Microsoft Surface Book 3 13.5

The Microsoft Surface Book 3 is the latest addition to the Surface-Book family. With this latest addition, Microsoft has updated its multi-talented device to Intel’s Ice-Lake generation. In terms of its design, the Surface Book 3 is surrounded by a magnesium alloy that was also used for the keyboard dock. Since the hardware is almost completely on the display, the convertible is somewhat heavy, especially at the top. While it is very steady on the table, special care needs to be given if the device will be used while being placed on the thighs, as there is a high possibility of the device tipping backwards. It should also be noted that the Surface Book does not have maintenance hatches or anything of that sort. However, the holding mechanism between the keyboard dock and the tablet is very reliable.

The Surface Book 3 has been equipped with a 13.5-inch touch-capable IPS panel screen with a 3000 x 2000 pixel resolution. However, the dimensions of the device are somewhat unusual compared to other Windows tablets. This is not only due to the fact that the tablet has a rather rare 3:2 display format, but also because of its height in connection with the keyboard dock. Due to the unusual hinge, the Surface Book 3 has a thickness of 2.4cm, which makes the device anything but slim.

As far as connectivity is concerned, this device has been packed with only a few ports. It should nevertheless be noted that there is a surface connector on both the tablet and the keyboard dock, which acts in conjunction with the optionally available Surface Dock 2. The Surface Dock 2 is able to provide all conceivable ports. The device itself comes with a USB Type-C port that can also be used to charge the device.

In terms of its keyboard, the Microsoft Surface Book 3 has a keyboard that is well suited for longer typing tasks. The pressure point almost immediately triggers an input, and the feedback is also very pleasant. The labels on the keyboard are readable even when the lighting is deactivated. However, in the presence of the white light, it would be rather difficult to decipher the labelling of the silver keys in bright surroundings. Contrastingly, in poor or no ambient light surrounding, the keyboard is evenly illuminated and easy to see.

As for the processor, the device comes in two different variations. The model with the Intel Core i5-1035G7 with the integrated Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 is well-suited for everyday tasks, while for more graphics performance, users would have to use the model with the Intel Core i7-1065G7 and the integrated Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q. Overall, the Surface Book 3 offers a lot of qualities for a smaller convertible model, but the choice of owning one depends on the needs and preferences of the users.

The third generation of the Microsoft Surface Book 3 remains a stunning physical specimen with world-beating engineering and a unique feature set. However, it's very expensive compared to the conventional laptops that will be a better fit for most user's needs.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (13.5-inch) review: Sleek and sophisticated
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
A sensible upgrade to the already stellar series, the introduction of a USB-C port, larger trackpad, and more power add plus-points onto its impressive score sheet. However, there's no Thunderbolt 3 speeds from that USB-C port, which is an oddity. And there aren't that many ports either. Those points aside, however, this is one sleek and sophisticated Windows laptop.

Microsoft Surface Book 3: It Surely Does the Job but You Need Deep Pockets
Source: iTech Post English Archive.org version
Microsoft Surface Book 3 promises to bridge the gap between a traditional laptop and a tablet. But from experience, this approach hasn't usually worked out fine for either side. As much as possible, users prefer laptops with a justifiable screen real estate. Usually, a portable computing device that has a 12.5" to 14" screen is the sweet spot. However, those screen sizes aren't usually ideal for tablet PCs. Aside from the weight, the large handheld devices can be a pain to hold since most tablets are design to be held on one hand with the other hand taking care of touching the screen.

Microsoft Surface Book 3 (13.5) review – a rarely seen abomination that deserves your attention
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Despite that, there are some things like the lack of Thunderbolt support, practically no upgradability, and an unimpressive I/O. On the other side of the scale, you will find the WiFi 6 support, ability to work with a stylus, and pretty much everything else we just said about this device. And it definitely deserves our Editor’s choice award, thanks to its unnatural design and huge versatility.

70% Microsoft Surface Book 3 review: Please Microsoft, just make a convertible

The Surface Book is and always has been a very cool idea. It's a powerful laptop that lets you detach the screen. I'm just not sure that it's practical for most users looking to buy a premium PC. And if it is practical, surely the 15-inch model makes more sense with its additional power and larger screen.

