We didn’t get one this time, and didn’t much miss it the screen may be bigger, but there’s still not a ton of room for this sort of thing. The glass touchpad clicks firmly but easily.įor drawing and annotation purposes, Microsoft also offers the Surface Pen-though it will run you another $99. But for something designed foremost for thinness, it’s not too shabby: The keys have travel pleasing enough that you won’t feel you’re pounding your fingertips on the desk, and they offer a dose of resistance that reads as serious without edging all the way into stiff. It’s not a patch on a full laptop keyboard, of course the keys are too small and closely packed. (The white backlight provided an appealing additional contrast.) The $129 one included with our review unit, colored Platinum and using Alcantara (per the description on the box, “a unique and innovative material used in high-end luxury products”), was certainly attractive, blending a soft-touch gray for the cover and the keyboard deck and a slightly darker matte gray for the keys and the 3.8 x 2.2-inch touchpad. Its Signature Type Cover is still a separate add-on, and, as priced from $99 to $129, it’s not a cheap one. One thing hasn’t changed with the Surface Go 2: the keyboard. On the DCI-P3 color gamut, which is a newer and more demanding standard for digital video, it covered only 76.1 percent. (It averaged about 408.2 nits of brightness in our tests with a Klein K10-A colorimeter.) It was about average in terms of color reproduction on the sRGB gamut, covering 107.4 percent that’s slightly better than last year’s iPad but less impressive than we saw with the first Surface Go. The screen itself doesn’t look bad and is sufficiently bright for viewing in both indoor and outdoor settings. Microsoft freed up that extra space by shrinking the bezels significantly (to about 15/32nds of an inch on the top and bottom and 13/32nds of an inch on the sides), giving a smarter, cleaner impression. But thanks to its 1920 x1280 resolution, the Surface Go 2’s 10.5-inch PixelSense display appears more conventional and comfortable.
