Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 – 13.5 Touch-Screen – Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory – 1TB Solid State Drive – Matte Black

Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 – 13.5 Touch-Screen – Intel Core i7 – 16GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive (Latest Model) – Sandstone is an excellent choice if you are looking for a lightweight and powerful laptop. I love the large track pad and the easy use of the keyboard. The screen quality is outstanding. The stereo speakers have an excellent sound (in my opinion much better than my MacBook). The i7 Processor allows for quick response time.

This laptop is amazing. Lots of power in a very small form. I got the i7, 13.5, 16gb ram with the 256gb drive. Bootup is very fast due to the use of the SSD drive. These drives do not have any moving parts and are essentially just a large high speed stick of memory which allows them to really speed up any PC. This laptop will handle just about anything you can throw at it. Nice and light and feels good to the touch. Cant get over how thin it is. If you need a small form factor laptop that has a lot of power than this is the laptop for you.

Great laptop

I purchased this machine because I recently purchased several Native Instruments plugins for use with my application copy of Fruity Loops. My old computer was struggling to even eek out a full measure without crackling or stuttering, so it was time.

PROS:

Business

I have had this computer for about a year, using it all day every work day. In general, its technical performance has been very good (better I would say than the many MacBook Airs I owned before). It handles many large applications and browser windows being open at once.

It died dead on me in One year and 15 days

So far this Microsoft Surface laptop 3 has been a workhorse of a machine. The build quality is nice and it is a minimalist, yet elegant design. Battery life has been pretty good but I’m not quite sure I’m getting the 11.5 hrs or so. It might be closer to 6-7 with light productivity use for school/work. Overall, I’m satisfied and the seller appears very reputable by selling actual new products (emonkey).

This review is focused on the hardware only, it’s not about Windows 10.
