It boasts a full keyboard (albeit lacking a numpad) that’s nicely spaced with a comfortable 1.3mm key travel distance. Like its predecessor, the Go 2 is very nice to type on. This would have been a welcome improvement over the Surface Laptop Go.Ī highlight of Surface Laptops are the keyboards, and the same can be said here.

Unfortunately Thunderbolt 4 is still missing though. It has a USB-A port, a USB-C port, a headphone jack and a Surface Connect port for charging. I felt the Go 2 had a sufficient amount of ports.
