The Surface Laptop Go 2 is now only $599 at Best Buy, down from its original price of $699. The laptop in this early Black Friday deal comes with an Intel 11th Gen Core i5-1135G7 processor, Intel Iris Xe graphics, 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM, a removable 128GB SSD, and a 12.4-inch PixelSense display with a 1,536 x 1,024 resolution.

Diving into the display, it offers a 3:2 aspect ratio, which gives you the feel of a larger, more expansive laptop despite its small size. Video is the one area where you won't appreciate it as much with black bars at the top or bottom to fit traditional 16:9 content.

Despite its size, the port selection isn't half bad with a USB-C port, a USB-A port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Surface Connect Port. Windows Hello support is once again available via the fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button on the keyboard.

At 11 x 8.1 x 0.6-inches and 2.48 pounds, the Surface Laptop Go 2 is an excellent travel companion because it can easily fit in any laptop bag without weighing you down.

Microsoft claims the Surface Laptop Go 2 offers 13.5 hours of battery life, a considerable upgrade from the 7 hours and 42 minutes that the previous-gen Surface Laptop Go delivered in our testing. 

That being said, if you're looking a lightweight Surface Laptop Go 2 that you can take with you to school or the airport, this portable Microsoft device is the way to go.
