Microsoft Surface Book 3 13.5" - Pros & Cons

exceptionally well-made device
new ways of thinking
new connections
and new industries
particularly comfortable keyboard and a beautiful display
The screen is exceptional
thin and light device is well constructed
excellent addition
Microsoft delivers an incredibly comprehensive and powerful laptop
the hardware is complete
and the battery is good
the system itself is also properly secured
touchpad is smooth
accurate
and comfortable to click
the mics and camera are really good for video conferencing
crisp
bright and beautiful and now detaches significantly faster
The keyboard is still fantastic
smooth and responsive
The feedback is pleasant and the pressure point triggers an input almost immediately
cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye
Microsoft Surface 3 has very stable viewing angles
the keyboard and palm rest always remain pleasantly cool
Windows convertible perfectly suitable for playing media content in quiet environments
impressive components and cutting-edge features vying
portability
a stunning display
elegance and quality
the design and build of this laptop exudes quality
roomy
quiet
and features exceptional response
pretty great
The colors are vibrant and accurate
battery life is solid
responsive tracking and a very stable clicking mechanism
the ability to resume quickly
is also excellent
stable
smooth
and very durable
Laptop 4 is actually pretty good
the best built portable PCs on the market and offers a unique set of features
slick
precise and satisfying
gorgeous magnesium casing and a very high quality overall
the tablet is quite remarkable
Battery life is also better than average for this category

the speakers are just too small to produce a spacious and full sound
no stand
are too vast to pack into a single device
lack of a stand limits tablet mode somewhat
Hybrid design leaves screen with no kickstand
no included cover or kickstand here to help you prop up the screen
not quite powerful enough for high-end creative work
The speakers are not ideal either
the Surface Book 3 is too expensive
Battery life is less superlative
fulcrum hinge that connects the laptop base to the screen
not ideal
lack of Thunderbolt support on the USB-C port somewhat disappointing
The laptop does not feature a fingerprint scanner
hundreds of millions of dollars are still missing from the exchange
the lack of Thunderbolt 3 is frustrating
large and wobbly hinge
RTX 4090 power adapter and only one is experiencing issues
None of this will be new to Surface enthusiasts
Having only one USB-C port is disappointing
Surface Book 3 is a much more expensive device
Neither of those machines have a discrete graphics card
expensive
no 6 or 8-core processor options
The batteries in each part of the machine are not user replaceable
the Surface Book 3 functions poorly
lack of a removable display on Apple's device
Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to
response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (22
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
the RAM nor the mass storage can be upgraded or expanded
high price tag and weak processor
notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession
lack of H-series processors
much like the Surface Pro tablet
none have dedicated GPU option
RTX is not offered in the consumer model
work with split-screen apps
Microsoft used a GPU with GDDR5 memory
the Core i5 model does not come with the dedicated GPU
the 13. 5-inch model is a bit disappointing
there is no support for HDR or Dolby Vision
fans turned off in just a minute
track pad is kinda small in proportion to the laptop size
no creaks or weak points due to the unibody design
still slightly slower than the other three competitors
obvious lack of a physical keyboard and touchpad
the Surface Book 3 is not for everyone
graphical bells and whistles in full visual
not exactly cutting edge
rather expensive and compromised
support Thunderbolt 3

Microsoft Surface Book 3 Review: An Expensive 2-In-1

Microsoft's refreshed 2-in-1 brings more power than ever before—but for the price, you're getting neither the best tablet nor the best laptop.
