Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 – 13.5 Touch-Screen – Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB Solid State Drive (Latest Model) – Platinum with Alcantara

This laptop is meant for surfing the internet and that’s it. It doesn’t have any processing power to do anything else really. You can’t run programs like Adobe premiere pro, any games or process photo/video editing. I bought it for $1000 in 2020. Waste of money.

The screen came cracked but it was the last one, so I kept it. Really wish I didn’t

Only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the issue with the screen fading in and out as others mentioned. Otherwise, its been great. Was not keen on the felt initially, but it seems to be wearing okay and has grown on me.

I purchased this device according to its description in the title. I was under the impression I was buying a new laptop and received a used one. Any other description listing states if it is new or used and this did not.

When the Microsoft Surface Laptop works, it’s a great device. However, I have had hardware issues since I first bought the computer over a year ago. The laptop will regularly fail to recognize any available internet connections, and I have to keep restarting it over and over until it does so. Sometimes I have to restart it upwards of 7 times in a row just to get onto the internet. It’s incredibly frustrating, and I wish I had bought the warranty because of it. I foolishly trusted Microsoft and figured I wouldn’t need the warranty on the Surface.

I really enjoy the laptop overall but I had purchased a new one so I could have 2 USB ports. The specs on the Amazon page says that it has 2 USB ports. It only has one. I contacted the seller and have given them ample time to correct the page. It still says 2 ports. Hmm! Ill change my rating if they correct their mistake.

Everything about it is wonderful, easy set up, easy to use.

the alcantara keyboard surface is garbage

If you are trying to make the difficult decision between the new Microsoft Surface 3 or the Macbook Pro, you have come to the right place. As a college student who plans on going into finance, I recently had to make the same decision for freshman year, I purchased the Microsoft Surface three. Now, let it be known that I have had an Apple MacBook Pro for the past three years. I love my mac, and always will. It is aesthetically pleasing, simple, uncluttered, has a fingerprint reader, the new touch bar, and seamlessly integrates with my other Apple products (iPhone, AirPods, apple watch, etc.). However, for college students, I have found that the pros of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 outweigh those of the Apple Macbook Pro. Both laptops are very portable; however, the Surface is a tad more, weighing in at 2.83 pounds and dimensions of 0.7 by 11.9 by 7.5 inches, compared to the Macbook Pros 3.1 pounds and dimensions of 0.61 by 12 by 8.4 inches. The Macbooks retina display beat out that of the Surface, coming in at 2,560 by 1,600 pixels vs. the 2,256 by 1,504 pixels that the Surface offers.

It is quite clear that is laptop is not a budget laptop. There are features here that are worth your money, and some that you can find done much better in other laptops for cheaper. The laptop I got had no issues upon arrival.
