The 13.5-inch model comes in more of a variety. As usual, it comes in aluminum, but that doesn't mean it's the same. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that anymore, as all Surface products have a USB Type-C port. I can't tell you that you should purchase something if I know that there's something better available for the same price. I have to look at things with a perspective of knowing what else is on the market. Sure, the Surface Laptop 2 was fine, but how could I possibly recommend spending over a thousand dollars on a PC when you can get one with more modern technology?Īs a reviewer, it's an issue. The big problem was always the lack of USB Type-C ports. And when Microsoft announced this generation of Surface products, I wasn't shy about saying that I think this is the first generation of actually good Surface PCs. I've never tried to hide the fact that I didn't like Surface PCs. The Laptop 3 15 comes with custom AMD Ryzen Surface Edition chips, although both the 13.5-inch model and the Surface Laptop 3 15 for Business use Intel Ice Lake. The other thing that’s quite significant is that Microsoft diversified the chip vendors for this lineup of Surface products. Moreover, there’s no Alcantara fabric coating on the keyboard deck with the 15-inch model, although it’s an option for the 13.5-inch one. As has always been the case, the Surface Laptop 3 is made out of aluminum, a heavier but more premium-feeling material than the more traditional magnesium that we see in Surfaces. The big deal is that there’s now a 15-inch model, and that’s the one that I’m reviewing. But I’ve seen how the weight has been redistributed, and while the chassis mostly looks the same, it’s been reengineered. I haven’t reviewed the 13.5-inch model, as much as I’d like to. Just look at the Surface Pro 3, which was bigger and thinner than its predecessors. As with any Surface product, we know that the third-generation is sort of the defining generation, where a product has reached maturity.
Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop 3 is a big leap from its predecessors, while the second-generation was a mere spec bump.
