While we like that initial effort, the battery life was mediocre, performance lagged, and software limitations had us searching for workaround. The new Surface Go2 addresses most, though not all, of these issues and comes away with a device that is more expensive, but in many ways more capable that any other tablet I've used.There are still things I dislike -- most of them related to Windows 10 rather than the device -- but so long as you don't need massive processing power for editing photos or video, the Surface Go 2 is a compelling alternative to the traditional laptop. @@ -9,7 +8,7 @@ It's the first device I've used that I would consider laptop-replacement worthy. The second iteration of The Surface Go looks, to be frank, like the entry level iPad. It's roughly the same size, slightly heavier at 1.2 pounds, and sports a very similar 10.5-inch touch screen. Microsoft has managed to pack a slightly larger display into that 10.5-inch frame, which means the bezels are a bit smaller, which also contributes to the iPad-ness of the Surface Go 2's outward appearance. -The thinner bezels make the Surface Go look a bit sleeker, but the real improvements are tucked away under the glass, namely the much improved battery life. +The thinner bezels make the Surface Go look a bit sleeker, but the real improvements are tucked away under the glass, namely the much improved battery life. Battery life in the first version rarely went beyond six hours. |
