Microsoft Surface Laptop Go hands-on: 48 hours with the ‘iBook G4’ of this generation Microsoft Surface Laptop Go review: What’s good? I wish the notebook had another USB-C, as well as a microSD or SD slot. Microsoft has included one USB-A and one USB-C alongside a 3.5mm headphone jack and Microsoft’s proprietary Surface Connect port. It’s small and lightweight, 1.1kg to be precise.

I usually carry a messenger bag, and this notebook isn’t even noticeable. I am glad to see that the customer who likes to purchase the Surface Laptop Go is not giving up on portability. The lid and keyboard deck are made of aluminum, while the bottom of the notebook is polycarbonate resin, which doesn’t feel cheap at all.
