Microsoft has officially introduced its Surface Go 2 devices

to the South African market, selling from R8 999.

The first-generation Surface is a hybrid tablet-to-laptop convertible device first developed and manufactured by Microsoft in 2012.

The Surface Go 2 is the upgraded version, designed to have a bigger 10.5-inch touchscreen, better resolution, and long battery life to help keep up with customers’ evolving needs.

The device is available from Incredible Connection stores and Vodacom from today.

“We’re excited to expand our Surface family with the addition of Surface Go 2 – our smallest and lightest two-in-one laptop,” says Vithesh Reddy, consumer and channel marketing director at Microsoft South Africa.

“Its compact design and the versatility of a touchscreen and keyboard will appeal to businesses, schools, students and families.”

Surface Go 2 brings a more affordable and portable two-in-one device to the Surface line, according to Microsoft. It can handle everyday tasks; from jotting down ideas, to helping out with homework and creating

and practising presentations, to managing e-mail.

Surface Go 2 has a thin, lightweight design, and offers a 10.5-inch edge-to-edge PixelSense display, dual Studio Mics, a 5MP front-facing camera and fast performance with Intel processors.

It comes equipped with built-in WiFi capabilities, warranties and extended warranties.

“Sharing Surface Go 2 with your family is seamless and secure, with parent-managed screen time limits, spending control and content filtering – plus plenty of space for your photos, videos and music,” adds Reddy.
