T

he Surface Laptop Go is Microsoft’s

second try at an affordable Surface,

and it hits the mark better than the

original Surface Go tablet did (go.

pcworld.com/golp). It still offers

compromises, with strategic cuts to keep the

price competitive with a Chromebook. Still,

they’re mostly smart decisions—even a

sub-1080p display and Windows 10 in S

Mode didn’t turn us off. Although the Surface

Laptop Go lacks the easy expansion of some

competing laptops, it’s otherwise a solid

budget offering.

Still, be picky in what you consider

delivers a decent budget PC

Microsoft promised an affordable Surface, and the Surface Laptop Go delivers. Even

compromises like its sub-1080p screen surprisingly work. BY MARK HACHMAN
