Apple doesnt specify the Airs battery life other than to say its all day.
The Go is packaged in Microsofts usual sleek design and comes in a choice of several colors.
However, specifications for lower-end Go models imply performance will lag, observers say.
It’s smaller and lighter, and that’s about it.
RAM-Challenged
The amount of RAM Microsoft includes with the Go was less impressive to Consiglio.
Miller was also left wanting more with the Gos memory offerings.
The worst part is it comes with just 4GB of memory, he said.
In this day and age, 4GB barely puts you above the minimum.
After 2 to 4 years, it’s way below the standard.
Thus, by that time, you’ll have an obsolete laptop in your hands.
It also comes with just a 64GB eMMC storage.
Microsoft is clearly aiming to take on the low-end market with its new Go line.
