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

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.

This was a gift for my wife who adores it.

I have had this computer for about a year, using it all day every work day. In general, its technical performance has been very good (better I would say than the many MacBook Airs I owned before). It handles many large applications and browser windows being open at once.

I purchased this machine because I recently purchased several Native Instruments plugins for use with my application copy of Fruity Loops. My old computer was struggling to even eek out a full measure without crackling or stuttering, so it was time.

Perfect

Im a total gadget nut and have a collection of laptops going back several years. This is by far the most compact and portable Ive ever had. Its also the smallest in terms of screen real-estate and the shrunken keyboard takes some getting used to. But overall Ive had a great experience with it so far.

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.

Battery life and screen quality both terrific.

When I got my daughter a used Surface Book 2, she fell in love with it. LOVED LOVED LOVED the battery life. And her artistic hand takes full advantage of the tablet mode. Sooo, I got a new Surface Book 3! WOW - I can see why she loves it. Love the inviting keyboard, the responsive BT and I adore the Surface Pen. Screen is GORGEOUS - TV never looked so good. I love the fact that I can take the tablet off and turn it around and reattach it, then still use it like a table, without using the keyboard. LOVE the battery life. This thing literally lasts all day. Im very impressed. I got the upgraded version with the larger hard drive so I could do Photoshop. Security features are effective, convenient and responsive. A very nice configuration indeed!

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.
