Buying a new laptop: MacBook Air vs. Surface Laptop Go

Buying a new laptop: MacBook Air vs. Surface Laptop Go

Another week has gone by in the tech world, and with it, we have new developments and surprises.

The giant Microsoft challenges Apple with the recently unveiled of its new Surface Laptop Go, which is a simpler version of its loved flagship Surface Laptop 3.

Microsoft’s new Laptop Go looks very similar to its old version Laptop 3. Experts assume that this new device offers more and better specs for a cheaper price.

First, we must be sure that this statement is real, so let's analyze this new device's specs:

  • 12.4 inches touchscreen display
  • 1536x1024 resolution
  • 2 studio-quality mics and speakers with Dolby Audio processing
  • 720p f2.0 HD webcam
  • Full-size keyboard
  • Trackpad
  • Blue, sandstone, or platinum-colored metal finish
  • 10th gen Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor with either 4 or 8GB of RAM
  • 13-hour battery and fast charging
  • 1 x USB-C port and 1 x USB-A port
  • Headphones socket
  • Wi-Fi 6 standard and Bluetooth 5
  • Fingerprint sensor (after, it was Hello face recognition)

The Surface Laptop Go, offers many benefits to its buyers. The price also represents a big advantage. In the US it will start at $549.99.

If you looked at the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Go, you might found it similar to Apple’s MacBook Air, mainly because of the metallic lid, symbols logo, and the amazing slim design. MacBook is still one of the best laptops in the market but at this point, the new Microsoft Laptop Go could be an equivalent. Both laptops look similar, but talking about software, are they similar too?
