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

So very easy to set up and enjoy!

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

I am very pleased with my purchase. It serves both my business and personal needs well.

I liked my Surface -- it was lite, compact, and had a great screen. I was an Apple user, but the financial software I use is better in Windows.

The Surface Laptop packs a lot of power into a small package. Its light and easy to carry around or slip into a backpack or briefcase. Battery life is decent. Its run everything Ive thrown at it so far without breaathing hard. It isnt quite up to major games that need a lot of graphics power, but its fine for casual games.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 – 13.5 Touch-Screen – Intel Core i7 – 16GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive (Latest Model) – Sandstone is an excellent choice if you are looking for a lightweight and powerful laptop. I love the large track pad and the easy use of the keyboard. The screen quality is outstanding. The stereo speakers have an excellent sound (in my opinion much better than my MacBook). The i7 Processor allows for quick response time.

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.

Do not buy refurbished/ used laptops from Amazon. Often times they are stolen and when you need software upgraded or fixed the manufacturer will not touch the computer when they figure out its stolen. Amazon will not refund or replace the computer with one that is not stolen. So you are stuck with stolen goods that can not be repaired through the manufacturer.

6+ month on Surface Laptop after being a MacBook Air user since 2011. It works great, looks prettier than Apple products. I havent had any issues (knock on wood!) with screen or battery as some other users experienced, so cant comment on that.

Ive had the MS Surface Laptop 3 for three months now. There are some things I love about it, particularly how fast it starts up, but Ive also experienced a range of issues that I wouldnt expect for a laptop of this price. Most notably, the screen has uneven lighting (most noticeable when looking at an all white background) and the audio and video are frequently out of sync. For these reasons I wouldnt recommend this model laptop.
