While not actual software, I can't let the opportunity go by and not complain about Explorer Edge. This made the difference between working on the Surface 3 and my Macbook about the same.

While this could be a negative for those who really use these applications, even on Mac I use the Google's online suite rather than installed options like Pages and Numbers. However, none of this is necessary with my MacBook as it comes pre-installed.

I was given a year-long trial of the Office 360 suite, which made downloading all the necessary extras like Word and Outlook easy. This was especially a test for the processor designed in collaboration with AMD and it passed with flying colours.Īlthough not my favourite design, the fast charging easily makes up for the dedicated charger input as I put it on charge and could start moving around freely in an impressively short amount of time. Since battery life is the big contender when it comes to laptop, finding the balance between power and longevity is always key for companies, and Microsoft found it. To say I put my computer to work is an understatement. This is impressive since my MacBook struggles to last while running my millions of open tabs and background apps. I managed around one and a half days work on it before I had to charge it up. The battery life is really the big showstopper on the Surface Laptop 3. The trackpad is beautiful and smooth but requires quite a heavy push to get it to respond, at least my comparison to the extremely sensitive Macbook trackpad. It was nice to have a little bit of spring back in my keys.

The keyboard and trackpad are beautiful, with the keyboard specifically being an ice improvement on the ordeal that is the Macbook Pro flat keyboard. The charger design was also frustrating as it is a dedicated socket and so can only be plugged in one side. This makes plugging in multiple extensions and charger a breeze.īy comparison, the Surface 3 is definitely valued for having both a USB-A and USB-C port but only one of each would becoming frustrating over a longer period of time. While my 13-inch MacBook drives me crazy with only two USB-C ports, the 15-inch version has more than enough to go around on either side. Some downsides however include the very few ports, single charging side and heavy trackpad clicks.

The touch display is also a great addition, though likely to be under-utilised by someone like me who finds a trackpad perfectly fine. The display is sharp and makes it possible to do just about anything with the laptop, from writing to drawing to watching Netflix in bed.

The 3:2 aspect ratio gives you more screen that you can even handle (which does make it seem like the all the patrons around you can see what you're doing). I could easily tuck it under my arm or slip it into my handbag to take out to a coffee shop for some enviable stares and earnest writing. In addition to looking good, it also is quite light for a 15-inch laptop, weighing in at under 2kg.

A particular win for me was that it comes in black, my all time favourite colour especially for tech. The Surface Laptop 3 definitely rivals the MacBook in design. Sitting in a coffee shop with your MacBook Pro became a stereotype and status symbol for a reason. MacBooks are known for being the prettiest laptops on the market and were designed that way intentionally.

Since I'm not an Android user and couldn't use the Your Phone feature to sync to the laptop I did miss the phone/laptop connections that you get with all the Apple integration, nothing felt like it was out of reach and I had access to all the basic necessities when it came to getting my work done. This means when you open it, it picks this up quickly and opens without you having to do a thing.Īfter a short set-up process it felt like it was entirely my laptop. This nifty addition uses an infrared camera next to the webcam to identify when you're looking at your computer. The Surface 3 uses Windows Hello facial recognition. The laptop starts up immediately when you open it and setting up my Google account and logins was very simple. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get started.
