Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 12 inch touch screen laptop for $600 ($650) in Amazon

Now is also a good time to get a discount on Surface’s Laptop Go 2. We found the Go 2 to be a likeable product in our review, though not without some flaws. One of its biggest problems is that the base model with 4GB of RAM isn’t useful to anyone. The other is that the $700 model, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, costs a lot. But as we noted in our review, “If you can find it on sale…the Laptop Go 2 is a budget laptop worth considering if you can live with its flaws.” With 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB storage model now on sale, it could be a great choice for those who want a compact, well-built laptop for everyday tasks and light gaming. As an added bonus, it’s also more repairable than most of its competitors, offering a user-removable SSD along with instructions in the manual for some other serviceable components. Just be aware that the Go 2 Laptop lacks a backlit keyboard.
