It's often said that you buy a surface for the feel. I could have gotten a much higher-spec laptop compared to the laptop go 2, but the feel and user experience of these surface products are phenomenal, a characteristic I find more important. It's subjective, of course
There's always a big premium to pay for better finish, material, design etc. Same w Razer, MscBooks and top Samsung items. So what I do is buy the top end CPU/GPU combo in like-new condition when they're like a yr old. Save mucho moneyz 🤑
“MacBook Retina” in 2016/2017 was a 12”, and people liked the size, but the keyboard was awful. TBH the 13” M1/M2’s are less than an inch bigger width wise, and seems perfect for most
I have the original Surface Laptop Go, and still absolutely love it. I'll probably wait another year for another one, but it's honestly a really solid lineup
@@nathan.d.c I agree. This comment in no way has an apple bias. There are also plenty of windows computers that are cheaper that outperform this device. Idk I feel like the surface products are overpriced for what they offer and that there tend to be better alternatives.

@kassperplus that's a good point. Although I prefer my tablet for reading and watching content on the couch anyways so it would still get use. Also I love using it as a second display with my desktop so when I get a laptop I can use it for that too.
Hi, what is the full name of the model shown here? I searched for New Surface laptop Go 3 , but I only found models without keyboard backlight. Thank you in advance!
I own the Go 2 with i5 and 8 gigs of RAM. If you're a power user like me, you will passionately hate it, because of how slow it is. Not worth the price.
Bought a Yoga 7i 14 2-in-1 for $750 on sale. I can't really see a reason to go for this over the Yoga. i7-1355U, 16 Gigs DDR5, and a 512 Gig SSD. This laptop looks nowhere near as good.
The Surface laps are totally underrated. Microsoft gets dogged by its Windows foolishness but the Surface is one product that Microsoft absolutely nailed.
can you please help me? i have one of the surface go’s idk which number but when i open it the corners of the screen on the bottom have broken and it peels the screen back everytime i open and it does not close right and has sort of a pushed back top screen when shut and i did not treat the computer bad at all can i please have some insight on why this is happened
What I dont understand is that everyone is piping their humongous phones with screens >6" and closer to 7", but their laptops need to be small and "portable"? as in what is portable, if it suits in a backpack its portable for a laptop - for a phone, if it suits your pantspocket its portable, yet these phones arent, but our laptops need to be??
FRIGGIN LOL. Apple might be able to sneak away with 8GB RAM for a base model and rip you off via upgrade, but you can't get away with that shit Microsoft. 8GB non-upgradeable RAM for Windows 11 is a crime. 200 bucks for an 8GB upgrade without bumping up the SSD capacity or CPU. GTFO with that ...
I would never buy a laptop without a ryzen 7000/6000 processor, they are just on an other lever, where I live I just got a Yoga 7 pro 14 with a 7840s, 32 gb with a 3k display for 940€

If they had great specs worthy to buy not to mebtion old flagships phones
$800 and they can't even add a keyboard backlight?
Same keyboard goes with their 14.5 inch counterpart , the surface studio 2. With no dedicated Home, End, PgUp, PgDn keys.
The old one was 499 for 8gigs of ram and it had the same body and everything but this was like three years ago
Ikr, the second I heard microsoft I knew it's an overpriced piece of crap with processing power worse then a mid range phone.
Why would you need one if it's main focus is for note taking
skill issue, also it says in the video it has backlight
Low end Surface Go 3 still have 4GB ram. It should be illegal selling Windows laptops with less than 8 GB.
Same with Mac. The AIr & Pro both start at 8GB of RAM, which is way too little.
No, the base Go3 has 8GB.
@@migueltoledo1884no?
@@migueltoledo1884it’s 8, but too little anyway

Love my Sage Laptop 2, but Microsoft needs to add a backlight for the keyboard. Apple also needs to make a 12 inch MacBook.
It is called an iPad.
@@danielcontenteromanzini817 There is an 11” iPad and a 13” iPad. There is no 12” iPad.

Can get an m1 air for cheaper at this point and it outperforms this device. Idk if this product is justifiable at 799 get it only on a sale.

Outperform in real world or on paper?
Justifiable is relative. I have stuff that needs x86 and Rosetta won't fit the bill.

I’ve never cared for its display resolution, but damn, another year without a backlit keyboard
They should have put a snapdragon x in it maybe the lower sku instead with 16GB and 256 or 512gb of storage.
Starting at 800 dollars b4 taxes and 200 dollars extra for 16gb ram gtfo
wonder how the companies justify the ram prices in laptops now adays
They don’t. They just hope noone cares
This is why i love eBay. Bought the Laptop Go 1 w literally just 1 week of use for $275 🤑 (8gb Ram) don't need a top spec cpu at this size
@@TheFinnishTechie Apples sells theirs bout the same amount
can get a dell xps 13 for $600 right now w more performance, better display & better deal all && all. this laptop is a waste.
I bough my grandmother a Go1 and was pleasantly surprised by the build quality and size - a nice upgrade from an old 11.6" Chromebook
Would have been perfect…why are they still not doing backlit keyboard on this one?🙄
Not worth the money they cost…
It is like a MacBook great quality but poor specs for big money
@@FeruzNurillaev it nothing like a MacBook unless your referring to the cost
@@FeruzNurillaevDepends on the macbook. M1 air is a good deal at $699 now.
Small displays are usually not age friendly.
Then older people can get a laptop with a bigger screen.
The only advantage of having an intel cpu is thunderbolt support and this laptop doesn't even have it. Would rather an amd apu
Amd makes plane parts 😍😍😍😍
I think XPS 13 plus, would be a great alternative for this.

Like iPhone SE or Mini , surface laptop Go is just for primary student and junior high school

Is it worth buying the 16 gb version? Can’t it be upgraded or is the ram soldered?
Wait until the price drops under $600.

Looks way too ancient...
I need it. Ive been skeptical cuz y u put 11th gen in 2023? Now that its 12th gen it is better

Would be better with ryzen 7000..I would buy that..not this thing
The Surface laps are totally underrated. Microsoft gets dogged by its Windows foolishness but the Surface is one product that Microsoft absolutely nailed.
just make a surface go that is actually neat
Battery life ?
A base model should not be 4GB of memory in this day and age
Overpriced even compared to mac
what is the point? why just not go to surface pro 9 or 8?
How do I connect it to my monitor if it doesent have an hdmi port?
Yea this is garbage, $800 for 8gb of ram? And 256gb ssd? If I were ever to buy this, it would be a display item because I can’t run anything on it

this laptop is from the category of laptops that 99.9% of buyers don't want : browsing laptops 😊

12 inch is not tiny. When you said small laptop I thought you meant like the really small laptop trend from the 2000s.
The price is ridiculous
8gb is even crap and then ask 200 bucks more for 16gb is total rip off expected from Microsoft. Just like Apple same shit
I have this laptop it was given to me by my dads friend its very good.
Does it have a pen?
The unboxing experience is identical to macbooks. Curious how microsoft found, that the best way to compete with Apple, is to copy Apple
they not copying

I'll just go with the macbook air !!!!!