Ultimately, Microsoft’s Surface Book 3 is a powerful option for anyone who needs to do heavy professional work while on the go. It’s also arguably one of the most versatile laptops available thanks to its detachable display. If you’re drawing, inking or doing other digital art, that will likely be invaluable to you. Outside of those use cases, I never found a need to take the screen off.

83% Microsoft Surface Book 3 13.5 review: A bold but ageing beauty
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
Have you seen the original 13-inch 2015 Surface Book, or its 2018 followup? Then this new version is going to look and feel very familiar. In fact, you're likely to be underwhelmed by the design. That's not because it's bad, but rather because it's the same. It's not unusual for Apple to release three samey-looking MacBook Pros in a row, or for Dell to do so with its XPS line, but those laptops come out every year. The Surface Book, Windows' laptop-tablet hybrid, has retained the same design language since 2015.

There are some things that we really enjoyed about it, like the build quality, the keyboard and the 2-in-1 design, but there are other things that really bothered us.

Surface Book 3: Revisiting A Modern Classic
Source: MrMobile English Archive.org version
As I said in my hands-on with the Razer Blade Pro 17 a couple weeks back, now is the time for big beefy laptops to shine – because for most of us sheltering in place, our travel is limited to hopping from room to room. Now, Microsoft's 15" Surface Book 3 isn’t a desktop replacement like that Razer Blade; but it is one of the only computers that becomes a tablet on demand. And that means despite its familiar looks, it’s worth a video tour! Join Michael Fisher for a look at the Surface Book 3's (nearly identical) hardware, a musing or two about the long-term durability of its one-of-a-kind hinge, and an extended gushing session about Microsoft's Your Phone app ... in MrMobile's Surface Book 3 Hands-On!

75% Microsoft’S 13.5-Inch Surface Book 3 Puts Modern Guts In A Dated Design
Source: The Verge English Archive.org version
I've been a 13.5-inch Surface Book 2 owner since 2018. I love the thing because it has a combination of unique advantages, such as its 3:2 aspect ratio, discrete GPU options, and unique detachable screen, that you won’t find in any other laptop on the market. But those features brought with them a number of small (but glaring) flaws: a large and wobbly hinge, a limited port selection, and very visible bezels. If Microsoft fixed those, I thought the new Surface Book 3 could be a nearly perfect device.

88.3% Microsoft Surface Book 3 15 Convertible Review: Still great, but is it better than its predecessor? | Notebookcheck
We are pushing the almost unrivaled 15-inch convertible Surface Book 3 through our various test scenarios. Both the tablet hardware (i7 Ice Lake, G7 graphics) and the convertible hardware (GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q) look even more impressive compared to the predecessor (i7 Kaby Lake refresh, GTX 1060). But is the current model actually more powerful and is the difference noticeable enough to warrant an upgrade? These are questions we will attempt to answer in our review.
Microsoft Surface Book 3 (15) review – Stranger Things or the new normal
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Microsoft Surface Book 3 (15)’s display has a touchscreen IPS panel (LP150QD112604) with a very high resolution (near 4K), comfortable viewing angles, very good contrast ratio, and 92% sRGB coverage. Its factory calibration is pretty decent, but when our Gaming and Web design profile is applied, the color-accuracy improves even further to a standard-matching level. This makes it usable for Web design, creative work, and e-commerce. However, our particular unit suffered from a severe non-uniformity in the top right corner, which declassifies it for the aforementioned workflow, should you desire perfection. On the bright side, the panel doesn’t use aggressive PWM so it’s generally safe for work.

It's not exactly surprising how much of a difference a different processor can make. AMD has gained ground on Intel, but the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3's Intel version is clearly the better model. Plus, its minimalist design brings it on par with the MacBook Pro. If only its screen were a little brighter and it packed a Thunderbolt 3 port.

Microsoft Surface Book 3 15-inch review: Still unique, still expensive
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
The Microsoft Surface Book 3 is also a very expensive laptop for its specs. The model I have, with 512GB of storage and 32GB of RAM, costs $2,799, which is pricey for a laptop with an ultrabook CPU. But you don’t buy a Surface Book for power. You buy it for its incredible industrial design and unique functionality — which is nearly impossible to find in any other laptop.

