- What's going on guys?
Welcome to a new video, and welcome to the craziness
that is Techtober.
In front of me I have the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go,
which was just recently announced.
Now, shout out to Microsoft for sending me this review unit.
This is not paid,
but they are sending me this product to review.
And if you guys don't know, I am a huge Surface fan.
I've covered a lot of different things,
I use a lot of the devices.
So I'm really excited to get my hands on
(taps laptop box) and test this out.
So let's unbox this and see what this little laptop can do.
(upbeat music)
(paper rustling)
(upbeat music)
Oh, it's very small.
This is really light, wow.
Has a very industrial smell to it.
So in here it's the pretty traditional packaging.
We've got our little notes about the Surface Laptop Go.
This is a 39 Watt charger,
and that's basically all you have in the box.
Simple to the point.
Now let's get to the main attraction, shall we?
(upbeat music)
(paper rustling)
(scratching noise)
And just like that,
it's already starting up and getting ready for me.
I love the ice blue.
Right off the bat, the trackpad feels really good.
So smooth.
- [Cortana] Hi there, I'm Cortana, and I'm here to help.
- While I sign in and set this all up,
let's talk specs.
This does come in three colors.
We have the ice blue, the sandstone and the platinum.
This has a 12.4 inch pixel sense of display.
For the touch it does have a 10 point multi touch.
This has a 10th gen Intel Core i5 processor.
For the solid state options,
we do have 128 gig or 256 gigs.
We do have Wi-Fi 6 as well as Bluetooth wireless 5.0,
up to 13 hours of typical device usage.
We do have a fast charging as well,
you can charge your Surface Laptop Go up to 80%
in just over one hour.
For the front camera, we do have a 720 HD camera.
We have dual far-field studio mics.
For the ports, we have one USB-C, a USB-A,
a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack
and one surface connect board.
This also comes with a one year warranty,
60 day return policy and 90 days of free tech support.
We have the usual Windows Hello sign in,
but we also now have a one touch sign in
with the fingerprint reader button.
So I'm gonna go ahead and set that up, right now.
Touch the power button.
Oh, it's lit up.
I love that it's lit up to like be like hey, here I am.
Cool.
All right, so we're back.
I powered it on, I played with that a little bit,
I've set up a second camera to kinda give you guys
a better angle.
I'm not sure if I care that this is in the shot.
At first I was like, "Oh, you could see the second camera."
But then I was kinda like,
we have flex with the Sony A7S III.
So I would say this laptop is definitely
geared toward a specific consumer.
But if you're gonna be using this for school,
maybe at home, maybe for your kids learning at home.
I know things are super crazy this year
and a lot of people are working from home.
This is honestly a really, really cool device
and it is very lightweight.
But it's also really good for using at home.
I hopped onto Microsoft Teams and I called my sister.
The display on this looks really, really good.
Even the camera down here looks really good
- [Cortana] Christine is currently unavailable.
- Woop, we, okay.
Well, we kinda figured that was gonna happen.
So here we have the front facing camera.
Up here, you can actually turn on or off the HDR,
here is the HDR off and here's the HDR on.
You could also set a timer.
(camera shutters)
Oh that's a nice little sound.
We could also take a video, obviously.
So let's do a video.
Hi everyone, we are testing up the video
here on the Surface Laptop Go.
How are you doing?
I'm doing well, thank you for asking.
Hi everyone, we are testing out the video
here on the Surface Laptop Go.
How are you doing?
I'm doing well, thank you for asking.
She says to herself.
Honestly I've been like typing on this
and I've been using the trackpad
and it has a really good feel.
I actually think this might be my favorite keyboard
slash trackpad yet that Surface has done.
Oh my God, I have called a stranger.
I just called a stranger on Skype.
(Laptop beeps)
There's a third person in this call.
- Yes, it's a Sony Alpha Universe.
It was from the last call that we did.
- Oh no, okay.
You look great.
- Oh, thanks.
- Well, your quality, but also your yeah, that's nice.
I didn't okay, so we called Sony.
Okay, how do I make my screen bigger?
Unblur my background, nah.
Okay.
Well, I'm just testing out the new,
oh wait, under full screen.
- Is that better?
- Yeah, I think I was just tryna look at myself but.
Oh, here we go.
I'm testing out the new Surface Laptop Go, it's cute.
- I'm unboxing mine tomorrow.
- Wait until you turn this on, the power button lights up.
Spoiler.
(laughs)
- I already saw you instead of pinch your lips, spoiler.
- I did, I did.
All right.
Thanks for being a part of this good chat on Skype.
I know a lot of people will probably be like,
what about entertainment?
So personally, huge fan of Netflix, Hulu,
Prime Video, Peacock, basically anything
where I can watch content?
Sign me up.
- Alexis don't be crass.
- Wow, this looks really good. - David, is here to s--
- Oh my God.
What are you doing here?
- Well, I was just in the neighborhood, so--
- It also looks good
- from all angles. - I just thought after last
week we decided to avoid the motel.
Like generally speaking.
- David, what should we do?
- Okay, I see you Microsoft.
Well, the Laptop Surface Go runs best on windows 10 S mode.
You are able to switch and run windows 10 Home.
The device isn't necessarily best optimized for gaming,
but I gave it a try anyway.
I was actually pleasantly surprised with how well it ran
and actually spent a few hours playing Minecraft Dungeons,
you know, for research purposes.
So this is definitely the lightest Surface Laptop yet.
It's only 2.45 pounds, 12.4 inch pixel sense display
while still having a full sized keyboard and trackpad.
This is me testing out the keyboard.
If you are interested in purchasing the Surface Laptop Go,
here is what it will run you.
It is customizable with the three colors.
It starts at $549.99.
You can choose the Ice Blue,
the Sandstone or the Platinum.
Now the Ice Blue is available with the i5, the eight gig,
128 as well as the 256.
Same goes for the Sandstone.
But if you're interested in the Platinum,
you can get that with the i5, four gigs, as well as 64 gigs.
And that one does not come with the fingerprint sensor,
but the other ones will.
So overall, my first impressions interactions with this,
I love the color, I love the look, I love how light this is.
I wanted to show you guys a comparison
to the other Surface products
to give you kind of a better understanding
of the size of the new Surface Laptop Go.
(upbeat music)
I opened up 3D Paint because one of my favorite things
also about this Surface is the touchscreen.
So I can do a little design here.
This is really so beautiful design.
But I just love being able to have a laptop,
but also a touch screen.
And that is definitely why I'm such a huge fan of Microsoft
and everything they do with all their devices.
So the touches are pretty responsive.
It's pretty cool.
Nice.
So there you guys have it.
This was just an unboxing first impressions reaction
to the new Surface Laptop Go.
Thank you so much to Microsoft for sending me this device.
I think this is a really great device.
I absolutely love having the fingerprint sensor.
I love that it lights up.
The keyboard is one of my favorite keyboards.
I love the feel.
I just love the sensitivity, the trackpad,
everything about it is really impressive.
I also really like the blue color.
You guys know I'm a sucker for this blue color
There'll be a link in the description
if you guys wanna check it out.
Thank you so much for watching
and I will see you again soon for a new video.
