The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15’s price in India starts from Rs 2,79,999, with our model falling at little over 3.5 lakh.

Microsoft Surface Go 2 review: A satisfying 2-in-1 but at a costedit

When the first Surface Go came, I was not that impressed. Even though the Surface Go was a well thought out 2-in-1, it lacked the raw computing performance and suffered from mediocre battery life. The new Surface Go 2 iron out issues I had with the original Surface Go, and that’s a good sign. Unfortunately, the Go 2’s pricing in India is on the higher side, putting it beyond the reach of most student consumers who could have benefitted immensely from a device like this. I have spent most of the week testing the 10.5-inch Surface Go 2, and here’s my verdict.
