Surface Laptop Go ➹

I was waiting for something like this to come out (for the kids), but even though it looks to be just as well built as the rest of the Surface line (and with decent specs) other, easier to repair/expand laptops with Ryzen 4700 series APUs are coming out at roughly the same price range (often cheaper if you go for the decent config at 8G/256G).

Sticking with Intel seems like a missed opportunity somehow, although I get it that the thermals were probably easier to work out.

Too bad that most interesting Ryzen laptops like the ones from Lenovo and Acer seem to be in very short supply, and not a single one of the “good ones” with a 4700 or 4800 is currently being sold in Portugal (let alone somehing with a halfway decent screen and memory configuration…).

But it’s a great little computer for the price, even if I prefer the non-laptop format in general.
