In fact, that feeling of well-built sturdiness is something I really appreciated. The curved corners look nice, and although it feels a little heavier than what I’m accustomed to, the Surface Go 2 isn’t anywhere near cumbersome. On the-ahem-surface, the Surface Go 2 has a traditional look that echoes the original (with the aforementioned improved bezel design). In addition to the screen and camera, the other thing the Surface Go 2 has going for it is its design. I’d argue it’s enough to warrant the cost of the base model all by itself. However, with the pandemic keeping us apart and more reliant than ever on a good teleconferencing solution, the Surface Go 2’s camera is a godsend. The picture quality is excellent, the orientation is perfect, and whether you’re video conferencing for work or for pleasure, you’re not going to find a better experience in such a convenient setup. Now, under normal conditions, the Surface Go 2’s camera setup would be a big plus. Microsoft didn’t update the cameras this time around (likely because it didn’t need to), but did boost the internal mics, so you get better call audio than the previous generation. Similar to its predecessor, the Surface Go 2’s array consists of a 5.0MP front-facing camera with 1080p and an 8.0MP rear-facing autofocus camera with 1080p HD video. The camera setup is also a universal positive. Even though the display is a significant half-inch larger, it feels even bigger because the screen bezels have been dramatically reduced, giving the display the emphasis it deserves.


It’s a good-looking screen, no doubt, and an upgrade from the previous model in terms of size and screen resolution.

The Surface Go 2 features a 10.5" PixelSense™ display with 1920 x 1280 resolution. The most conspicuous place to start is the screen.
