You can flip the display around and use it in media mode easily enough, but then again, the same can be said for other 2-in-1s. You won’t find it easy to use the Surface Book 3 on an airliner’s tray table, for example, especially given how the display is set further back than those on most other models like the thickness, this is due to the fulcrum hinge that’s designed to balance the heavier-than-usual display. The Surface Book 3 also weighs 3.62 pounds compared to the HP at 2.88 pounds and the Dell at 2.65 pounds. The Spectre x360 13 is 0.67 inches, and the XPS 13 is 0.58 inches, and they both feel quite a bit thinner.

You won’t find it easy to use on an airliner’s tray table.Īs a 13-inch class laptop, it competes with the incredibly svelte HP Spectre x360 13 and the Dell XPS 13, both of which are noticeably smaller (more than 1.5 inches less deep, for example). While other laptops are squeezing into tiny frames thanks to minuscule bezels, the Surface Book 3 feels like a throwback to when machines were thick and chunky. Its display bezels are relatively huge, and the same can be said about the bulky chassis. The Surface line, in general, is well made, and the Surface Book 3 offers perhaps the most impressive build quality of them all.Īt the same time, the Surface Book 3 feels a bit ancient.
There’s not a creak, bend, or groan from the laptop, no matter how you handle it, in the lid, the keyboard deck, or the chassis bottom. Pushing a button and tearing off the display is just as satisfyingly geeky as always - no other 2-in-1 is quite so cool.Īnd the build quality is excellent, rivaling the MacBook line for sheer elegance and solidity.
On the one hand, it remains the most futuristic laptop on the market today, despite a design that’s identical to the Surface Book 2 released in late 2017. The Surface Book 3 is a bit of a contradiction.
