The Surface Laptop Go 2 was designed to provide easy access to the removable SSD, Surface Connect port, speakers, fan, and IO.

You are probably also wondering about RAM, so we hate to disappoint you, but this is an area where you don’t have any control.

Unfortunately, RAM is non-user-upgradeable, so you better think twice about which config you should pick before buying this 12-inch Microsoft-designed laptop.

As you might know, the base specs come with only 4GB of RAM, an 128GB SSD, and the 11th Gen Intel Core i5 processor.

That being said, know that for another hundred bucks you will get you twice the RAM, and the most expensive option doubles both RAM and storage.

Now that you know this, you will have an easier and cheaper time fixing your Surface Go 2 laptop, should something ever happen to it.
