I've had fewer bugs or issues with this system than any OEM laptop I can ever remember testing, and while I can't claim to love literally every detail, I like it far more than most. Objectively, the Surface Laptop 3 (Opens in a new window) is a very nice laptop. The Core i7-1065G7 brings far more graphics horsepower to the table than previous Intel CPUs - hopefully improving the Surface's value proposition in the process. One of the reasons I dislike the high prices on the first two generations of Surface Laptop is that users were stuck with Intel integrated graphics from the Skylake era. I was curious, however, to see what kind of additional value Ice Lake could bring to the system. I've hammered on the Surface Laptop family in the past because I didn't think the hardware deserved the price premium. The Surface Laptop 3 is the third iteration of Microsoft's "standard" laptop and one of the all-around nicest systems I've ever used. Note: While the ExtremeTech publishing system only allows us to list one author per story, sometime-ET author Jessica Hall also spent significant time with the Surface Laptop 3 and contributed her own experiences, thoughts, and evaluation of the laptop to this review.
