Surface Go 2 is the 10.5-inch entry-level Surface from 2020, with the same Surface Go port layout that survived through the Go 3 — one USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps, DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode, charging), the magnetic Surface Connect port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSDXC reader under the kickstand. No Thunderbolt, no USB-A. The Surface Type Cover connector at the bottom edge accepts the Surface Go typecover and works with both Go 2 and Go 3.
Surface Go 2 (10.5″, 2020): 1x USB-C 3.1 Gen 1, Surface Connect, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSDXC under kickstand.
