Customer Ratings & Reviews

The surface book 3, so far, is an outstanding computer. One aspect that most reviewers don't emphasize is that it has possibly the most comfortable and ergonomic keyboard on a laptop. In my opinion it is as good as the original IBM ThinkPad keyboards from the 90s. This makes all the difference in productivity especially if one has to work long hours in front of it. The touchpad also is the most responsive pad I've used on a windows computer. Overall I've been very happy with this computer. As some reviewers say, it indeed is a compromise of a device because it has only the Intel 15 watt processor in it. This is the only downside, but being able to have all of the processor and cooling in the tablet portion does solve one huge engineering issue that most laptops get wrong: being able to actually use it on your lap without covering up exhaust/intake ports. This is a big deal, especially on laptops like the Dell XPS 9575. If you have it on your lap, the exhaust ports get blocked by your legs which leads to overheating. On the SB3, the exhaust ports are located near the hinge and are facing upward, so this problem is effectively eliminated. It would be very difficult to cool a 45 watt CPU residing in the tablet portion, so the use of the mobile 15 watt CPU makes sense for this laptop. Still, it is super fast for what it is, and will be fine for most use cases. Of course, the price is totally ridiculous on a level that it is almost comedic, but since there are no other competitors in terms of detachability, total engineering perfection, and overall build quality, it is what your going to have to pay. The lack of reparability is concerning, but if you are going to drop 3 grand on a laptop, it would be wise to go ahead and shell out $300 more for the extended warranty/accidental damage policy. Overall, this is the mobile workstation I've dreamed of and I hope it lasts a long time. So far so good! Way to go Microsoft!

Light and sleek with several connection options. Please buy a protection case and a screen anti-glare protector and join various Surface Book groups on Social Media sites like Reddit. Make use of the SD card slot for adding more "more hard drive" space.

I previously had the surfacebook pro2 but I got the disconnect of death. That's when the screen constantly disconnect from the keyboard automatically until the screen or keyboard overheats. The 3 is supposedly faster and fixes the past issues. So far I can see that the 3 is faster than the 2 but the 3 run hotter. The display is the best on the market. Cons. Still can't make up grades to RAM HDD or anything else. VERY over price. So why did I buy because I'm a gamer, artist, and engineer. I would definitely encourage you to look at other laptops because one can find something MUCH cheaper. However, if you are able to purchase than it great laptop. (For now)

Amazing computer! I needed a new computer and although it was on the pricey side it was well worth it! It is great for graphic design. The only thing is I wish they made protective cases or some sort of screen protector for it. I searched Amazon and the Microsoft store but nothing. With how much I payed for it I want to protect it.

Overall love the new laptop, ease of use, and larger screen. Unfortunately, the sound system is not working consistently, which is an issue during video conferences during the pandemic. Be aware. Too expensive for early failures.

Very fast ultra smooth ride. High price and truly a Ferrari. Sleek style and magnetic. Big display that is detachable as Tablet. Bought it instead a of a Mac and glad I did. Microsoft hidden secret. Friends jealous and family too.

This is a great product, very versatile, but for most average users this laptop maybe overkill. I decided to splurge on it, even though I did not need all of the power it offers.

Love this computer The first one that shipped had a defect you got another on order the same day and I only had to wait another 5 weeks.

I compared a number of different laptops and found this one to best suit my needs. Lightweight, decent battery life, and excellent screen.

One of several I got for my business.. because these are some of the coolest laptops there are!

A little heavier than what I expected, but great. I love the large tablet!

Great product. This 2-in-1 laptop computer with the features of both laptop and tablet is enhanced machine for office work and students.

Bought for college student and should be able to handle whatever is thrown at it. Solid 2in1 with so many capabilities.

Upgrading from an 11-year old Windows 7 laptop to this beauty has been wonderful! Such a difference! Love it!!!

Very nice and super fast laptop, pad, etc. I like how the screen detaches from the keyboard

Highly recommend for college students and anyone who works from home only if you want a 2-in-1 laptop

This is what I really wanted/needed and I am s happy that I bought it.
