or other USB-C peripherals such as a card reader. In my opinion, this is the first Surface to strike the right amount of ports for the type of customer it is geared towards.
While I agree with the charging, this is a budget laptop, and for the target market, Thunderbolt 3 would have driven up the cost of the device. I read many complaints that the Laptop Go should have had USB-C charging and Thunderbolt 3. Onboard you have a Surface connect power port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, one USB 3.0 Type-A port and one USB 3.0 Type-C port. Microsoft has taken the Apple approach of less is more, but they have also taken a safe approach by being slow to adopt the newest I/O connectivity on their devices. I/O ports and Surface devices have always been a point of contention.
It was more for scrolling webpages and documents. It works well, but with the laptop form factor compared to the Surface Pro and Go tablet-style, I didn’t use it much. Like all Surface computers, the Laptop Go has a touch screen. Some manufacturers have moved to 16:10, which is great, but for productivity, nothing beats 3:2. I think that all laptops should have this aspect ratio. Like all other Surface devices, the Laptop Go has the same 3:2 aspect ratio. It is geared towards users who are on the go and need something small, reliable and well built. No, it isn’t Full HD, but this is not a media consumption device. The display on the Surface Laptop Go is a lower resolution (1536 x 1024 pixels) than what you find on other Surface machines but, as was the case with previous Surfaces I have used, including the Go versions, the Laptop Go’s display was bright, vibrant and for my use, accurate.
