Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Having a terrible experience with this computer. After 2 weeks I was carrying it and it just cracked (due to the hinge if you grab it from the front the screen will crack). 6 month’s later the battery just stopped working. Wish I had gotten an apple instead. Best Buy will not back up the product and neither will Microsoft. Just left out in the cold.

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".

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.

I upgraded from a Surface Pro 3 to the Surface Book 3, and well, so far I haven’t felt much difference. Also, the UAG Case and the screen protectors available for this model are underwhelming to say the least, with more drawbacks than even the ones made for the decade old Surface Pro 3. I have had a decent experience but I’m not at the point where I’d recommend you to make the same upgrade.

Tired of being tied down to my desk top to do invoices and accounting through the desktop version of my accounting software, I decided to buy the Surface Book to allow me the versatility of working where I want. My Wife owns one and i liked its features enough to purchase my own. Touchscreen capable and disconnecting to use as a tablet are awesome. Battery life seems very good. I now operate in a cloud based software and love the ability to be mobile. Great solid manufacture.

This is the second time I’ve bought this laptop, first one was the first time they released the surface book. I love this laptop very much. It’s portable, I got a case that makes me a lot less worried to take it with me on the go, and of course the whole screen thing is great. It over performs most laptops I’ve used, and all laptops with the capabilities it has. The only issue I’m having is my touchscreen keeps just not working randomly. I’ve talked multiple times with Microsoft, it’s been happening since the day I got it, and Microsoft said an update would fix it but I keep having to call them back. Not great but the customer service is. It is annoying the pen comes separate and now I bought a $140 pen for the touch screen to not want to work.

The Surface Book 3 is just the right size for traveling when I don't want to take my larger laptop. It also allows syncing with my Galaxy S20 Ultra, so I can see everything on a bigger screen. I am glad I got the hard-sided one for sure especially for its durability. I may have picked a larger memory had I thought about it more, but the cloud where my pictures and documents are stored seems to take the load for now

Love the computer. Great size and easy to use. Shout out to the sales associate at the Blaine, MN location. He was so very knowledgeable and patient in answering all my questions as I was comparing different options.

In staying with the Microsoft family, I passed from a Surface Pro to the Book (with some generous assistance from the Geek Squad in Harrisonburg, VA. Saul is the best.). There is no reason to go back. This machine is more powerful, faster, more responsive and sturdier than the Pro. Well done Microsoft.

Leaving my 5+ year old laptop behind I am transitioning to the Surface Book 3. So far, I am pleasantly surprised. It runs Windows 10 and all my apps well and with the USB-C to HDMI adapter I can run on multiple displays without a hitch. This is truly a wonderful change from my laptop.

I am beyond thrilled with this new device. I had a Surface Pro 3 which was just fine, but I longed for something more. This filled the order with ease! I looked into the Surface laptop and was impressed, but this is like having the best of both worlds. The two battery thing is pretty sweet. Really like it for drawing. Love that the screen pops off easily and stays put when you want it connected to it's mate/keyboard. Very nice machine- yes it's pricey, but well worth it.

The Surface Book 3 a wonderful laptop Unique detachable design Powerful graphics processor Many configuration options Comfortable keyboard Dual 1080p cameras Beautiful PixelSense display

We bought this for our daughter when her other laptop (not a Surface) started deleting her work in the middle of writing her term papers. (Not good for a college student) With finals right around the corner, she was scared her other would not make it. She loves the detachable tablet mode and uses the stylus to "write" her papers super fast and easy! Love it!!

I really enjoy my new laptop with all the features. Since I utilize it work work it has been a great help to me!

Love this computer! Works great and has everything i need on it to do school and business work.

I love this form factor. I love the battery life. I love the screen. I love the speed. I love the magnetic charging adapter. I don't love the price. I don't love that it still doesn't have Thunderbolt 3.

It's not as good as the 1st one in my opinion. Had to take it in because it would just restart itself but overall after that no issues

Power housebof a machine. Love the fluidness of apps and pen usage. Really great size and power. Detachable screen makes it awesome.

My daughter is in medical school and lover this laptop. The feature which allows her to take notes on the screen during a lecture is what she likes best.
