At 8:30 the screenshot of the 15 inch models got deleted for some reason sorry trying my best😭😅
Unforgivable! :P That made the entire video pointless Sara! >:(
You saying “your only worry with this laptop is a normal getting and not even knowing what task manager is.” Made up for not having that graphic
Paul Earnest “a normal” 😂😂😂
Perfect summary of the Surface Book 3. Keep up the peachy work Sara.
It is not as problem your content still shines during quarantine
I have been using my Surface Book 2 (15-inch) for almost three years now and I could not imagine going back to a regular laptop. The pen, the touch screen and the tablet mode are capabilities that I just cannot live without. I am a high school physics teacher and not a day goes by that I don't pull off the screen in class, grab the pen, and show the students how to solve physics problems on the big screen. But when class is over, I love how the Surface Book gives me all the power I need to prepare new lessons and do other administrative work that makes the Surface Book like a desktop. Seriously, I will never accept the "advantage" of purchasing a laptop without the capabilities of the Surface Book again.
I don't have SB2 and I love it too
SB1 PB Ed here. Still doing great, Still lovin' it. Would love to get the 3 as soon as I get a chance.
SB2 here too. Its been a great piece of kit. I draw on it in illustrator, photoshop which is a breeze. I rarely get the gpu disconnect issue. happens sometimes though. ;) def want the spec bump of the sb3! :D
@Curtis Quick can i make the student solve on the tablet mode , while his work displays on the class projector ?
@@othmanshaker Yes, the Surface Book supports wireless video output when in tablet mode. I use it that way all the time when teaching class. In this mode, sometimes I give the tablet to students for them to write solutions with the stylus on the screen while projecting to the big classroom screen.

SARA, as a trick by having my Surface Book for 4 years already, you do not need to detach and re-attach the display, just open the Device Manager and hit the "Scan for Hardware Changes" and it will automatically recognize the dGPU. It is a lot faster than doing the party trick.
Also, I don't know if this happened to everybody, but my Surface Book (2016) had an Nvidia update and now there is a GPU activity icon in my notification bar next to the Surface detach icon. I can now quickly glance at it to see if the dGPU is being used and by what program (it will light up colors, instead of the idle grayscale). If this is a general update for every Surface Book, or every device with an NVidia GPU, then it might be useful.
surface book 4?
I got the same icon with my surface book 1 performance base (nvigia gpu in the base) during a driver update.
THANK YOU - this helped me a lot
@@NettraPan it should work.
I'm actually happy that most people are experiencing this issue with the gpu not being detected. I've had this problem on 7 surface book 2 15" models. I've complained about this on the forums, to reps, advisors and they said they'll look into it. The moment I sold my last SB2 model to get myself something else, I found out that Microsoft fixed this issue on the SB2. Now I'm hearing this problem is now occuring in the SB3 models. There are a variety of ways to fix this.
1.) Restart the computer.
2.) Detach and reattach the screen unit.
3.) Go into device manager and scan for new hardware changes.
Small tip when removing the screen: take it out up sideways. Not shake it front and back. :)
Exactly...
Agree. That made me cringe!
My God, the cringe is real..
Huuuurrts 😭
LMAO yes, she acts like such a dramatic rookie out there
That computer is a beast, but you should try the 13'5, it can handle a gtx 1650, which is something unusual for a small footprint like it. I just bought it, it could be the PERFECT machine for engineer students, take notes with the pen and then run heavy simulation/3d cad program, everything in the same device!
Proprio il motivo per cui sto facendo un pensiero anch'io 😱😂
Hello Massimo does the tablet have a cooling fan? The 2-version had no fan which was great. I cannot stand fans when its all quiet around me.
@@VelvetBulldozer Today mine SB 3 13'5 inch finally shipped, and as long as I can say in the tablet portion (where there is the CPU) there's no fan, but there is a fan in the base for the GPU. That fan started running only when I was doing some gaming or 3D modeling and it was pretty quiet. So if you are concerned about those vents you can barely hear them!
@@massimobaldrighi Thanks. Do you have the I7 or I5 version. Maybe the I7 has a fan?
@@VelvetBulldozer I have the i7 version.
