Microsoft has officially announced the next version of the Surface Laptop Go, fittingly titled “Surface Laptop Go 2” which features a better processor, faster graphics, and kills off the 64GB eMMC base model in favor of one with 128GB SSD storage.
It’s also available in a new Sage color, which mixes hints of green, silver, and blue together for a unique looking design.

There is a new Sage color option, but that’s the only external difference you’ll notice. The bigger changes are on the inside, with improved thermal cooling, and more replacable parts including the keyboard, trackpad, display, battery, and Surflink cable.
