Microsoft Surface Laptop Go Reminds me of Macbook

Microsoft Surface Laptop Go - 12.4" Touchscreen - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD - Sandstone

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The first thing, I remembered when looking at the Microsoft latest Surface laptop go is my old Macbook Gold retina. It looks almost the same. Of course, there are differences in specs. Like, the MacBook is 12 inch with retina display.

I loved my Macbook back then and so did my nephew. Whenever he comes over my house, he'll use it. He wasn't happy when I decided to sell it off. He likes how long the battery lasts in between usage. It's also light and quite portable.

I took this picture of my Macbook Gold Retina with my Blackberry passport. Which is used. It was an interesting phone with that size. But, I always like blackberry phones, especially with OS10. You'll need a bigger pocket for the phone though. lol.

I don't know why Apple is not continuing with the Macbook. All they need to do is update the specs and maybe lower the price more. Both of the Surface laptops go and the MacBook is great for light usage. For students, this would definitely be great for school.

If the screen is a touchscreen, you might as well make the laptop's ability to fold. So, people can use it as a tablet. Would definitely benefit school artists. Or, if you want to hold it while laying down watching youtube videos.

It's great that they're putting the 720p front camera though. During this pandemic just shows how essential communicating through video-call is. I'm kind of an advocate of the video call. It's crappy that you have to wait until there's a pandemic before everyone takes video-call seriously.

Hello, my mom always video call my sis through Whatsapp. I've seen people at work using it to call their families. It's kinda weird that people don't use it for work. Ok. maybe because it's expensive back then and the camera, plus connections weren't that good either.

Nowadays, tech has definitely improved. For example, I used to hate the fingerprint sensor on mobile phones. I was surprised how smooth it is on my current laptop. I can easily log in to my laptop within secs. So, I assumed it will be great for the Surface laptop go. So, enjoy it!

I hope they can lower the price though. At that price, it got me an HP 15s AMD Ryzen 7 with Vega 10 graphics, 15.6-inch FHD with a full backlit keyboard. It's not a touchscreen, but I seldom need it, unless I can fold it. Also, comes with 512gb SSD. 

I guess, if you're a student, you might be able to get a special prize, so look out for that.

Hey guys,

For me personally, 8gb of ram is the minimum for today's Windows 10 laptop or PC. I have a gaming pc and I bought it with Intel i7, GTX 1060 with 16gb of ram. That was a couple of years back. And, I'm typing on the pc right now. What I like is how smooth everything still is. That's what you want.

I also have an Acer laptop with Intel Celeron N4200 with 4gb of ram. It stutters once in a while. I immediately, upgrade the ram to 8gb. I wanted more than 8 but, 16gb was way over my budget. I think it cost around $100+, then. Can't really remember. Now, it runs a bit better.

My HP 15s, AMD Ryzen 7, came with just 8gb of ram. As it was on offer, I thought it'll do for now. I can always upgrade later. Currently, it runs pretty smoothly. So, I've no complained. My only complaint is the Radeon X Vega 10 graphic card.

I was pretty disappointed when I tried playing Dirt 4 as I thought, the graphic card will be able to handle it. Silly me, I thought it would be on par with my gaming pc Gtx 1060. Turn out, it's only half as good. I had to go all the way down to ultra-low to be able to play the game.

One thing I learned when I upgraded my low-end Acer laptop is that after I upgrade my ram from 4 to 8gb. I can now play some games smoothly. With just 4gb, you can't really do much. I'm not a technical expert but, that's why I say 8gb is just great for minimal laptop or pc task.

The other day, my ex-colleague told me that his wife wanted to upgrade her Pc ram from 8 to 16gb. Her pc is running out of storage and things are starting to lag. She doesn't game and uses it for her work. Just another proof that 8gb of ram just doesn't cut it anymore.

If you can afford it, get the maximum specs that you can get so that it can last you for years to come. You don't want the hassle of having to upgrade once, everything starts to slow down. Especially, when you need your computer for work.

Talking about the hassle, it was really a hassle to take out the back cover of the HP 15s laptop. I actually had to use a prying tool to take it off. I don't remember ever having to use a prying tool to upgrade ram or a hard disk. Whoever designed the laptop must think it's a good joke. 

I actually thought of just ripping the bloody whole back of the laptop. That's when I decided to search on Google for any kind of tutorial instead.

After looking at a tutorial that almost looks like my HP laptop, I decided to pry it open. It took me a while to discover the easiest way is to start from below the touchpad. I was really afraid of scratching my laptop and chipping or breaking the cover. It's still just a few days old!

While cursing at HP, I finally, managed to slowly pry open the laptop without scratching or breaking anything. It was all worth it, as I discovered that there are two slots for the Ram. So, I can easily replace them whenever I want to. 

Now, my thought is to either just buy an 8gb ram or if it's really cheap, I can get 2 x 8gb ram to make it 16. I think I'll just buy an 8gb ram and add it to the 4gb ram to make it 12gb ram. Which isn't that bad. Another 4gb of ram would do wonders. Especially, if I want to game on the laptop.

I won't do it now though. The thought of having to pry again the laptop really scares me. If anyone at HP is reading this, fire the idiot that design the back cover and making me use a prying tool just to open that damn back cover of the laptop!
