When it comes to workmanship, display and keyboard, Microsoft is second to none. The biggest drawback: the small and slow eMMC. Savings at the wrong end.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go focuses on mobility and design instead of computing power and features. Its price-performance ratio is not convincing, but the notebook brings a touch of exclusivity to the mid-range: therefore, those who want to spend only around 800 euros instead of the usual 1000 euros for features such as a touchscreen, low weight and elegant casing may take it.
