We like the visual impression of the compact device with its tapered base unit. Alternatively, Platin, Sage, and Sandstone are also available. The color of our test unit is called Ice Blue and looks good. The maximum opening angle is 135 degrees. The stability of the metal case (aluminum lid and base unit made of both aluminum and plastic) is very good, only the hinge could have turned out slightly stiffer, since it is unable to prevent some wobbling completely. There are also no differences to the more expensive Surface models in this regard. It continues to be a high-quality product that can easily compete with significantly more expensive competitors. Microsoft kept the case design of the Surface Laptop Go without making any changes. After 30 days, you will be charged the applicable monthly or annual subscription fee.