The very limited tilt back of this laptop holds me back from getting one. My experience with SB 2 15" was great except for this matter. My neck got cramp when I was working for longer hour on this laptop. The best thing about this laptop for me is the keyboard never got hot, the tablet gets hot, not the keyboard, so rest your hands typing as long as you want.
So funny I've watched John forever, but I love tech so I'm always researching and your always popping up. Good to see you guys still staying strong!
2:35 I almost jumped out of my seat to catch it lol
Sara pronouncing "fuhgettaboutit" is the energy I need this morning.
i got the maxed-out version . its amazing!
Had the SB2, got the SB3 and I am very pleased. It has its issues but their isn't anything like it. I agree, it is the most powerful 2 in 1, if you compared it to Lenovo's Thinkpad Yoga X1 gen 5, you would be saying that the SB3 is a far cheaper more powerful alternative. Great work, love your channel!!
It was nice to see you detach and reattach the Surface Book 3 without placing it on a table. No one else has shown how easy it is to do it.
2:37 hahahaha john in the background 😂😂😂
Hey Sara. You are awesome. It is great seeing you explain about electronics. I don't know too much about computers but I am good with other electronics.
Your review is the best one I found in youtube. Thanks for it. It wasreally helpful to decide if should I go for Surface pro, Book or laptop. Thank you very much. Kee the great job!
Dude, I love your review style. Thanks, great video!
Thank you for the review! I`ve bought Book 3 and really happy with the choice!
I have just started learning computer programming this month. During the first week of coding I used my 2019 13 inch macbook pro, and I had always trouble using the keyboard. I was not comfortable, so I decided to use my old surface book which I bought in 2017. I have discovered that I have performed well with my surface book. Keyboard is good and the screen display is great. Now I am planning to buy a 15 inch surface book 3 or to wait for surface book 4, but I do not know when it will be available in the market.
Super helpful! 🤩🙏
Thanks for sharing some troubleshooting techniques and not just word vomiting 🤮 what we can find on the Microsoft website on our own😊👍
3:27 you dont have to shake it lake that to unconnect it. Just pull it out when it says you can.
Review is fantastic and really helps me look for one for my kid
I love your channel, thank you for doing this!
Absolutely best review I've seen on this thing! Thank you! you are the best reviewer!
I’m going to purchase one for myself and one for my wife she absolutely loves this laptop so do I.
just saw your first video. i like you already. got my subscription. :)
This channel could be about different ways of boiling couliflower and I'd still watch Sara🥰
@David Mander I could watch her videos on mute, but I also love her voice 😍😍😍
Hey, I had a surface book, i have this vague recollection you could right click and chose Open with Graphics card, instead of just open..
May I have the permission to buy this SB3?
Sara: yes.
being a programmer and a skater it’s super cool to see john in the background of the vids 🤣
Love your video!! Quick question for a student would you recommend sb3 over the xps 15?
Could you please review the Acer ConceptD 7 and compare its drawing experience to Surface Book 3, Dell XPS 2-in-1, and HP Spectre?
I’ve been a Mac user for years but am thinking
about switching to Windows. I am a photographer so I am constantly using Photoshop and Lightroom and occasionally Illustrator and I also use Premiere a lot. What laptop do you recommend? I am thinking about a Dell XPS.
The fact that you have a Koromon plushie makes me like you and your channel even more
Nice review Sara! Question for you - How did you get the Surface Pen to stick on the right side? My S3 doesn't, only the left side. Thanks!
Nice and honest review. I have my surface book 3 2,5 year now. very heavy used. Hesitating to wait for no 4 or switching to a surface laptop. As much as I have loved my surface book, the one reason not getting a second one is the fact how little it bends backwards. I of course noticed this on day one and I think if I knew I might not even have bought it. It's a real bummer for such a beautiful laptop. Now working from home (during corona) trying to vary between sitting and standing, it's just awful. For the rest the surface book is my best laptop ever. I hope they will fix this problem for the next gen.
Thank you! I'm a budding digital marketer / student and this was definitely my favourite keyboard and feel, but I could not stomach that price tag. Now I know I won't get it. 💜
Product is Very light + thin & Nice presentation
Love your work keep it up and ur hair is stunning
Sara, can you do a comparison video on the Dell XPS 13, 15, and 17? Just a suggestion though :) I love your videos so much!
that'd be awesome!
+1
Finally a video which can free my boredom!
