The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 Core i5 256GB / 8GB is Microsoft's 2022 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 16 x 278 x 206 ( = 0.63 x 10.94 x 8.11 in) display, the Intel Core i5-1135G7 4c/8t 4 x 2.4 - 4.2 GHz, 25 W PL2 / Short Burst, 15 W PL1 / Sustained, Tiger Lake-UP3 chipset. At AED 1,599 in the UAE and ₹44,990 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Surface Laptop Go 2 excels with its Intel Core i5-1135G7 and Intel Iris Xe Graphics, delivering smooth multitasking and light creative work thanks to dual-channel LPDDR4x-4266 RAM and efficient Tiger Lake architecture. Its 41Wh battery sustains 8–9 hours of mixed use, outperforming many similarly sized rivals. At 1.135kg, it’s among the lightest in its class, ideal for students or professionals needing a portable secondary device for web browsing, document editing, and Zoom calls. The fingerprint reader and Windows 11 integration enhance daily usability. Its weakness is thermal throttling under sustained load—CPU drops to 15W after 10 minutes, limiting performance in extended tasks. Storage is a slow SATA SSD, not NVMe. In UAE at AED 1599, it’s good value because no other ultraportable offers this weight and screen quality at this price. In India at ₹44990, it’s overpriced—similar Intel i5 laptops with NVMe storage and better cooling start at ₹39000.
