Welcome to the Tech Meme Ride Home for Wednesday, June 1st, 2022. I'm Brian McCullough today.

The Surface Laptop Go gets a refresh. The Supreme Court has blocked that Texas social media law for now.

Twitter, is it really going to take Tweed Deck away from us? Really? And the

really interesting new Android phone that attempts to strip every googly

thing it can out of the phone out of the Android experience. Here's what you miss today

in the world of tech.

Microsoft has updated the Surface Laptop Go with 11th Gen Intel

CPU alongside a so-called improved webcam and Thermals starting at $600 shipping on June 7th, quoting the

verge. The original Surface Laptop Go was released in 2020 as Microsoft's

attempt to compete with Chromebooks. It had a lower starting price than the rest of the

Surface Laptop lineup and a smaller 12.4 inch touch display that maintained Microsoft's

signature 3 by 2 aspect ratio. Resolution sits at 1536 by 1024.

Little of this has changed for its successor,

which measures in at just 10.95 by 8.12 by 0.62 inches and weighs a little under 2.5 pounds.

That said, there have been some tweaks with the Surface Laptop Go2.

Its starting price has gone up by $50. Likely because Microsoft has

cut the base version that shipped with just 64 gigabytes of storage.

It's also available in a new green slash gray sage color which joins the pre-existing blue,

sandstone and platinum options. The rated battery life has gone from 13 hours to

up to 13 and a half hours and the laptop is also shipping with Windows 11 this time around.

Finally, Microsoft says that the Surface Laptop Go has more replaceable components,

including the keyboard and trackpad, display, and battery, though they're designed to be replaced by one of Microsoft's authorized repair providers.
