Microsoft Surface 12.4 I5-1035g1/8gb/256gb SSD Laptop Clear UK QWERTY

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go impresses with its sleek design and lightweight build, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go professionals. The vibrant PixelSense display delivers crisp visuals, enhancing the overall viewing experience. The Intel Core i5 processor ensures snappy performance for everyday tasks. However, the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage might be limiting for users with demanding workloads or large file storage needs. Despite these considerations, the Surface Laptop Go shines as a stylish and portable device for those prioritizing mobility and style

This was my first laptop go purchase. I am very happy with it. I love the sleek design. I chose this color over the other options. I use this specifically for my small business. I love the touch screen ability. It’s lightweight compared to other laptops. It is Bluetooth compatible. I am able to download numerous apps. There is two USB ports. The battery life lasts over 6 hours. For signing in I like the option of using the fingerprint power button. The system runs smooth. The display is very nice and the colors are vivid. Next time I will purchase a bigger hard drive for storage.

I bought this for portable use. In fact it does almost as well on speed tests as my older desktop. It boots up fast - the SSD is great. This is not a fast gaming computer, but is great for mail, Internet browsing, word processing, spreadsheets, and so on. It is quite responsive for several people on Zoom, and it runs my CAD program and 3-D printer with no hesitation. NOTE that you need to get a USB-C expansion module if you want to connect another monitor or use more than the 2 USB outlets provided. The price was right!

Christmas gift for late teen/young adult son.

I bought this for my son for Christmas last year. He does video games and uses it for high school. He takes it everywhere and uses it daily. It’s been a full year and when his sister mentioned wanting to get a computer he said you should see if mom would get you the one she got me. (She didn’t get one last year because she primarily uses her MacBook for school and a laptop she borrowed for the community college. So, I got her some Lena and gear for photography.) You know you did good when they’re telling siblings about it, a year later!

Exceptional service and product

I was a little hesitant about purchasing a refurbished product rather than an open box product, which has always been my preferred choice ... until getting this Surface Laptop Go from Hyper Mega Electronics. The reviews on both the product and the company to date seemed excellent, so I ordered one.It arrived within a couple of days, packaged within a box, within a box, within a box. Basically it was very well packaged. The final box was a sealed Microsoft box with a 'certified refurbished' sticker on it. If it wasn't for that sticker, you'd think it was new. Inside, the laptop came with the protective cover and the cables were again packaged as if new. The laptop itself was in flawless condition. I have been using it for a week without any problems and the battery ... MoreI was a little hesitant about purchasing a refurbished product rather than an open box product, which has always been my preferred choice ... until getting this Surface Laptop Go from Hyper Mega Electronics.

I upgraded out of Windows 10 S mode and Windows 11 should soon be available for a free upgrade. Fan noise is minimal when not stressing the CPU and the keyboard is lovely, responsive and very quiet. Screen is great. I won't do any more of a review of the laptop itself than that because there's more thorough professional reviews out there, so this is more of a big thumbs up for the seller and to Best Buy. I would absolutely buy from this seller again.

Wasn’t Any Difference Between New & Refurbished

So, I bought a Certified Refurbished device from Mega PC Mall through the Best Buy website.It was a hard decision but I went for the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 12.4" Multi-Touch (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD & Windows 10S in Sand Stone, gorgeous colour omg)They shipped it very quickly and it was delivered within a day or two!Anyways, the title said it was in “excellent” condition. But when it arrived and I opened it up, there was no way I could tell the it had been previously used. It was in absolutely PERFECT condition. Not one little scratch or mark anywhere.If it wasn’t labeled as refurbished, then I wouldn’t have even known that it was!And to top it off, I got it for like half of the retail price!!And their customer service was top notch, very hard ... MoreSo, I bought a Certified Refurbished device from Mega PC Mall through the Best Buy website.It was a hard decision but I went for the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 12.4" Multi-Touch (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD & Windows 10S in Sand Stone, gorgeous colour omg)They shipped it very quickly and it was delivered within a day or two!Anyways, the title said it was in “excellent” condition.

