Microsoft Surface Pro 3 15-inch laptop review: Pricey for a reason - Business Insider

For some reason, laptop makers think that people who like big laptop screens only want raw performance, and they add powerful processors and graphics chips that add weight and call for chunkier designs.

I've seen several disappointed reviewers comment on the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3's performance not matching its price, which starts at a pricey minimum of $1,500. They're not wrong and certainly have a point. Other 15-inch laptops have way more power for lower prices. But they're often things you should keep on a desk rather than lugging around in a backpack.

The battery life is nothing too stellar. It's good enough that I'm rarely surprised that I need to plug in to charge, and I don't feel like it hasn't lasted long enough on a single charge.The screen is touch enabled, and can be used with Microsoft's Pen stylus. It's bright, crisp, and clear, giving you the sense that you're using a premium machine. It's more squarely shaped than regular laptop screens, which not everyone might like.

One of the more interesting things about the Surface Laptop 3 is that it runs on a custom chip from AMD rather than Intel. It's been controversial for some reviewers, but it's the perfect chip for most people.The custom AMD chip inside the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 is an all-in-one chip that includes a regular processor as well as a lightweight graphics chip for lighter graphical workloads.

The Surface Laptop 3 I've been using is the $1,700 mid-range model that runs on the AMD Ryzen 5 3580U and 16GB of RAM. For my workload, including lots of tabs in Chrome, Slack, and the occasional lightweight Photoshopping, the Surface Pro 3 has performed admirably.
