But unless you're livestreaming on Twitch or something, which is sort of outside the system's intended use case, this webcam is plenty capable. I still maintain that a 1080p webcam should be the minimum. The Laptop Go 2's webcam is still just 720p, but Microsoft says there's a new sensor inside that improves contrast and color saturation. It's 2022: Backlit keys should be standard, regardless of price. That said, I think not adding backlighting to the keyboard was a bit too frugal on Microsoft's part. Inside, the 12.4-inch PixelSense display has slim bezels, and while the Laptop Go 2's keycaps and touchpad are a bit smaller than what you'd get on a bigger Surface, it never felt cramped. Microsoft uses aluminum on its lid and deck, but a plastic bottom helps keep its price down. You still get that super minimalist Surface aesthetic in a light 2.5-pound body. Not a lot has changed about the design, and I don't care because it's basic in the best ways.
And thanks to a refreshed CPU, upgraded storage, redesigned fans and a starting price of just $600, now you get even more for your money. So while the new Surface Laptop Go 2 isn’t as flashy as the Surface Studio or as flexible as a Surface Pro 8, it delivers all the essentials for a very affordable price.
But there's something to be said for simple devices that deliver everything you need without a bunch of costly extras.
