![]() The Surface Book has now reached its third generation and harbours a 10th generation Intel Quad-Core i5 or i7 processor. But the focus of this article are the two latest models which define the top and bottom of the range – the flagship Surface Book 3 and the entry-level Surface Go 2. Regular laptops drive me nuts.Īlong with the Surface Pro we now have the Surface Laptop, Surface Pro X, Surface Studio, Surface Hub and the forthcoming Surface Duo and Surface Neo. With a Surface you can circle it, dodge in and out, walk past with a coffee and tap something, sit down and type, stand up and finger flick. With any other laptop or MacBook I find I am confined to a chair and pushed into a singular way of working. I’ve been a Surface Pro user since version 3 (now on version 7) and I can tell you the ease of use and smoothness of transition between input protocols is superb.

Microsoft sold it to me as the “do it all productivity device” and it’s been sitting, unproductive in its protective case. Thought about putting it up for sale, and still might, but who would want to buy one in 2022-23? It’s got that unique “collectors” vibe to it and would be cool to bring out every once in a while to play with. Although it’s so much slower than the MacBook Air for my needs, there’s nothing like it out there. Kinda forgot how cool the device is as I was removing the 15” screen from the keyboard in awe of how overwhelmingly massive a tablet that size is. ![]() ![]() I recently loaded up win 11 on it and it breathed new life into it. The thermals proved that to be a challenge with it slowing to a crawl and setting on fire after 10 min. I spent way to much on it in hopes of it being a beefy photo/video editing machine. ![]() I replaced my maxed out (besides the storage) 15” book 2 with an M1 MacBook last year and haven’t touched the surface book until recently. ![]()
