Note that the Surface Laptop Go 2 does not have an infrared camera, but uses a fingerprint reader integrated directly into the ignition button. To put it bluntly: I currently have the computer positioned slightly obliquely on my lap to regain my usual typing speed. They are in fact much more staggered from row to row than on most configurations, which requires significant adaptation time. No, it’s in the positioning of the keys that the Laptop Go 2 is amazing.

The same goes for the touchpad, smaller than average because of the format of the phone, but terribly pleasant under the finger. The keys themselves are very comfortable we feel that Microsoft is keen to maintain its brand image on this point, with very plump keys that are wide enough and spaced out to be a pleasure to use.

It is perhaps on this point that the Surface Laptop Go 2 made a strange choice. Source: Chloé Pertuis – Frandroid Keyboard and touchpad

No flexibility can be observed either at the level of the screen or the keyboard. And this without being too afraid of damaging the product, whose construction is terribly solid. At 12.4 inches diagonally, it fits like a kind of cute little companion that can quickly slip into a bag. The distinctive mark of this Surface Laptop Go 2, like the first model, is its format. We find here a good quality plastic and two large rubber pads which avoid the slightest slip. The underside of the Laptop Go 2 is however not of the same material. The device itself has nice rounded corners, but its edges are still very marked and can be a bit sharp. This is particularly noticeable on the front chassis, which takes on the simplistic elegance of the range with its brushed aluminum shell and the square mirrored Microsoft logo.
