Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 Intel Core i5 10th Gen 13.5" (34.29 cms) Touchscreen Laptop (8GB/128GB SSD/Windows 10 Home/Integrated Graphics/Platinum/1.265kg, 25% Off on 365), VGY-00021

I currently have a Macbook Pro, and Surface Pro 7 and a Surface Go. Macbook Pro is used for all professional work, Surface Pro 7 is mainly used when I am travelling due to its weight and form factor, and Surface Go lies in my car and I use it for random surfing and checking mails /office communication when I go to cafes or restaurants.I was looking for a new laptop for personal use at home, specially when lying in bed or sitting on the couch. Surface Pros screen is a bit small for long usage and is best used when sitting on a table. I did a lot of research and shortlisted Macbook Air, Thinpad X390 and a few other laptops from Dell, HP and Lenovo. But eventually decided to go for Surface laptop 3 and have not been disappointed.Pros:Premium look and feel. Looks different and the platinum shade is very good, specially in bright environments.Very light weight, compact and easy to carry.Very bright sceen and good resolution. Touch functionality is plus.Very good typing experience.Solid built quality.Great performance, the 10th gen i5 shines.Good battery life.Competitive price.Taller screen due to its aspect ratio makes it much more usable for productivity aspects.Cons:Slight flex in keyboard because of Alcantara material, but does not hamper the typing experience.You get only around 70 GB of usable space when all installation is done. This is ok if you only use the laptop for surfing , using MS Office , or watching videos. Not suitable for professional use.The screen is very reflective and may need some adjustments in view angle in outside environments or under certain lighting conditions.All and all this is one of the best premium laptops out there and very good option to consider. Those who say its expensive dont know what they are talking about to be honest, In all the brands that I looked for ultra portable laptops including Apple, Dell, Lenovo Thinkpad etc. all configs which had Core i5 10th gen were costing 1L plus.This is surely one of the best Windows laptop at this price point.

Good Product

Every thing fine but gaming processing is not much rest it's ok ...best laptop I find it awsm ....love it

Use this laptop as an all-purpose machine. Handles my music production, document-work, and light gaming (think Valorent/CS Go) with ease.Port selection is limited, so you might need a dongle to extend your connectivity.Battery life is decent, though competing laptops like the XPS do offer more. Touch is fantastic.Keyboard typing experience and the glass trackpad are a pleasure to use.Overall - Recommend.

The battery isn't at all as advertised. I lose battery in a few hours of usage so from a business laptop standpoint this was a terrible buy. A lot of surface users are facing this problem.I'm also facing issues where my screen begins to flicker when there's a zoom call with screen share and my screen completely blacks out. I've tried to do everything to prevent it but it's very unreliable.The i5 processor + 8gb ram heats up even with a few chrome tabs, slack and zoom and the system starts to lag.The ONLY good thing about this is the webcam which is better than most laptops, including Apple.I moved to Windows from Apple hoping this device would be the answer but I'm going to go back.

This is so far the best looking and the fastest laptop I have ever used. Excellent battery life, fast charging and very very smooth touch.If you have the budget, do not think twice, buy it. It will make you fall in love with computers again.

I'd give 3.5 stars as Apple has a better alternative now (M1)An average laptop with premium looks, at ultra-premium price. Just Microsoft thingsPros: 1. A good laptop for college students for its easy portability.2. Microsoft has done well with the built quality as it is sturdy and good looking.3. Very fast charging4. No heating issues with excessive browsing, zoom meetings, if used while not charging the laptop5. Good battery backup, could easily get 5-6 hrs for a normal college student(non-gamer)6. Instant-on is very handy7. Face- recognition is good but not 100% accurate, need good amount of light8. Screen produces almost accurate colours, easy on eye.9. Windows 11 compatibleCons: 1. NO Microsoft office included, which is unacceptable.2. Sometimes, screen flickers and colours become highly saturated, but with a quick restart everything becomes Fine. This happened in the first few months but now it's fine. May be some software issue.3. The keyboard being alacantara finish doesn't give you good feel while typing, although silent, keys are very soft which may not have long life.4. Windows has inbuilt inconsistencies and other problems, sadly, which really takes off the premium feel.5. Screen is highly reflective but in artificial lighting it's fineVerdict: Expensive option considering M1 MacBook Air with much better specs, at similar price. Can only consider if one badly needs versatility of windows. For students, it's a great laptop.

Well this is my first ever laptop, I bought it on Aug 27 and so far it's been a great experience.Most loved feature is the charging speed and the battery backup.Also the performance is excellent.
