Microsoft\u2019s Surface Go 2 is easy to fall in love with but hard to live with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small tablet has updates that go a long way toward addressing the problems with the original Surface Go, but not entirely. The screen is bigger, and there\u2019s an option for a faster processor, both of which make this a better computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It starts at INR 50,999 only, but that price isn\u2019t really what you\u2019ll pay. It would be silly to get a Surface Go 2 without a keyboard, so add $100 for that. At five hundred bucks, though, it\u2019s a category where you will find competing for products that do many of the things the Surface Go 2 does but better. If you spring for the faster processor, that\u2019s even more true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unfamiliar, the Surface Go 2 is a Windows tablet that\u2019s about the same size as a regular iPad or the 11-inch iPad Pro. But because it\u2019s a Surface, it has a few accoutrements that iPads lack. It has a kickstand that works at any angle, a microSD card slot for expandable storage, a Surface connector to go along with its USB-C port, and a headphone jack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe my favorite thing about Surface hardware these days is a camera that\u2019s actually where it belongs on the top of the screen when in landscape orientation. It works with Windows Hello for logging in with your face and looks much better on videoconferences than laptops with puny sensors inside their thin laptop lids. It\u2019s one of the benefits of putting all of the computer guts behind the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than increasing the screen size, Microsoft hasn\u2019t changed a single thing about the body on the Surface Go 2. It still has gently curving corners, feels solidly built, and works with all of the same accessories \u2014 including the keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, that keyboard still has a bit too much flex to it. When I\u2019m using the Surface Go 2 on my lap (where, really, it feels like it belongs), if I rest my hands too heavily on the palm rests, it will click the mouse on me. Maybe because there\u2019s less room for magnets in the bezel, the keyboard sometimes doesn\u2019t stay up at an angle when you press down on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
