Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 – 13.5 Touch-Screen – Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory – 1TB Solid State Drive – Matte Black

Apart from its beautiful design, build quality and great keyboard, there’s nothing good about this laptop which every user expect. 11.5 hrs battery life is a clear LIE from microsoft. Mine doesn’t even last 4 hrs. As per testing purpose, I only watched netflix once and it lasted only 4.75 hrs at 50% brightness!!! I have already got one replacement within first 3 month of use and still the results are almost same. Add couple hundreds more to your budget and get a thinkpad.

Perfect size and weight for someone who often travels. Powerful enough for light coding and office applications.

I loved this laptop! I had been using a 15in for about 4 years and was fed up with heavy clunky laptops. This laptop is so thin and light it baffles me. Its super convient to take around everywhere. I got the i7 version and it runs fantastic. I know apple products have been slim and light for a while but theyre vastly over priced. This laptop is great and Ide recommened it to anyone looking for a thin and light laptop. The battery life is also great although I run heavier programs than the average person so Im always charging it before I go off to school but it still has a better battery than my old laptop. I havnt done gaming on here but Ive hear it runs a hardy okay.

This review is focused on the hardware only, it’s not about Windows 10.

Hate the keyboard. It must have been designed for girls. Battery does not last 1 day if you are surfing the Internet. Would not buy this again.

I have had 4 of these. 3 have developed cracked screens and Microsoft could care less. Micro soft cusrtomer service is the worst I have ever experienced. First, it takes 10-14 days to get a repair/replacement, so unless you have a bunch of extra devices laying around with all of your stuff loaded, you will be SOL. 2nd, they will replace a defective device with a defective device, and once ytour warranty runs out, you are again SOL, since the warranty only goes back to the original purchase date. Stay away from any hardware put out by this once great company. As a former fanboy, this pains me to say.

So far this Microsoft Surface laptop 3 has been a workhorse of a machine. The build quality is nice and it is a minimalist, yet elegant design. Battery life has been pretty good but I’m not quite sure I’m getting the 11.5 hrs or so. It might be closer to 6-7 with light productivity use for school/work. Overall, I’m satisfied and the seller appears very reputable by selling actual new products (emonkey).

What I expected.

Lo maximo

Im a big fan of this laptop. I used to use a macbook air but it died with battery issues so I had been looking for a comparably sized upgrade but to a windows machine. This laptop is sleek it works great and the touch screen features really open up some possibilities with the laptop and my use that didnt exist prior. In reality though the touch screen is mostly used by my daughter to close video calls by hitting the big red button. Aside from that the keyboard somewhat is in the way of me using it too often.
