Customers are positive about the Surface Go 2's ease of use, size, and weight, frequently praising its portability and convenient form factor. Many appreciate the device's performance and battery life, though some express concerns regarding the limited RAM and storage capacity. Positive feedback also highlights the screen quality and value for the price. However, the need for an additional keyboard accessory is a recurring point of feedback.

    I returned the Surface Go 2. as I did not think it was worth the money. I wanted a tablet and figured if I spent a little extra I would get a lot more. But was disappointed.

    This is not a great laptop. It does have nice features and very good quality but they put a crappy processor in it. I returned it and bought the surface pro instead

    The screen is responsive, but the bloatware and the processing power kills this product. If you never open any programs, this is a good choice, but if you ever want to use this product, save your money and use something else. I wanted to like this, but I had to go through hoops to download Google Chrome. Microsoft is trying really hard to push Microsoft Edge as a premium product, but it's not.

      Hi – Surface Go 2 comes with Windows 10 in S mode which allows you to do the things you want with protection you can count on. However, you can switch it out of S mode but doing so is permanent. To learn more about Windows 10 in S mode, please go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/s-mode Best, Erica Surface Customer Care Microsoft

    1. Open-Box Satisfactory says "nonessential parts or accessories may be missing" but how is a charger that comes with the device considered "nonessential"? How is this different from "vital accessories may be missing"? 2. With absolutely no manual provided, been difficult trying to find out the intentions behind the settings and how to use this.

    Purchased this unit November 2021. It was working pretty well to the point that it upgraded to Windows 11 and the last update 22H2. Suddenly it started to get slow to start up and Microsoft Edge is giving all kind of trouble opening itself as well as other sites.

    Windows is going dowhnhill. The surface2 only allows "microsoft approved" apps, which dont include 90% of apps I use. I dont know if this is becuse these apps are insecure or that Microsoft is to darn lazy to evaluate them. I had to get a SECOND tablet to run 90% of the apps I use. For the amount I paid for the Surface 2, this is REDICULOUS!

    tried to exchange and pay the difference for the upgraded surface go after my wife was discharged from the hospital after a two week stay but customer service stated I was 2 days outside of my exchange or return. During these times the return policy should be amended.

    Personally i recently broke my phone so i figured i could use my surface touch as a wifi phone and microsoft wouldn't allow me to. Then i had my sim chip with service but the surface doesn't take dim cards or micro sd cards, then i got another phone but needed the info off my broken phone and the surface has no usb import.

      Hello,

      We're sorry if your Surface Go 2 experience hasn't met expectations. Unfortunately, Surface Go 2 does not support LTE connections. If you are interested in a Surface device that can also double as a smart phone, we urge you to check out Surface Duo. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-surface-duo-128gb-unlocked-glacier/6419335.p?skuId=6419335

      If you need to use a USB flash drive with this Surface, we recommend getting a USB-C to USB-A adapter.

      Hope that helps,
