According to Windows Central, the company is working on a lightweight laptop that'll feature a 12.5-inch display, a 10th-generation Intel Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage in the base model.

That configuration could cost between $500 and $600, which would help Microsoft bridge the gap between Surface Go 2 (which starts at $399) and Surface Pro 7 ($749). That range would also make the device much cheaper than the base Surface Laptop 3, which costs $999.

Microsoft's rumored mid-range 12.5-inch Surface laptop to reportedly cost $699

A rumor from earlier this month stated that Microsoft is working on a more affordable Surface laptop for launch this holiday. The device – codenamed Sparti – is expected to be powered by a 10th-gen Intel Core i5 in its lowest tier and was rumored to cost anywhere between $500-$600. Now, a new report by WinFuture suggests that the 12.5-inch screen housing Surface could start at $699.99.

The report adds that the company is reportedly packing a 10th-gen Core i5 processor in the laptop. It is also expected to be offered with a minimum of 8GB of RAM, a departure from the 4GB speculation from an earlier rumor. [...] the firm may choose to pack at least 128GB of storage.

Additionally, each tier of the device is expected to increase by $100 while bumping up the storage, RAM, and processor configurations. The most expensive SKU is reportedly slated to cost $1,199. However, it is not known what specs the Redmond firm will offer that top-of-the-line SKU with.

Microsoft launches 'affordable' Surface Laptop Go but charges an insane amount for minimal storage

Today, Microsoft expands its Surface family of devices with a new, much more affordable Surface Laptop Go but hopefully you won't want to use it to install many apps or hold many files.

The Surface Laptop Go is powered by Intel's 10th Gen i5 Quad-Core processor with up to 16GB RAM and has a 12.4-inch PixelSense touchscreen display, large precision trackpad, and a full-size keyboard with 1.3mm key travel. It promises up to 13 hours of battery life and Fast Charging.
It has a built-in 720p HD camera and Studio Mics, plus Omnisonic Speakers and Dolby Audio surround. There are USB-A and USB-C ports, an audio jack and the Surface connector.

Storage is going to be an issue for many people though, as the base model, which is priced at $549.99, only has a 64GB SSD (and 4GB RAM) and the price rockets from there.
128GB storage, with 8GB of RAM, takes you to $699.99, while 256GB is $899.99.

There is another downside however, and that's it comes with Windows 10 Home in S mode so you’ll probably want to switch out of that as quickly as possible.
Surface Laptop Go is available in three metal finishes: Ice Blue, Sandstone, and Platinum.

You can order it today from here, and it will start shipping from October 27.

It's truly ridiculous, you have to be almost an idiot to buy this stuff at this price. It's the same with Apple desktops and laptops, you basically get less for more.
