Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 (2023) - 12.4" Touchscreen, Thin & Lightweight, Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD SSD, with Windows 11, Sandstone Color Copilot

I needed a laptop for pretty basic needs: writing Word Docs, sending emails, paying bills, filing my taxes. I wanted something simple, and a laptop that is fast. In the past, I've used Dell, and they were frustratingly slow. What I love most about this laptop is: (1) incredibly easy to set up and transfer everything over from my old laptop, utilizing my Microsoft account; (2) small, light, and sharp looking; (3) being able to use either the cursor or touch screen, and (4) its fast. The only drawbacks I have experienced thus far are: (1) because of the small screen, sometimes when I'm accessing online forms to fill out, some of the form is outside the window, and I am unable to adjust things to make it appear/fit in. This doesn't happen too often, but when it does, it's frustrating; (2) sometimes, when I'm operating the laptop on battery power, the screen is very dark and I can barely see it; and when I've tried to adjust the brightness, it doesn't help, so the only solution is to plug it in, which increases the brightness of the screen; and (3) given the small screen size, the font is hard to see; but that was my choice when purchasing this, and you CAN expand the window with your fingers on the screen, so you can overcome that. It's only been about a month, but all in all I've been very pleased.

I love this compact laptop that is perfect for travel! I moved from the Surface Go3 tablet and this runs so much smoother! Really nice for a smaller computer!The only thing is - I hope the Surface Laptop Go 4 will have the "Hello" face recognition, I do miss it. The fingerprint recognition is ok but the "Hello" is so nice

I needed a lightweight laptop for college. It's small, compact, but fast and reliable. I use a lot of Microsoft products so I always have stuff syched up to One Drive. It allows me to easily work on my desktop at home and have all my files at school seamlessly. I previously had an HP laptop and the One Drive sync did not always work immediately or sometimes at all. This little powerful laptop is great!

When I was on the search for a new laptop, I was debating on whether to switch to macbook after being a window user for years because I really like the aesthetic of the macbook but when I came across this laptop, I was immediately drawn to it because it looks exactly like a macbook but with a windows operating system and so far I really like it!Since it's much smaller than my older 15.6 inch laptop, it will definitely take some time for me to get used to it but I like how lighter it is and it was also really easy to set up.The reason why I'm giving it 4 stars though is because the second time I went on it to watch a live stream, the audio kept making static/crackly noises and the problem continued when I tried watching YouTube videos, but now the third time I used it, I didn't really hear any static sounds so I don't know what was up with that, but I figure it's probably a software issue that might be easily resolved by updating the computer.Also this laptop isn't the most powerful so don't expect to use it to play games. I got the laptop just to write books on and do basic web browsing so I don't mind it not being super powerful.Regarding the overheating issue, it does get hot when you let it sit on top of a blanket but if you sit it on carpet or a desk, it doesn't get as hot.Either way, I highly recommend this laptop if you're looking for something inexpensive that looks like a macbook!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Nice item very good

I bought this because my Mac had finally given out on me, and I was hesitant at first, because I have a preference for Apple, but I was caught by the sleek look it had, which I assume could be comparable to the look of a Mac. It really is as light to carry around as they advertise, and I like how soft of a blue the color is. When it arrived, the set up process was super simple and I easily fell in love with it the first day I had it. The only thing I could complain about is how the charger isn't universal, so it would be hard to replace if it gets lost, but other than that, I will be sticking to Microsoft Surfaces from now on!!

I bought this to replace my original Surface Go, which I loved for its small lightweight size. This one is a little bigger, but I am still happy with it for traveling. The only drawback is that the keyboard isn't lit. But overall it is a perfect size for carrying with all the features that matter the most.

Very slow. I have nothing downloaded and do all updates, for some reason this $700 computer freezes out of nowhere and take forever to load. It’s very frustrating for such an expensive product.7/28 So upset with this situation I'm back to let you know it just keeps getting worse! This laptop is a piece of trash. I only use it for school, I barely have anything downloaded. Just for school and if I try to read any article from any website, this laptop freaks out, freezes, shuts down. It's terrible and stupid.
