Title: We just wasted $900 on the Surface Laptop Go so you wouldn't have to
Post by: Redaktion on October 26, 2020, 06:50:03
Microsoft's latest laptop is both a great netbook and a terrible Ultrabook. If you're thinking about spending $900 on the Surface Laptop Go, then you may as well just consider the more capable 13.5-inch Surface Laptop 3 instead.

You gave 85% in your review to Surface Go.

At least two of your suggestions, as BETTER options, scored LESS than that.

So forgive me if I see this article as hypocritical. On one hand you give high final score to the product, to keep MS happy and on the other hand you publish these articles to save face in your visitor's eyes. Really?

Ugh, NBC doesn't rate products from a price-performance ratio, the rating--if you paid attention to the subscores--doesn't even include the price, it's merely where a product stands with respect to its product category. Now the categorization may be cause for scrutiny, since many products are cross-over breeds and may get a different score depending on which category they're compared against, but criticizing the price of a product that scored high isn't hypocrisy, and "better" is vague, compare the subscores to assess their individual traits.

Hey Allen! Any chance of getting that Surface GO 2 review anytime soon? Kind of sitting on a fence with that one (due to a potential PWM issue). Thanks!

I can't imagine why you'd do that. Always buy old flagships(where prices are allowed to float, certainly not at official fixed prices), not new "economy" models, almost everything would be better for the same price.
