I just checked for and installed some Windows updates and now the Go 2 is working with the external monitor.

There appears to be a problem with the USB C video output. I have a USB C multi port adapter that I have used with my Go 1 to output to an HDMI TV as an external monitor. The Go 2 will not output to that setup. I unplugged the Go 2, plugged in the Go 1, and I have output to the TV. I was able...

I don’t have a USB C monitor that I can try, although I have used Duet on my Go 1 to output to an iPad Pro 10.5” and iPP 11” via USB C. I saw a YouTube video done by a Go 2 user in Ireland who reported that he could not get his Go 2 to output via USB C to an external monitor that worked with an...

If size and weight are your main concerns, then the Go 2 is probably worth it. I’m not paying any attention to benchmarks for comparison, just size. I went from a 12” ultraportable to a 13” ultraportable to a Surface Pro 3 to a Surface 3 to a Surface Go. For me, that 10-11” screen size is just...

The camera is just slightly higher on the Go 2 than on the Go 1 so the camera cutout is not in the right place. I recorded about 18-20 seconds without the screen protector and another clip about that length with it. The uncovered mics recorded at a nice volume although the sound was a little bit...

My Go 2 just arrived. I think I originally had a screen protector with one hole for the camera but Hello didn’t work with the sensor covered, so I ended up with replacements that had an opening for the camera and sensor but not for the mic. That’s what I got this time. I’m going to try using one...

The iPad/Go comparison bugs me. I love my iPad Pro 11 most of the time and it’s what I use most of the time for web surfing, email, etc. It has a smaller footprint than the Go because the keyboard folio doens’t have a track pad. However, I can’t download files that need to be transferred to SD...

Here’s a positive article from a guy who ran a bunch of games on a Go 2, some of them unsuccessfully. He was honest up front about it not being a gaming machine and didn’t let that fact color his conclusions. https://www.ign.com/articles/microsoft-surface-go-2-review

You are so right! My 8” Windows tablet was too small. The Surface Pro 3 and Surface 3 were too large. The Go/Go 2 are the “sweet spot” for me. They are large enough to use for actual work but small enough to haul with me and not take up a lot of space when set up. Before we switched to...

I found my package with the Joto screen protectors. The package says for 2018, but the new ones have two cutouts (a large one for the camera and a smaller one for who knows what?). The ones I got for the Go back in 2018 have just the one large camera cutout. I have emailed the vendor to see if I...

Joto is selling them on Amazon, says they are supposed to fit Go and Go 2. Mine were supposedly delivered today but I did not receive them so I can’t compare to the one I have left for my Go. So which model did you get? What do you think of it? MS has a pending charge on my credit card as of...

I figured that there might be some comments in this forum about it. Yours was the first one. This evening, I got the link so I could pay my invoice but I have no idea when it might ship.

I’m surprised that this is the first post about the Go 2 (or seems to be). Thank goodness the business hardware sales rep from the nearest MS store had my name on file and emailed me on announcement date! I’d already ordered a consumer version but cancelled because I didn’t want to go through...

HeyCori, I’ve managed to get my Go updated but I had some of the same problems you’ve mentioned. I started with two and a half hours on the phone with MS because facial recognition wasn’t working (only one light came on). The new driver fix mentioned in another post didn’t fix it so I called...

And with the Go, you have an actual functional Windows computer in a compact package. Don’t get me wrong, I love my new iPad Pro 11” LTE and use it way more than I use the Go. The iPP has a lot longer battery life and I find to more convenient to pick up and haul around than I do the Go...