I don't understand how the bezels are big considering it doubles as a tablet. Do you want to be able to hold it and not accidentally trigger a touchscreen response? Function over form.
A couple things you left out that I think are important, the 15” can get a quaddro meaning if you need the touch screen and that then the surface book is you’re only option, also even if you don’t agree, addressing the reason Microsoft didn’t put in thunderbolt should still be mentioned as being because of security reasons.
just watched thru 1:16 and saw you trying to open an app expecting high performance on battery mode ? try again with either the laptop plugged in OR make sure it's on high performance settings first. THEN compare.
HEY Sara thanks for you’re awesome review. I need to know if i can use surface book 3 to stream with streamlabs obs. THANKS!
Thanks for the review Sara. Judging from this it looks like nothing has changed since my time with the Surface Book 2, and I think you summed it up perfectly. The Surface Book series tries to do so many things, that it doesn't do any one thing particularly well. Don't get me wrong, the hardware design is fantastic, and I wanted it to be great (I didn't fork out $3600+ AUD to be disappointed). But there just has not been enough effort made to make the hardware and software come together. In all honesty I think the tablet mode is used mostly by productivity people and Office365 power users, who I think would be better served by a more affordable Surface Laptop with a display that could fold around to make a tablet, like all of the other 2-in-1 devices. The tablet mode in this form factor compromises the whole experience and limits the usefulness of the discreet graphics chip, not to mention the compromised 15w processor required to make it work as both a notebook and a tablet. I can see the promise in Microsoft's computer line, but at this point the Surface Book still seems like more of a working concept rather than a finished product.
What a great video, I've seen plenty of reviews of surface products and they're always so boring and are usually just a script of the specs.
This video was great though, way better use cases and specific scenarios for usability, good examples of software performance and also great warnings and tips on the quirks of the laptop, it's like you actually... Used the laptop. Solid video
Which setup do you think would be better? Surface book 3? or Dedicated high performance laptop (for 3d modeling and rendering) with Galaxy tab S6 Lite (for sketches)
😁👌 Thanks Sara, for your review. Nice!
1. what is, in your opinion, the best laptop (or 2in1) for graphic design, artistic paintings etc. with a very good dedicated graphic card and a powerful processor. 2. what model(s) of microsoft surface pen are the best for microsoft surface book 3?
When are you going to do a review how the new HP x360 spectra OLED ?
me, watching this a few hours after ordering it: 👁👄👁
how is it
Hi Sarah ,thanks a bunch
Can you tell me the name of this and how can I get it?
Surface Book 3 is like Sara's reviews - She isn't the most techy person, but for some reason you get attracted by her charms so you end up watching her full review then realizing it's actually good and different from other reviews :)
Keep up the good work!
🤣👍🏻
Yea she’s the definition is smart = attractive. Like I came for the review but I stayed for cute quirky charming girl ;)
Please...where are the benchmarks? All fluff, no facts.
5:30 a "normal" getting it 😂 love it
Please make a video on your experience and use of Notion
i use hp envy 13 2020 i love it no need to spend so much on just a laptop
Can i unlock the Tablet part while i´m working on Ligthroom, InDesign, Premiere Pro?
The 2. Generation had a problem with that and i must close the Software bevor i can undock the Tablet part!
“A normal getting it” lmfao
So nice to just watch her talking 😍
Oh boy Sara is really high energy. I can't help but think this every time I see one of your videos. Kind of contagious, makes me wanna get high energy as well 😃
Sara’s the only one who even makes the sponsored message interesting to watch.
Mango street has funny ads too.
I have the Apple iPad Pro 11 inch model, and it's difficult for me to use it in handheld mode because I don't have that much room to hold the device. I'm able to use my older Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and Surface Go first generation computers in handheld mode because of the bezels. Even with my Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone in an Otterbox Defender case, I get accidental side touches because of the curved edge-to-edge screen.
I know manufacturers are trying to push us to the "all screen devices" seen in the movies, but I wish they tried to use their devices for more than an hour (maybe try a week).
