The 15-inch Book 3 comes with that Core i7 CPU and NVIDIA's GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q, with the option of upgrading to NVIDIA's Quadro RTX 3000 GPU. But hey, even the 13-inch MacBook Pro is stuck with quad-core chips this year, so Microsoft is in good company. It's a bit disappointing to see quad-core CPUs at this point, especially when Dell managed to fit in a six-core chip in last year's XPS 13. Let's talk specs: The 13.5-inch Surface Book 3 features either Intel's Core i5-1035G7 CPU with Iris Plus integrated graphics, or the i7-1065G7 with GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics. There's still an annoying gap around the hinge, and both models are still a bit heavier than the latest MacBook Pros (3.38 pounds for the 13.5-inch Surface book 3 and 4.2 pounds for the 15-inch, compared to Apple's 3.1 and 4 pounds). But by standing still, Microsoft isn't doing much to compete with fresh PC designs like ASUS's ZenBook Pro Duo and Zephyrus G14 gaming machine. It improved on the clunky hinge from the original model, while also slimming the case down a bit. The Surface Book 2 was a gorgeous and well-constructed device. I get why Microsoft didn't want to change things up much. And their touchscreens are still perfect matches for the Surface Pen, making them useful for artists and anyone who needs a stylus handy. You can still pop out the screen with the touch of a button, mount it backwards on the keyboard base, or just use the display as a very large tablet.
The 13.5-inch and 15-inch Surface Book 3 laptops look exactly the same as the last models, and there aren't really any surprising new features.
