Buyer Beware. Surface Laptop 3 Random Screen Crack
|Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Features
Quality1 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use1 out of 5Please do not buy, or, at least read the following. These laptops have a possible design flaw in which the screens "randomly" crack from regular usage. Please do your research before you buy. Look up "Surface Laptop 3 random screen cracks". Many people are reporting that the screen of their laptops are cracking without accidental damage by the user. I purchased my laptop back in December at BestBuy. My screen cracked on March 17. I woke up and noticed a hairline crack on my screen - at the top. This crack spans the entire screen - it goes down. There is nothing I could have done to produce such a crack. I take care of my laptop. I never really used the touch screen either. Another thing I noticed - something that other people have reported - when closing the laptop you may sometimes hear a "cracking noise" between the screen and the keyboard. I had noticed this many times but could not figure out what it was. I never had any debris between my screen and keyboard. I have tried to contact Microsoft and they only offered to replace the laptop for a deductible of 600-750 dollars. I am still currently emailing back and forth with them. I refuse to pay for something that is not my fault. Microsoft has also reported that they are aware of this problem. Yet, they have failed to acknowledge any blame or address what they are doing to mediate the problem. I will update.

It is only for regular use and some light work. Perfect for me

Good not great
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5Loved the screen, Loved the form factor. The keyboard was good. The touch pad was large. Which is great when using the touch pad, not so great when typing. There needs to be some sort of palm rejection. Every time I bumped the touch pad, I would end up typing in a new field etc. If I had kept the Surface Laptop, I may have gotten used to this. What I couldn't get used to was how slow it was. The AMD Ryzen 5 is just too slow for 8 gigs to be enough. Returned it. If you don't need speed and have longer fingers? You may enjoy this. Get the i7 rig with 16 gig

Lots of Good
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This laptop is lightning fast, easy to use, has sleek styling, a comfortable keyboard and pad. It's an all around great product so far. The drawback for me is that the charging cord does'nt lock into place and it slips out very easily. I tape mine to keep it connected during low battery times. It's not the most atractive solution but it is an easy workaround.

Words Great!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I love this laptop quite a bit. But I do have a few issues with it. First and foremost my Microsoft Arc Mouse constantly disconnects from it and I have to wait for it to pair again. I'm not sure if its the mouse or the Bluetooth in this computer but I will say, I have used the mouse with other devices and it doesn't seem to do it. Second is the amount your can render on this. I'm a graphic designer and I do a lot of things in and out of my office. I use this "on the road" and a custom build at my office. This functions fine but it does do some graphic tearing while trying to design. Other than that this machine is flawless and for the average user I would highly recommend it.

No Complaints except for IE
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Bought for WFH. My Lenovo Yoga was handed down to the kid for their quarantine learning. The Geek Squad dude said this was good. “I have this”. If it’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for me! Knock on wood. It’s still working. I connect to work via Citrix. I have many tabs open. I like to think I multitask well and I have a machine that can handle the IT person’s nightmare off too many windows open. Quality of the screen is great. I can see the lines on the excel sheets. My only gripe is that I needed to buy the digital connector to allow extra ports. And IE. Do the kids still call it IE? Not a fan of internet explorer. I know it’s a Microsoft machine.

Posted .Hello,
We're glad that you're enjoying your new Surface Laptop 3 for the most part. Just to clarify, Internet Explorer has been retired, so we hope you enjoy using Microsoft Edge as your browser of choice. If, however, you would prefer to use a different browser, several options are available.
Cheers,
