Sign inI wanted to like this laptop since it has a great screen/aspect ratio, pleasing design, and latest intel chips. But my screen brightness is stuck at 100% so its irritating to use (esp. at night) and does not last on battery. Was told its a known issue with Surface Laptop 3 and they don't know when they will have a fix yet. Please up-vote this as helpful so that MS prioritizes fixing this issue which is harmful to my eyes! You may find yourself in this situation one day, so please up-vote this so that MS knows they need to get software fixes in ASAP.
I have had a lot of laptops over the years as kind of a tech junkie. Always like the latest processor. I have to say this is the best laptop I have ever owned to date. It is impressively designed. It is fast and sleek. I do wish there was an anti reflective finish on the screen and maybe an oled option but the screen is really nice. The size is perfect. I have the 13.5 inch model in black. The battery life is good and the speakers sound really good. The intel i7 10th gen processor is really good and the integrated gen 11 graphics from intel are actually very good. It is equivalent to an Nvidia mx230. There is really nothing but good things to say. It is a little expensive but it is worth it. It puts everything else to shame. Microsoft really is doing a great job with their surface line. I am very happy with my laptop. I am very hard to please. Did I say this was the best looking laptop I have ever had with excellent build quality. Go get one already!!
I bought the AMD 15 inch surface laptop 3 and was quite disappointed with the processor performance. 4k video playback was choppy and laggy. Exchanged it for the 13 inch with i5 processor, which provides better overall performance. If you’re going for the 15 inch one make sure you choose the business version with intel processor
Got the Ryzen 7 15” version in October. I use this laptop primarily for photo editing using Photoshop. This machine boots up quickly and loads apps faster than any Mac I have ever owned. Processes images smoothly with very little wait time. Works very well with my Dell 27” 4K monitor. After 27 years of using Macs I am glad I made the move to the Surface 3 laptop. Could not be happier.
I've owned the Lenovo C940, Dell XPS 4k and this laptop (Intel chip) is by far the best. Incredible touch screen that is bright. Great keyboard. Better screen ratio than normal 16:9 laptop. Plenty fast for any work related programs. You won't be disappointed. (and no...I don't work for Microsoft...it's that good).
I would give it a 4 out of 5 but plus one just for the aesthetics. Got the 13.5 inch model. Extremely slim, extremely sleek and of course extremely powerful. Battery life is awesome, charges super fast, runs things smoothly. Though there are minor software glitches here and there but nothing you can't get fixed. Currently I have an issue with minor brightness flickering in night mode and would get it fixed soon. Windows hello is blazing fast, audio output is remarkable, no heating issues, and again, it looks stunning!
The Alcantera is crazy comfortable. The screen is just perfect. The keys are a decent amount of travel and are comfortable to type on. Windows Hello is fast and good. No issues so far. You can barely hear the fan
I was debating getting a Dell XPS 15 (2019) or the Surface Book 3. What sold me was the 3:2 aspect ratio screen. I use the laptop for mostly web browsing and work related items. The screen is so much larger that a traditional 15 inch machine. It makes a big difference. Some of the reviews complain about the speed. I have not found that to be an issue whatso ever. I bought the 500g hd and 16 mb of Ram. The build on this machine is excellent. Very high quality great keyboard. What also sold me was the weight. It is very thin and light. The screen clarity and brightness is excellent. The bottom line is this is a thin, light, high quality laptop with large screen (for a laptop) that is a great all around machine with no fan noise. Yes it is a little on the pricey side but I expect to use this surface book 3 for the next 10 years. People will go spend 1000 for a phone and have it for 3 years or less.
I was happy to hear about Microsoft finally offering a Ryzen option for Surface. But I wasn't happy to see that there's significant battery discharge when the Ryzen Surface Laptop 3 is idle. The Intel version doesn't seem to have this problem which suggests that the Ryzen chip specifically is the culprit. This is unfortunate because it seems that every Surface upgrade for the last few years has had some sort of heat related/battery discharge issue. I was able to bear with it earlier due to what Surface devices offer on the positive side. But to still have these issues in 2019 is ridiculous, especially for how much these devices cost. I just want a Surface device (be it Laptop, Book or Studio) that functions as advertised without serious drawbacks in terms of heat and/or battery discharge.
It took less than 24 hours to decide that this just wasn't going to be the laptop for me. I thought I'd enjoy the matte black metal, but it's remarkably bad about showing fingerprint and hand marks - to a crazy degree. The keyboard also feels weird and kind of mushy to me, compared to the laptop I came from. It's hard to explain, but the experience wasn't very pleasant. Then there's the proprietary charger, lack of thunderbolt 3, only one of each of the two types of USB ports, and the price premium you're paying to have the same hardware as all the competitors just in a body with the Microsoft logo on it. It's too hard to justify the brand premium with all the corners it feels like they cut.
