I plan on buying this laptop for the purpose of school, animation and some amount of gaming. I stumbled across your channel while trying to search for reviews on it, do you think I should purchase it or buy a gaming laptop of some sort instead of this? (my budget is 400-500)(btw love this review)
Thanks for the comment! For school it is fine. It can do some basic animation and photo / video editing. But it's not really meant for gaming because it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card. So a gaming laptop would probably be a better option.
I've had that issue but mine is refurbished. It's not often at all but I have been monitoring it. I do use my laptop with the first gen surface dock and two monitors. It's held up pretty fine for my photo editing.
When i watch movie at full brightness and performance mode, it goes up to 8 hours of playback But when i do simple surfing and actually using the laptop it only goes 2 hours full brightness and performance mode... why is there so much a big gap????
I know someone who wants to get one (13'', 8gb ram, i5) for when they are out at sea to do word reports and watch downloaded movies from an external hard drive. Is this a good option?
A lot of different ones. For example a HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop. They are about the same price used, as a used surface laptop 3 and they have a more powerful processor, sometimes more RAM but also a dedicated GPU which makes a big difference. Especially for gaming and video editing. Also more ports. It's just that they don't have a touch screen, they have worse battery life and the build quality isn't as nice.
@@II_TimTam If you do light tasks that don't require a lot of performance, then I think this is better because of the touch screen, build and battery life. But if you do lots of photo editing, video editing and gaming then this isn't the best option.
@@ImportantTech used surface laptop 2 for school and it lasted a good 5 and a bit years years until it's battery died couple days ago. I think surface laptop 3 is a good option for a new one. Thanks for the review you earned a sub 👍
It works, but definitely not the fastest so I don't really recommend it for that. You probably need to find a device with a more powerful processor and gpu.
Depends on what you use it for. For gaming and video editing it's not a good option, but it's still good for things like internet browsing with multiple tabs open, Microsoft teams calls.
@@ilhemb3829 Yes you can use other video editing software on it, but it's not really meant for it. So the speed for video editing can be slow. Especially when you shoot in 4k.
I haven't used a lot of laptops, and I prefer to only recommend something when I have used it. And the laptops that I have used are already a few years old.

I wouldn’t use this for gaming.

Have you experienced this Surface Laptop 3 being shot down randomly and unexpectedly? If yes, tell me more
Ive never had that issue
I've had that issue but mine is refurbished. It's not often at all but I have been monitoring it. I do use my laptop with the first gen surface dock and two monitors. It's held up pretty fine for my photo editing.
I got one works great
When i watch movie at full brightness and performance mode, it goes up to 8 hours of playback
But when i do simple surfing and actually using the laptop it only goes 2 hours full brightness and performance mode... why is there so much a big gap????
I have no idea
How good is the battery life? How many hours do you get off a full charge?
It’s fantastic par with Mac book air
Mine is 3.5 hours
Please, I bought the device recently, but I stopped working on it. It only works by touch. Did you press a button by hand?
Do you know if football manager 2023 works good ?

hello, should i buy this or the surface go 1 , 8 gb vers ? i just need to use apps like ae and light games
I recommend the laptop 3 more than the go 1 because the laptop 3 is faster
for 250 euro with 8gb ram and 256gb storage and iris graphics is it still worth it?
That's a great price! It is still good if you use it for daily tasks like internet browsing, but I don't recommend it for gaming
Can i use it for basic programming is it going to be fast enough?
I wouldn't recommend it for that
Is it any good for AUTOCAD? Revit?
I know someone who wants to get one (13'', 8gb ram, i5) for when they are out at sea to do word reports and watch downloaded movies from an external hard drive. Is this a good option?
Yes for those things this is still a great laptop
Nice
Thanks
Surface laptop 3 in 2024 ??
Close to the same story as this one in my opinion. Not much changed
What are the other laptops which "peform better"
A lot of different ones. For example a HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop.

Especially for gaming and video editing. Also more ports. It's just that they don't have a touch screen, they have worse battery life and the build quality isn't as nice.
@@ImportantTech so strictly for work and school surface laptop 3 is better?
@@II_TimTam If you do light tasks that don't require a lot of performance, then I think this is better because of the touch screen, build and battery life. But if you do lots of photo editing, video editing and gaming then this isn't the best option.

@@II_TimTam Thank you!
What’s the battery life?
I heard it was okay
Is good for Photoshop, animate ?
It works, but definitely not the fastest so I don't really recommend it for that. You probably need to find a device with a more powerful processor and gpu.

Can i work wth final cut pro with this laptop ?
Final Cut is only availible on a few Apple products. Sadly officially not supported on Windows.
Do you know if it supports vidéo editing at all?
@@ilhemb3829 Yes you can use other video editing software on it, but it's not really meant for it. So the speed for video editing can be slow. Especially when you shoot in 4k.
OK thank you so much I'll start with it and then I'll move to something better, thank you so much again
Hi, please is good for programming?

Very for my purposes
Which other laptops within this price range will you recommend?
I haven't used a lot of laptops, and I prefer to only recommend something when I have used it. And the laptops that I have used are already a few years old.
