Excellent laptop/tablet combo
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great purchase for our college student. Best of both worlds laptop/tablet. Best feature removal of screen for tablet use with stylus to take notes in class. Works well with all the college programs. Streams video well. Speakers are just ok.

Blue screen freeze wit error and loud sound
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased SurfaceBook 3 in 2021, and it has been working fine in the first 6 months, however recently it shuts down a couple fo times in the middle of my work calls, and the screen freezes with a blue screen showing an error with a loud sound. I can't take any action until the system runs it course. It has been quite annoying as i have to cut off currently from work calls and can't log back in without waiting for at least 5 minutes. I can't figure out what the issue is as this is a new laptop and used very carefully.

Overall a good product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using Surface products for 7 years and would not buy another product. I like the Surface Book 3 however I have two complaints: 1) the computer has to be turned on in order to release the screen, 2) the micro SD card is in the keyboard part of the computer and not in the tablet portion, which means that if you have all your info stored on the SD card and release the tablet portion, you can't access your files; you have to copy them to "computer".

Good but not Great for 2020
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its definitely unique and very interesting but for the money, its just not enough. -No thunderbolt -Almost 4 lbs -Less than 4 hours of battery in tablet mode (real life) -Weird gap when closed gives it a larger than normal form factor -bezels around screen are large for 2020. I would seriously recommend a lenovo yoga c940, hp scpecture x360, or dell xps 13. All of these are 2 in 1 laptops that are cheaper and outperform the surface book 3. Microsoft needs to revamp the surface book for it to be a serious competitor. This is the same physical form factor since 2015.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhat are the differences between Surface Book 2 and Surface Book 3?
Asked by MicrosoftFAQ.
- A:Answer Surface Book 3 is our most powerful laptop ever, pairing an Intel 10th generation CPU with an NVIDIA discrete GPU and up to 32GB of RAM. Still thin and light, this powerhouse laptop provides up more performance Surface Book 2 and has the longest battery life of any Surface device. We kept the world-class all-glass precision trackpad and keyboard that our customers love, and the beautifully crisp, high-DPI PixelSense display now detaches from the keyboard base up to three times faster than Surface Book 2. Surface Book 3 13.5” is more than 50% faster and has 40% more graphics performance than Surface Book 2 13.5”.

Q: QuestionCan I use powerful games on Surface Book 3?
Asked by MicrosoftFAQ.
- A:Answer Surface Book 3 was designed to be a portable powerhouse. It's capable of rendering high fidelity, 3D objects in CAD to rendering true 4K video in Premier Pro. That kind of power has a meaningful impact on gaming scenarios – something critical to a significant number of Surface Book 3 users. The graphics power is delivered by a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM in the Surface Book 3 15” providing enough power to play the top Xbox Game Pass for PC games at 1080p in a smooth 60fps. For Implemented Game Mode, we partnered with Xbox and Windows to signal when gaming to automatically tune the performance for gaming. Windows quiets background tasks like Indexer and AV. Surface optimizes thermals and power to tune for gaming performance.
