Reviews for the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 13 Core i5-1035G7

84% Sayonara, Alcantara: Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 13.5-inch Core i5 Review | Notebookcheck
The new aluminum metal chassis feels classier, stronger, smoother, and longer-lasting than the Alcantara versions that Microsoft have been shoving down our throats since the original Surface Laptop. If Microsoft could throw in some additional ports, then they might actually have a winner here.
Surface Laptop 3: The Practical Choice for Productivity [Review]
Source: Tech Acute English
When the device first came out, it started at $999.99. However, as of April 2021 and with the release of the Surface Laptop 4, you’ll most likely find a bargain for the Surface Laptop 3, starting with the Windows Store that’s selling it for $769.99 or you can have a look at deals on Amazon. In my opinion, the higher the spec is, the worst a deal it becomes especially as you get closer in price to its successor. Considering that the Surface Laptop 4 is an improved Surface Laptop 3, the one that you should get will depend on the deals available and how much those improvements are worth to you.

80% Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (13.5in) review: Save £350 in Amazon's Spring Sale
Source: Expert Reviews English
No two ways about it, the Surface Laptop 3 (13.5in) is an exceptionally good laptop. It's very light, slim and good looking, with performance across the board that’s a match for the best in the business. It's more practical than previous models, with non-Alcantara options that won’t get grubby, and a good spread of specifications means you can choose a model that suits your requirements and not pay more than you need to. As with most products, there is the odd area of weakness. It's high time Microsoft moved to wide-gamut displays on its hardware and, ideally, I'd have liked to see a Thunderbolt 3-equipped USB Type-C port, rather than plain old USB 3. It's also a touch disappointing that Microsoft has provided only one Type-C port. But these are relatively small complaints. If you want a laptop for work and, maybe, a little play, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 is a brilliant option with very few significant shortcomings.

80% Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 review: Premium price for a premium device
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
The Surface Laptop 3 with its design, hardware, and overall performance, doesn't attempt to do anything special. In fact, there's no attempt to even do so. What it does instead provides an extremely refined experience on a device that looks and feels as premium as anything else available in the market right now.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (13.5) review – the software giant is stepping up its game
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (13.5″)’s display (Sharp LQ135P1JX51 (SHP 14B3)) is touch-sensitive, has a very high resolution, and naturally for an IPS panel – comfortable viewing angles and good contrast ratio. Additionally, it has decent maximum brightness (400+ nits), adequate default settings and comfortable backlight in terms of PWM. Although all of that speaks well of the panel, there is something that represents it even better – the color accuracy. By default, the display is pretty color accurate, however, when you apply our Gaming and Web design profile, the Average dE drops to just 0.8, which makes it one of the most color-accurate displays we’ve had in our office.

The clock rate depends on the processor model ranging from 300 MHz base to 1050 - 1100 MHz boost. The Ice-Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm process at Intel produced.

The chip is manufactured in the modern 10nm process at Intel.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


13.50":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

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).


79%: 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.
