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. MacBook Pro 16-inchīest Microsoft Surface Pro deals for January 2023

You’re still treated to the same brushed magnesium frame encasing both the Clipboard and Performance Base.Īnd, the typing and tracking experiences feel largely the same as before – perhaps the keyboard travel is slightly deeper. You can chalk most of this up to a larger battery to compensate for the increased power needs.īeyond these points, just about nothing else regarding the Surface Book design changes. Of course, this model definitely sees an increase in density, from the 3.48-pound version of last year to the 3.63-pound revision this year. However, it’s all tapered in a way that maintains the original thickness of its sides while meshing with the returning fulcrum hinge. The result is a keyboard deck that bubbles up to pool around the function keys and substantially taller vents. Despite this, the two models are identical in thickness at 22.8mm at their thickest point.īecause the clever engineers at Microsoft raised the height of the base and filled in the existing gap between the Surface Book’s two halves. The general look about the Surface Book hasn’t changed at all in this revision, save for a slight thickening of the base that’s noticeable only with both models side-by-side.