My wish list for the Surface Book 4 is move the headphone to the end with the hinge. Also use the upcoming Tiger Lake H Series 8 Core /16 Threads CPU or an AMD 8 Core CPU. The Tablet part needs to compete with an iPad Pro so maybe we will see an ARM based Soc when Microsoft get their Windows on ARM native x64 legacy app support in order. Upgrade the storage to PCIe 4.0 NVME and finally support Thunderbolt 4.0 which also adds USB4 as a bonus. I don't mind the bezels but would add a kick stand to the screen. Add speakers to the keyboard base to boast bass frequencies.
i finally just made my purchase to a new surface book 3~yeah~15" 32GB 512G ~hope it will work well.
How is going for you? Have you edited videos? I just bought one and it's on the way, but after seeing this video and noting the processor isn't super powerful, I'm wondering will video editing work ok and should I keep it. :)
Once again, great review. I have the SB2 15” and love it! No it enough enhancements to upgrade to SB3. ;)
Same here, I would love to find enough reason to upgrade, but maybe the SB4 will do it.
looks really nice
The best channel Sara, thank you so much for beijg you 😘
Great Video Sara Dietschy
Hi Sara, which version is that model? the most expensive or the cheapest
how is the palm rejection response? I heard it bugs over the edges.Thanks
So compared to the xps 13 two in one which one would you recommend more??
Sara qucik question you prefer The surface book 3 or the conceptd 7 ezel?
Its funny to see the way you wrap and hold all of these expensive displays so vigorous xDD
You can flip the tablet the other way to have that tilt angle just pull off the tablet flip it him it then you push over the keyboard downfall now keyboard is beneath you will need surface dial for extra shortcut but not the same like the screen and keyboard available on your own choice like you point
Pull the tablet up from one side not just straight up from the middle! It detaches perfectly that way.
8:26 - 8:30 when lockdown ends and when you have to get to normal life
Really good video, great review :)
Just wondering the option of the GPU for the surface book 3 (NVIDIA GeForce and Quadro graphics) is it more powerful than a Radeon Pro 5500M? Does the MacBook Pro 16 have a 4k screen? How much is the battery life of Surface Book 3 compared to the MacBook 16?
:) nice review, you point out many pros an cons :) :) thanks. :)
I need a computer may be thinking about buying this maybe
Did you try to use Surface dial on Surface book 3 screen? I cannot get on- screen feature working on my SB3
Does the pen come with it or do you have to buy it separately???
No mention about battery life! Or did I miss it?
When I buy a laptop, I do so with the expectation that there will be many times I might need to use it away from mains power. If I’m at home where I have mains power, then I can use my desktop, which is probably more powerful & with more screen real estate.
Point is, run time on battery power with a laptop is important for many users, and I don’t think it got mentioned at all.
Lawrence Dunn the battery life is 17 hours according to Microsoft
@@murmur578 OEM claims don't always match real world usage
I just got mine but i watched Netflix like 8 hours straight and i was starting to need to charge it lol
@@murmur578
whenever they say 17 hours it means that it lasts half, only web surfing, if you use the dedicated graph it will most likely reach 1 hour and I'm taking a risk
pls Sara can you make a video on comparison of dell xps 15 9500 vs macbook 16 inch model 🙏🙏
which would you recommend between this one and the xps 13 2in1 pls help
Just to adds to the video top heavy means better thermal better heat dissipation leading to better performance since gpu and cpu both part of the panels not at the bottom of keyboard where heat has hard time to escape but only noticeable if you doing heavy intense processing or graphical work like video editing. Top heavy does has its bonuses
As of today what is your top recommended creator laptop and why?
I'm all about that base no treble!!
Oh Sara, love that you!
5:30 What’s a ‘normal’? 🤔
I wonder if the gpu in the keyboard is giving full graphics cuz too me it looks like it would be similar to using an external gpu over thunderbolt. Hmmmm
love ur videos, review the samsung book flex pls
what apps are you using? other than Adobe PhotoShop?
Please make a video on surface go 2
How is the 15" in tablet mode compared to the 13.5"? Is it ridiculously big to use?
hi do they fix disconecting screen problem it was in surface book 2 so if you have something running on background you actually cant teak off screen before killing app also it was problem with automatic grafice card switching many times i need to forced manual also battery go very fast down in screen mode not worth money in that time 3000 euros
I am shopping around around for a new laptop, currently a surface pro 3 user. And zoom calls make my tablet extremely hot to where there screen will freeze and not function. Does this surface books have the same issue?
Who else got a mini heart attack at 2:35?
hahahaha
