Unfortunately, this also means that there's no Thunderbolt 3 however, let's save that battle for the flagship Surface Laptop 3. One thing that I appreciate about Microsoft Surface products is that all USB ports are equal, and it doesn't set the Surface Connect port to a higher standard than the regular USB Type-C port. On the left side, there's a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port and a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, along with a 3.5mm audio jack.

On the right side of the device, there's just a Surface Connect port, which is USB 3.2 Gen 2 as usual, or I should say, since it was upgraded from USB 3.2 Gen 1 with the last generation of Surfaces. I also like the feel of polycarbonate and its matte texture. It provides a sort of two-tone design, a nice touch when using an already subtle color like Ice Blue. This isn't the first laptop that I've reviewed this year with an aluminum lid and a polycarbonate base Lenovo did it with the Flex 5. The bottom, however, is made out of polycarbonate, and I absolutely love it. The lid and the keyboard deck are both made out of aluminum, just like any other Surface Laptop. Sandstone debuted with the Surface Laptop 3. The model that Microsoft sent me is Ice Blue, which is a color that's actually debuting with this device. These are just this year's colors, except for Platinum, which is just a staple of the Surface family. I actually asked Microsoft if it's meaning to trend toward more subtle colors like Ice Blue, when the Surface Laptop has a history of bolder colors like Cobalt Blue and Burgundy. It comes in three colors: Ice Blue, Sandstone, and Platinum. Designįrom the outside, the Surface Laptop Go looks just like a mini Surface Laptop 3. There's also a mid-tier model for $699.99 with 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. It's worth noting that the base model has 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage, but that's actually eMMC storage.
