The original Surface Laptop Go, introduced on October 1, 2020, started at an attractive price point of $549 / £549 / AU$999, offering an i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage – a configuration well-suited for users seeking a budget-friendly laptop. It maxed out at $899 / £899 / AU$1,549 for an 8GB RAM and 256GB storage upgrade.
The successor, the Laptop Go 2, witnessed a modest price increase, commencing at $600 / £600 / AU$1,199. However, this increment was disappointing, as the base eMMC storage was upgraded to a proper SSD, without significant improvements to warrant the price hike.
Should the Surface Laptop Go 3 emerge, it is expected to come with a slightly higher entry price, provided Microsoft delivers the anticipated enhancements in display, webcam quality, and overall specifications. However, it remains crucial for the line to maintain its budget-friendly status and affordability.
As for the release date, swirling rumors suggest a launch on September 21 at the Microsoft Surface event, with availability slated for September or October 2023. Until Microsoft officially confirms these details, the release date remains speculative.
