Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 12.4" Touch i5-1135G7 8GB 256GB Ice Blue

Compact 12.4-inch touchscreen laptop

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 fits an Intel Core i5-1135G7 quad-core processor, 8GB LPDDR4X memory and a 256GB SSD into a 12.4-inch chassis with a 1536 x 1024 LCD touchscreen. It ships with Windows 11 Home and is aimed at students or mobile professionals who need a lightweight device for everyday multitasking and media consumption. The Ice Blue finish distinguishes this configuration visually.

Sustained performance with integrated graphics

The i5-1135G7 runs at a 2.4GHz base frequency with 8MB L3 cache and relies on integrated graphics rather than a discrete GPU. Under continuous load the processor will throttle to manage thermals within the slim body, so extended video encoding or heavy spreadsheet calculation will run slower than short bursts. The 8GB memory is soldered, leaving only the second slot for a future upgrade to the 16GB maximum.

Storage and wireless interface limits

The 256GB SSD provides the only internal storage; there is no optical drive and no second drive bay mentioned, so capacity cannot be expanded internally. Wireless connectivity uses 802.11 WLAN without a newer Wi-Fi standard specified, which may limit throughput on modern routers. Buyers who want more storage or faster wireless speeds should consider external drives or a different model.
