10 years on a Mac :: Now a Surface Book 3

by Volker Weber

I have zero experience with a Surface Book 3. But this is one great review.

Comments

I have a Surface Book 1
It took from my early adopter experience until NOW to get so it works right - updates, drivers, etc.
Lucky I also have a MacBook Pro. The Apple machine is smoother in operation. The Windows is still a little "jerky".

If I were rich, I'd get a 3.
The imagined tablet / pen advantage has not come about for me.

Nice video but: after two years with my surface book 2 (15", I7 etc.) i am still very disappointed. It has many dents ("dellen" in german) altough it only was transported in a (stable) notebook case. It has heat problems wich causes the processor often to slow down, since everything is placed in a small display cover.
Sometimes the fan starts to make very funny noises (not really fun). And last, hibernate mode is unreliable: sometimes its getting very hot inside the case, the battery is empty and the displays shows only a thermometer warning sign. Very disapointing for a "hig end" >2500€ notebook.
