Microsoft Surface Go 2 – Larger display, Powerful processor and LTE support

The Microsoft Surface Go 2 will come with a larger display, a more powerful processor, and LTE support.

According to official reports, the smallest tablet member of the Surface family will experience the largest hardware upgrade. The most important change in the Surface Go 2 is its 10.5-inch display, which is slightly larger than the previous generation’s 10-inch display. An important point is to optimize the screen size, which makes it possible to increase the size. In other words, the overall size of the tablet hasn’t changed, and the screen size has increased with decreasing margins and a smarter design. Of course, the edges of the Microsoft Surface Go 2 tablet aren’t as narrow as the edges of the Surface Pro X, but compared to the previous version, the Surface Go has been significantly reduced.

The larger display, more resolution, which makes the resolution of this tablet 1920 by 1080, and the density of 220 pixels per inch, also adds to the appeal of the image. The aspect ratio is still 3: 2 in Surface products. In terms of internal technical specifications, Microsoft offers a variety of options, and users can purchase the model they need according to their needs. The base model of the Surface Go 2 tablet will still have an Intel Pentium Gold processor and will be priced at $ 399. Another model of this product is designed with the eighth generation Core m3 processor, and according to Microsoft, despite this processor, the speed of running programs on the Surface Go 2 tablet will be improved by a maximum of 64%.

Microsoft’s Surface Go 2 tablet comes with four gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of eMMC memory. The more expensive model of the Surface Go 2, which comes with a Core m3 processor, is priced at $ 629, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal SSD memory. Meanwhile, the mid-range model will be available for $ 549, which has an Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y processor and is 100 MHz faster than the previous-generation Surface Go processor. It is based on the newer Amber Lake architecture. The tablet comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal SSD storage. As before, the Type Covers keyboard is sold separately for the Surface Go for a base price of $ 99.

By the way, the Type Covers and other accessories of the previous generation will also work on the Surface Go 2, as the hardware dimensions and input ports have not changed and a USB-C port and Surface Connect port can be seen for charging and using the microSDXC docking and card reader input and input. Microsoft has used studio microphones in the Surface Go 2 to improve video call quality and video conferencing.
