The ultraportable Surface Laptop Go 2 is small enough to carry around, but still comes with a full-size keyboard, a precision trackpad and a fingerprint reader, which give this budget laptop a more premium feel. It has a 12.4-inch touchscreen with a tall 3:2 aspect ratio display, which CNET’s Dan Ackerman found bright and clear in his review last year.

Inside is an 11th-gen Intel Core i5 processor, 128GB of solid-state storage and 8GB of RAM. While these aren’t the most powerful specs on the market, you should be able to multitask on this midrange laptop just fine. It features a 720p HD camera and built-in Studio Mics for video calls, as well as Omnisonic speakers with Dolby Audio so you can stream your favorite content right on your laptop. It runs on Windows 11. You can also get up to 13 hours of battery life per charge — and with fast charging, you can get up to 80% in just over an hour.
