Surface Book 3 15-inch review: Beautiful, yet limited

 

The Surface Book 3 offers a few hardware upgrades, but its unique design is clearly holding it back against more powerful competitors. It's still a compelling option for creatives, but be aware there are far faster machines for the same price.

Materials feels high quality ; Excellent screen ; Better GPU than Surface Book 2

Hardware isn’t as fast as the competition ; Heavy ; Detachable screen isn’t very useful

Microsoft Surface Book 3 review: Graphics unleashed

 

Microsoft's most adventurous laptop, the Surface Book 3, has been upgraded with extra power under the hood. Is that enough to keep this aging design fresh?

Unique 2-in-1 design ; Big, sharp display ; Powerful graphics ; Great video editing performance ; Excellent keyboard

Limited processor performance ; Very overpriced ; Reduced battery life

Microsoft Surface Book 3 (15-Inch) Review

 

Unique detachable design ; Powerful graphics processor ; Many configuration options ; Comfortable keyboard ; Dual 1080p cameras ; Beautiful PixelSense display

Pricey ; Keyboard base adds significant weight

With an advanced mechanical locking system for the keyboard base, powerful graphics processing, multiple cameras and batteries, and a brilliant near-4K display, the Surface Book 3 is an innovative, excellent detachable laptop.

Microsoft Surface Book 3 (15-inch) review: more power, more problems

 

The Surface Book 3 is held back by a design that hasn't changed in nearly five years

Great keyboard ; 3:2 nearly 4K display ; GPU performance

No Thunderbolt 3 support ; Hinge detach and GPU reliability issues ; Battery life underwhelming

The Microsoft Surface Book 3 is still a unique machine for a unique audience. It has a 10th Gen quad-core i7, up to 32GB of RAM, up to 2TB SSD storage, and Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max Q GPU.

Microsoft Surface Book 3 (15-inch) review

 

The Surface Book 3 is a magical laptop/tablet hybrid but past shortcomings haven't been addressed

High-res display gets very bright ; Attractive looks and premium feel ; Comfortable keyboard ; Long battery life (in laptop mode) ; Reliable IR camera

Thick and heavy ; Middling performance for its class ; No Thunderbolt 3 and only one USB-C ; Expensive

Microsoft's Surface Book 3 isn't much of an upgrade but it remains the best solution for those who need a tablet and laptop in one device.

The Microsoft Surface Book 3 (15-Inch) Review: A Refreshing Dip Into Ice Lake

Review: Surface Book 3 delivers more of the same — and that's (mostly) good

 

Microsoft's Surface Book 3 doesn't veer far from the late-2017 version, but it does refresh nearly all the internal hardware. The results deliver impressive performance in an Ultrabook laptop. Surface Book 3 is the top of its class despite these minor...

Excellent build quality with unique design ; Very good graphics performance ; All-day battery life ; It does nearly everything

Design is getting old ; No Dolby Vision/HDR ; No anti-glare display

From $1,399 at Microsoft Bottom line : Surface Book 3 (15-inch) doesn't change much from the previous version ... except all the internal hardware. That results in a very powerful 2-in-1 15-inch convertible that still has few peers. Luckily, Surface...

Microsoft Surface Book 3 15-inch review: Still unique, still expensive

 

The Microsoft Surface Book 3 is a beautiful piece of industrial engineering with a unique design you can't find anywhere else. But it lacks some of the improvements you'd expect to see after almost three years.

Fantastic keyboard ; Great industrial design ; Good battery life ; Unique functionality ; Beautiful, sharp display ; SD card slot

Expensive for the specs ; Quiet speakers ; Dim display ; Restrained performance
