According to the latest leaks, Microsoft's Surface Go 2 will be available within weeks. Apple and its iPad Air should get the memo.

New FCC filing documents have been uncovered by WindowsLatest (via Laptop Mag and TechRadar). The key takeaway from this document is that the Go 2's LTE has been confirmed and its compatibility with Wi-Fi 6 has been reaffirmed thanks to Intel's Wi-Fi 6 AX200 network adapter. This means that if you want to buy the relevant model, you will be able to get 4G connectivity on the Go 2, and with a Wi-Fi 6 router, you will have access to the fastest and most reliable WiFi speeds available on all versions.

The Intel adapter is expected to extend Go 2's battery life with the Target Wake Time feature. This allows the adapter to consume power only when data transfer is necessary, reducing overall power consumption. The original Surface Go was particularly short on battery life, totaling just over 6 hours, and we expect this change to improve that.

The most relevant comparison to the Surface Go is Apple's iPad Air, which prioritizes portability over other important factors. iPad Air can last about 10 hours on a single charge, making it a much better choice than the Go for users who want something that can work reliably all day long. Go. However, these changes may mean that the iPad Air can no longer win such an easy longevity victory over its Microsoft counterpart, at least until Apple's rumored iPad Air update comes out.

The Surface Go 2 will likely debut in May or June as part of a series of major Microsoft announcements. These announcements may also include the Surface Headphones 2 and the long-awaited Xbox Series X.
