microsoft surface laptop go 10th gen intel

Where things really get hairy is Microsoft’s storage and memory options.

Above the display is a 720p webcam with an f/2.0 aperture. On the plus side, this is still a 10-point touch display, which isn’t a given for a mid-priced Windows laptop. The drop-off is not massive in practice, but text isn’t quite as crisp as it could be. That’s a step below the sharpness of the Surface Laptop 3’s 200 PPI display and a smidge behind what you’d get from a common 13.3-inch 1080p panel. Of note is the display’s 1536×1024 resolution, which equates to a pixel density of 148 pixels per inch (PPI).

Like other Surface laptops, this panel has a 3:2 aspect ratio, which makes it physically taller than typical 16:9 notebook displays.

Having Ice Lake also means support for Wi-Fi 6 via Intel’s AX201 module. Still, this is a solid CPU for this type of ultra-portable device, one that is generally more capable than the Y-series chips found in the Surface Go 2. This is a 10 th-generation Intel processor at a time when the chipmaker is just introducing its 11 th-gen platform, and there’s no AMD Ryzen option as we saw with the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3. Alongside the CPU is Intel’s integrated UHD Graphics G1. It has a base clock speed of 1GHz, which is low but lessens power consumption, and can boost up to 3.6GHz when required.

All three models, however, are equipped with Intel’s Core i5-1035G1, a 15W processor with four cores and eight threads based on Intel’s “Ice Lake” microarchitecture. There are three configurations available for the Surface Laptop Go, with a big divide between the entry-level model and the two higher-priced options.
