The 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro measures 0.61 by 13.75 by 9.5 inches and weighs 4 pounds, while the Dell XPS 15 is 0.66 by 14.1 by 9.3 inches and 4.5 pounds. The 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 measures 0.57 by 13.4 by 9.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.4 pounds. Comparing dimensions is not very instructive. Other than holding the Surface Laptop 3 in your hands, there's really no way to tell the difference between it and a 16:9 laptop with the same screen size. It's a simple, clean look, though, made even cleaner by the elegant black finish of our review unit. The overall aesthetic isn't what I'd describe as cutting-edge or striking, especially since there are rather thick borders around the display. The additional inch and a half of screen real estate feels like the perfect way to take advantage of this laptop's unique 3:2 aspect ratio.įirst Look: Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (15-Inch)īest of all, the squared-off shape of the Surface Laptop 3's display makes it appear elegantly proportioned, with less empty space on the sides of the keyboard deck compared with a 15-inch 16:9 laptop like the Apple MacBook Pro ($2,118.48 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window). It's the first time the company has offered it in a 15-inch screen size, and I can't help but wonder what took so long to super-size the display, which previously came solely in a 13.5-inch size. The $1,699 configuration we tested is a bit pricey, but you can take home an entry-level one for $1,199, making it an excellent choice for anyone interested in a mainstream laptop.Īs the name suggests, the Surface Laptop 3 is the third generation of Microsoft's clamshell laptop. But it is larger than any tablet, its touchpad is quite comfortable, and its solid build quality and unassuming design will blend in nearly anywhere you take it. The 15-inch version reviewed here doesn't have a 360-degree hinge or a detachable keyboard. That's where the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 comes in. Or perhaps you simply prefer using a keyboard and touchpad. Maybe you've got a complex vacation to plan, or some regression analysis to perform.
