Customer Ratings & Reviews

I always thought the Surface units from Microsoft were overpriced and underperforming, but after buying a couple of USED Surface Pro 3 units from an auction site, my mind was changed and I am now a fan. I purchased this Surface Laptop 3 15" notebook as an 'open box' unit to save a few bucks. I came in a few days and was in great condition (even had the original box and packaging). It starts quickly, boots fast, and after a few Windows 10 setup steps, it is ready to enjoy. The keyboard is backlit and feels great, as does the over-sized touchpad. The screen is the best I have ever seen or used, bright & clear from ALL angles. The wifi and bluetooth connect quickly and stay connected, and it runs all of my software like a champ. Don't let the 8GB of ram fool you, this guys runs FAST and these new M.2 2230 small drives are very fast. The build quality is the best I have ever owned, and the battery is long-lasting, and charges up fast. The case is elegant and has a solid feel in your hands. The small SSD hard drive can be upgraded, but good luck finding a M.2 2230 drive sold commercially. Not yet, but when I can find one, I will probably buy it. But I can get all of my stuff on the 128GB just fine and room to spare. Overall, I am thrilled with my new computer and am happy to recommend it to anyone wanting a great machine at a fair price. BTY, the AMD processor and GPU work very well and are fast. I like the new Ryzen products. Get one and be happy for Thanksgiving & Chrismas.

This was a great choice, not because of the fact that I got it open-box at store closing in Fort Myers for half the price, but because I feel this can perfectly compare to a MacBook levels without all the restrictions that come with it. Screen is great, excellent sound, I got it for Illustrator and Photoshop, it works good enough as long as I'm not exaggerating on open apps.

I really like Surface laptops. I have owned them since Surface Laptop 1. love how light and thin they are. When I Saw the 15 inch version I fell in love with the larger screen. I grabbed one with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD. This is the AMD version. I am a computer engineer so I know exactly what I am talking about. I was very disappointed with the performance of this laptop. I ran a benchmark software and my older Surface Laptop 2 scored much higher than this AMD version. Also, I can never get Youtube to play 4k video without dropping frames. The Intel version doesn't have this issue. One big bummer and although this is advertised as 8 GB of RAM, it is essentially 6 GB . 2 GB are dedicated to the GPU. to me this is kinda misleading. Form factor, display quality, microphone, camera, keyboard, and touchpad are all top notch. If I can't figure out the stutteting during 4k video playback, I am going to return it and get the Intel version.

We bought this as it was the most user friendly. For the price, it had less storage and RAM than another we were considering we were considering, but ease of use was our primary consideration and it is an excellent system.

Not a bad laptop, definitely a mid range laptop at best. In my 3 weeks of using it I've only noticed one odd thing about it, sometimes if you have alot of tabs open and you try loading something it will disconnect you from the internet can only assume it's just because of maxing out the ram capacity as it's only 8gb. Definitely not a bad laptop for the price I enjoy it. Overall quality [7/10] Overall performance [8/10] (for buisness use) Verdict: I would recommend it for a basic buisness and college laptop

The design and feel of the laptop is great. But I can't understand why it needs to reserve 2GB for video RAM. With the base model of 8 GB, only 6 GB is available for use by the OS, drivers and Apps. It's crazy. Phones nowadays have that much RAM. There should be at least a BIOS option to decrease the reserved RAM if the user doesn't need it (eg. not playing games).

The 8 GB RAM AMD surface laptop 3 has 2 GB RAM allocated as video memory so you will only have 6 GB of actual RAM for your use. With regular use you will constantly run with around 50% of RAM usage. Please do not buy any AMD laptops for this reason alone. I didn't see this problem until my return period was over or else i would have returned it.
