This Surface Laptop Go 2 is a compact Windows 11 machine best suited to light everyday use, with a solid build, quality display, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1. The 8GB of RAM can handle email, browsing, shopping, YouTube, and other basic tasks, and the SSD is upgradable despite being the smaller 2230 M.2 NVMe type. The main drawbacks are the non upgradable memory, the 128GB storage limit, weak battery expectations on a refurbished unit, and a sparse port selection. The trackpad also draws criticism, making it a practical but constrained little laptop.
The SSD uses an M.2 NVMe short form factor (2230) and can be upgraded.
The laptop can handle Windows 11 for light tasks like email, browsing, and YouTube.
Daily non-gaming use can stay smooth over years, with the main limitation being smaller storage.
Decrapifying or debloating Windows 11 can make 8GB RAM feel more usable.
The 8GB RAM is non-upgradable, which can limit long-term usefulness.
The 128GB SSD size can be a bigger practical limitation than the RAM.
Port availability is a concern on this model.
Trackpads on these Surface devices can be horrible, which affects everyday usability.

With how much resources modern internet browsers hog on my gaming pc, I assumed a laptop with only 8gb ram would chug and take forever to load, but these older laptops can handle it as long as you dont have 20+ browser tabs open and a second monitor connected or something lol. Only concern would be whether or not the battery health is actually 80% or higher as I've never heard of refurbished laptops having batteries swapped out and this is still a 4 year old laptop at the end of the day.

Basically, kinda sucks but good for the money. Also win 11 will probably come out with optimizations. for 8gb as the ram crisis is ongoing. 8gb is good enough for the price.
