The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 Core i5 512GB / 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 1,999 in the UAE and ₹52,990 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 G7 80EUs, delivering smooth multitasking and light creative work thanks to dual-channel LPDDR4x-4266 RAM. Its 41Wh battery lasts up to 11 hours in real-world use, outperforming many rivals in this weight class. At 1.135kg, it’s among the lightest 12.4-inch laptops, perfect for students and professionals who commute daily. The fingerprint reader and Windows 11 Home integration enhance security and login speed. Its weakness is thermal throttling under sustained loads—the 15W PL1 limit caps performance after 5–7 minutes of heavy use, making it unsuitable for prolonged video rendering or gaming. The single USB-C port limits connectivity; you’ll need adapters. In UAE at AED 1999, it’s good value because the build, screen, and battery justify the premium over budget rivals. In India at ₹52990, it’s overpriced—similar-spec AMD laptops offer better ports and thermal headroom for less.
