Microsoft Surface Book 3 13.5-Inch Notebook (Silver) - (Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Home, 2020 Model)

It's a bit early to put up a review, really, however I can always update later. I really love this. I am a book cover designer and sit at a desk with my pc and tablet for some considerably hours each day, and the reason I wanted this piece of kit, is so that I can sit on the sofa, or in bed, comfortably and still work. I had considered getting a Wacom Studio, which works independently of a pc, but it was more expensive and it doesn't do anything else. This however is a laptop and a tablet so i can draw, paint, download stock, basically everything my pc can do on the comfort of my sofa. I've had no glitches, yet. lmao...but I promise you, if i get so much as a twinge, I'll be back here cause this wasn't cheap. I expect it to last for some time.

Love this replacement for my surface pro 3.A big improvement and worth the money for me. The ability to pay in instalments was a welcome bonus.Love the screen and keyboard for rapid and responsive typing, still learning to make the most of the surface pen.

I'd give this device a pass if it were either newly released or non-microsoft hardware, but it's neither.This notebook has multiple driver issues, i.e. the mouse cursor will constantly freeze and keys will not type for a few seconds every minute or so, making the experience of using the machine woeful.It is now on it's third software update and each time something else goes wrong with the drivers, the issues with the last update (including, but not limited to, keyboard/mouse failure/detachment sequence errors/constantly 'losing' the graphics cards etc) has [again] been acknowledged by microsoft on their support site (over a month ago with no solution yet provided - they pretty much say put up with it).Shame because the machine looks nice and while the average processor/graphics cards are a strange choice in a £2000+ device they're okay for general work as a programmer/engineer. Massively disappointing because you pay a premium for a Microsoft device in part so you know that the machine will work with the OS smoothly, yet here we are with multiple driver issues still present months after release, when ACER or other budget brands all manage to produce functioning drivers for windows, or even chrome OS, which is genuinely shocking.Note: Typed this review on my mobile because it is faster and more accurate than typing on the 15" i7 SB3.In two minds whether to return the device or not - wouldn't expect such a frustrating experience from even a £200 chromebook, but the device is again nice to look at and when functioning properly okay for productivity work.As I do most my work on my desktop currently I'll probably just put the laptop away in a draw for a month or so, see if a new software release corrects the issues then and return it the issues are still persistent, all together a pretty pathetic 'solution' on a £2.5K device.Edit/Update: Going to have to return the device, it's impossible to use, phantom clicks and key stroke misses have caused multiple annoyances at work (ruining code, leading to hours of troubleshooting) and the machine isn't even up to sending emails on.This is not an issue of faulty hardware - the machine has been replaced with one with the exact same issue and Microsoft acknowledge on their site that it is an issue with the software/drivers (note: they acknowledged this 4 months ago and are yet to suggest/provide any solutions).If you read this and then still chose to buy the laptop after you should not be shocked when you receive a device that is unusable without great inconvenience.

Really please with my new Surface Book.I had a few problems to start with, Windows problem not the Surface Book, however, I contacted Microsoft support and they sorted it out straight away

Battery life sucks, you might as well get a desktop

The Surface Books have a common issue where the WiFi regularly disconnects if using 5GHz. I forced it to only use 2.4GHz and it's been fine since. Otherwise, it's a very good device.

Sent very quickly over Christmas period and would not have expected them to, thanks. Product as advertised, very happy with laptop.

Nice perfect laptop
