The keys offer a pleasant, but subtle, amount of feedback as well. Each key quietly clicks down under pressure, making the Surface Laptop Go perfect for typing around others. While its keys are a little smaller than you get with most other laptops, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go offers a joyous typing experience. Microsoft Surface Laptop Go: Keyboard and touchpad The Surface Laptop Go's 12.4-inch touchscreen display provided snappy reaction times to my taps and swipes as I adjusted windows and opened the Start menu and Action Center. That being said, if this panel got a bit brighter, I'm sure the aforementioned reflection wouldn't have been so noticable, and that it would have a wider range of viewing angles, as the panel darkens at around 35 degrees to the left and right. Still, it beats the 303-nit mainstream category average by a slight margin. The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go doesn't really match up on brightness, maxing out at 319 nits, which isn't as bright as the 370-nit Zenbook 13 or the 368-nit Pixelbook Go. It's slightly below those of the Zenbook 13 (108%), Pixelbook Go (108%), but not to a point where I'd deduct points. But as I took photos of the Surface Laptop Go for this review, I noted a lot of myself in the reflections from the screen.Īccording to our Klein K10-A colorimeter, the Surface Laptop Go produces 103% of the sRGB spectrum, a respectable rate that beats the 91% mainstream laptop average.

Homelander's red-white-and-blue cape appeared with the correct darkness, and the beams shooting from his eyes hit with a proper mix of red and white. Watching a clip from The Boys season 2 on the Surface Laptop Go, I noticed that the show's slightly-tweaked colors reproduced correctly.