Source: CNet English Archive.org version
Microsoft's update to the 15-inch Surface Book 2, the aptly named Surface Book 3 ($1,600 at Best Buy), remains essentially the same. It's still the laptop that tries to be all things to all people: it's a clamshell, a convertible and a standalone tablet, where most laptops settle for two out of three. But in the past couple of years the competition for creative dollars has gotten a lot tougher while the Surface Book has pretty much stood still. If you want its exact combination of convertible/detachable/clamshell operation or want to stick with it as an upgrade from the Surface Book 2, it won't disappoint.

The Microsoft Surface Book 3's got all the makings of the laptop/tablet hybrid that we're still looking for, giving both a solid tablet and excellent laptop experiences. But as comparative benchmark tests have shown in this Surface Book 3 review, even in its more expensive configurations its performance, battery life and display rarely stand out from the pack, only rarely actually beating competitors.

I started this review by admitting the Surface Book used to be my dream laptop. That luster has faded over the years, and Microsoft hasn't done much to give this unique 2-in-1 a new polish. And while it's the only device to offer a genuine laptop and tablet in one package, there are limitations to each of its forms.

65% Microsoft Surface Book 3 (15-Inch) Review: More Power, More Problems
Source: The Verge English Archive.org version
A slightly thicker Surface Laptop 3 with a good GPU would appeal to most of the developers and creatives at which Microsoft is trying to aim this machine. The Surface Book 3 is certainly unique, as it’s always been, but the tablet functionality is aimed at such a small market that I’m not entirely sure who would pick this over Dell’s new XPS 15 or XPS 17 or a gaming laptop like Razer’s Blade 15. You’ll get more for your money elsewhere, unless you really want a detachable display. The Surface Book 3 is still the only solid choice for that.

Microsoft Surface Book 3 15 review: Likeable but not loveable
Source: Tech Switch English Archive.org version
Microsoft’s replace to the 15-inch Surface Book 2, the aptly named Surface Book 3, stays basically the identical. It’s nonetheless the laptop computer that tries to be all issues to all individuals: it is a clamshell, a convertible and a standalone pill, the place most laptops accept two out of three. But prior to now couple of years the competitors for artistic {dollars} has gotten lots more durable whereas the Surface Book has just about stood nonetheless. If you need its precise mixture of convertible/removable/clamshell operation or need to keep it up as an improve from the Surface Book 2, it will not disappoint.

Microsoft Surface Book 3 review: The 'ultimate laptop' needs new ideas
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
Microsoft’s Surface Book 3 attempts to be all things for all people: the PC you create with during the day, and the laptop you relax with at night. Honestly, Microsoft’s vision of a big, beautiful workstation/tablet/gaming PC/productivity machine has always deeply resonated with me. It's hard to find a gaming PC with such an excellent keyboard, or a productivity laptop with such a powerful GPU inside. All of this is elegantly wrapped, with the Surface bow on top. This is Microsoft’s premier PC experience.

It's been about 2.5 years since the Surface Book 2, Microsoft's laptop that tries to be all things to all people; it's a clamshell, a convertible and a detachable, where most laptops settle for two out of three. Even after all that time, the Surface Book 3 gets a mostly run-of-the-mill refresh, launched along with a brushed-up version of Microsoft's tiniest tablet, the Surface Go 2: 10th-gen Intel processors with the accompanying memory improvements, current-generation Nvidia GTX graphics, upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 and a bump to 10Gbps USB-C from 5Gbps.

Comment

Microsoft:

Microsoft smartphones and tablets have been tested since 2012. There are many reviews with average ratings. The reader's interest is quite given, but the market share is not big enough for the Top 5 smartphone manufacturers (as of 2016).


With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q: Mid range dedicated graphics card for thin and light laptops based on the GTX 1650 but with reduced clock speeds and power consumption. Uses the Turing architecture (TU117 chip in 12nm FFN) but without Raytracing or Tensor cores.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q: Mid range dedicated graphics card for thin and light laptops based on the GTX 1660 Ti with reduced clock speeds and optimized drivers.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Ice Lake:

i7-1065G7: Ice Lake-based quad-core processor for thin and light laptops. The four cores are clocked at 1.3 GHz to 3.9 GHz and should offer 18% more IPC (instructions per clock) than the previous generations (and therefore partly close the clock speed gap). Produced on first-gen 10 nm Intel process.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers. 

15.00:

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


No weight comment found (one expected)!


79.07%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