[Rewarded Review] A fun, lightweight premium computer.

While it small with its hard drive size, this machine still does great. if bought at the 549 price point. Its screen has a 3:2 ratio(1536x1024), so it makes working with documents and websites nicely, video playback will have bars, and optimize to 720p. If you need a larger screen, it will connect via USB-C using an adapter cable to DisplayPort or HDMI, or directly if your monitor can use it. That single USB-C can also charge the laptop, I recommend at least using a 45 watt charger, but it does come with its own surface charging brick. Sadly the one it includes, does not include the extra USB port on the charger, like it does on other surface models.The webcam is okay, however its better than anything at this price point on the market. I would describe this ... MoreWhile it small with its hard drive size, this machine still does great. if bought at the 549 price point.

Sadly the one it includes, does not include the extra USB port on the charger, like it does on other surface models.The webcam is okay, however its better than anything at this price point on the market. I would describe this computer as the premium cheap computer, or a Windows competitor to the Chromebooks.Does support windows 11, but mine came with windows 10s. Make sure to do the free upgrade to windows 10 home at least, or windows 11 home, to get access to install applications outside of the Microsoft store. Once this machine has android application support on windows 11, it will be a great competitor to any similarly priced Chromebook.Hard drive space is small, and the windows install will take up about 32-40ish gigabytes. Recommend using a cloud service such as OneDrive or Google Drive to hold your files, or an external drive. Installing a larger internal is possible, but it's not a straightforward install, and plastic tabs can get damaged if not done properly.The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operate fine, and I never had any issues yet with flaky connections, or dropouts.For a small, on the go laptop, this is great. Its battery life will last about 7-8 hours with screen brightness at 50% with basic computing tasks and videos, making it fine to leave the charger at home, or carry a small one if you need to charge. I use mine for some basic website front end development things. For the cons, the keyboard isn't backlit, so if you need to see the keys in the dark room it will be hard. I also wish it had one more usb port, a normal sized one or a usb-c.

[Rewarded Review] Great inexpensive laptop with a just okay battery

I use this for work in a medical office mostly using web based health records, doing telehealth appointments, and running the business. Have been using it daily for 4 weeks. This Surface Laptop Go replaced my Surface Pro 7 after I dropped it and damaged it beyond repair. I was contemplating going with a Chromebook due to the lower price but went with the Surface Laptop Go when I saw how inexpensive it was. A Chromebook would not work with our current label printer which I use a couple times per week. Staying with the Surface product allowed me to use my current chargers and also I knew it would be compatible with all the hardware in the office. This laptop has worked great so far. The screen is nice and bright although I haven't used it outside in bright sunlight.

The screen is nice and bright although I haven't used it outside in bright sunlight. I like the narrow bezel that makes the screen seem larger. The keyboard I would rate as excellent! It is large enough to not feel cramped, nice feel on the keys and it feels solid, trackpad very responsive. Definitely an upgrade from the Surface cover keyboard.Camera, mic and speakers are adequate, nothing outstanding.The battery life has been disappointing only getting about 7 hours from a full charge. Not a huge problem for me since I have chargers all over the office but this would not work well for a full day at school or a long day at work without recharging. So 4 stars because of battery life.I would also like to have more than one USB port.I am a fan of Chromebooks but the nice price on this has me changing my mind. Also Best Buy matched a price I found online so way to go Best Buy!

[Rewarded Review] I love this laptop!

I have waited almost two years to write this. I love this little laptop! I was previously an Apple user but due to job loss, this was the only laptop I could afford. I thought it would be perfect to hold me over until I could afford to buy a new Macbook, but I have lost the desire or need to do that.This thing is perfect for documents, web browsing, emailing, and all the basic things you'd need it for. I'm not sure how it would work for anything super technical, but if you need to do the basics it is perfect!My only issue is the keyboard isn't backlit, so if it is too dark it can sometimes be an issue. But that's actually the only negative.
