Microsoft's Surface Go 2 appears to be on the way, and the latest information leaks point to a larger display and improved performance for this smaller Windows 10 tablet.

Leaked benchmarks have previously indicated that the Surface Go 2 will upgrade performance over its predecessor by using more powerful Intel Core m3 and Pentium processors Windows Central is Microsoft's plan. A source close to the company confirmed this spec upgrade, but also revealed that the next Surface Go will have a larger 10.5-inch display with thinner bezels. [Microsoft has the Surface Pro 7 and the rumored Surface Book 3, so we don't expect the Surface Go 2 to be a strong tablet; the Surface Go is more of a companion machine to Windows 10 and an iPad Air Surface Go is more of a companion machine to Windows 10 and an excellent tablet for those who are not fans of the iPad Air.

However, a larger display with slimmer bezels is on our wish list for the next generation Surface Go. The original model featured a 10-inch PixelSense display, which offered punchy colors and contrast, but looked a bit dated because it was tucked between chunky bezels.

Also, software-based accidental touch protection allows Microsoft to make the bezels smaller. The company was able to significantly reduce the bezel on the Microsoft Surface Pro X, so it would certainly be appreciated if some of that design could be dropped into an entry-level Surface machine.

A smaller bezel and slightly larger display would help make the Surface Go a better pseudo-laptop when used with the optional Type Cover keyboard. The Surface Go 2's display resolution will also be increased from 1800 x 1200 to 1920 x 1280, which should help keep it looking sharp despite its increased size.

Aside from the display and spec changes, the Surface Go 2 will likely be a repeat upgrade from the original tablet. The original Surface Go's USB-C and USB Type-A ports, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Surface Connector for charging appear to be returning in the Surface Go 2. This is not a bad thing, as the ability to charge via USB-C was one of the more sophisticated touches in the original Surface Go.

We expect the Surface Go 2 to be unveiled at some point in May.
