Microsoft - Surface Laptop 3 - 15" Touch-Screen - AMD Ryzen™ 5 Surface Edition - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD

Pros- design, lightweight for its size, speakers decent, screen was clear Cons- system kept on shutting off!! Erased everything each time it shut off. Turn laptop On-off 3-4 tries but always ended up turning off.

Please 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.

Was looking forward a laptop, because I live in a studio apartment and the desktop was too big. Was looking for a windows laptop because I don’t deal with Apple Mac. They computer is really beautiful, love the Face ID to unlock it, love night move, and lop the key pad very smooth. It is only for regular use and some light work. Perfect for me

I bought this laptop with a few things in mind: 1) to browse the internet, 2) to do some word processing, 3) to do some light gaming. As far as browsing the internet and word processing goes, it’s absolutely fine. It runs nice and smooth, quiet, and it has no problems launching the standard programs. What makes it even better is the screen is rather gorgeous and the keyboard feels wonderful to type on. All good and expected things. However, as soon as you try to stress the machine with some light gaming (in my case, Minecraft or World of Warcraft), the system can barely function. The fan starts going 100 mph, the machine throttles so easily, and the system heats up to an unimaginable level. It’s honestly kind of inexcusable for a laptop that costs $1100+, especially when you can just buy a far superior MacBook for $1000. So I can’t really recommend this product, unless you’re just really into the Surface brand and only want a Windows laptop for surfing the web and doing some office work. But even then, surely there are cheaper and better laptops out there you can get? Or maybe spend a bit more and just get a Surface Book instead - at least there’s a bit more value to the product there.

This is definitely a great computer. It boots up fast and has a decent battery life. I do think the price was high but I was able to purchase an open box for $400 less. If you can afford the regular price I would say go for it. Overall, the color, screen size and speed was what I was looking for. Great buy.

Bought this laptop after deciding to switch over from Mac, which is the only type of laptop I’ve ever owned, and I cannot say enough good things about this laptop. The design is very slim and sleek and looks very professional. The touchscreen is an additional bonus and the clarity and color of the screen is unbelievable. Software speed is significantly better than Macs and so is battery life. So happy with my purchase!

I bought this on sale and for the $1000 price point its really great. I feel like the normal price is a little steep for what it is. Other than MacBooks, I think Surface Laptops are among the best overall laptop experience unless you're doing something specific like CAD, gaming, etc. These are light to medium duty in terms of speed, but very well built and worked out and I would say among the top for quality. Love the screen size and design, port selection. Speed on the Ryzen isn't quite as good as my 13" Surface Laptop 3 model with intel. But that's not enough of a difference to matter to most people... I'm basically saying this: Buy 15" for the size, do NOT expect a performance boost, if anything it is a slight performance penalty. I think most people will prefer the 13" for value but the 15" is a great option for people who simply need or want a larger screen.

I haven't had the laptop very long, maybe a month and it's been ok. Maybe I still need to get use to it, but I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be. Pros- lightweight, has syncing abilities across devices, screen is nice and large, keys are nice to the touch and like the touch screen option Cons- has already frozen on a black screen after being left on sleep for an hour and had to be rebooted, haven't been able to open my backup hard drive on this device, issues connecting and using my printer
