i have one, performance is good, but the noise is too loud. the heatsinks are provided by AVC and Delta. mine had a AVC heatsink, it couldn't handle i5 1035g1 at 30 watts. so i send it to lenovo, they replace the heatsink. now my s740 can run at 30 watts with frequence at 2.5GHZ. i've also test gta5 and DMC5 on it, these games run very well. by the way, my unit is 1035g1 and mx250

Correct me if I am wrong, but Apple does not give you extra ports when you go from the 13inch to 15/16inch. Certain 13 inch models come with 4 ports itself.
Will def go for the 13 rather than the 15 simply because its easy to move around with it, which i will. But the weird thing is, 13 is more expensive here than the 15 in Holland. Will be designing a lot with it so i think that the surfacebook is a good option to go with.
Would you recommend this for university? I honestly do not know what is best for schooling when it comes to laptops. Or are there other laptops that are best for university?

Hey, I've got question. I cannot decide between buying the HP Elite-book x360 1030 G3 (700 nits FHD display) with an core i7 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD or the Surface Laptop (gen 1) with an i7 (+ Intel plus graphics 640) 16 GB RAM and 512 GB. They both go for 999 Euros. IO is not that important for me (i don't need USB C Thunderbolt) as I only use USB A of which both only have one. So that's a tie for me. And the 360º hinge is nice but i wouldn't use it at all as i don't use the pen. (I'm a student). Plus, I love the color burgundy and in general the surface laptop design (much more than the one on the hp). The surface Laptop has my favorite keyboard in any Laptop. I'd also like to play small games form time to time (e.g. Minecraft), but i think both are good enough when it comes to something like this, right?
i have the surface laptop 3 (13inch) and would highly recommend. The keyboard and screen are amazing as well as the design of the laptop( even prefer the design over the macbook)
hey man how many hours battery do you get with yours? the video says 10 hours, but my new 13" i5 is only getting around 6 hours with light use and low screen brightness :/
@@MatthewMoniz Brother there might be several tests other than the compile test as the compile test is the first basic test that every programmer uses and it may be almost same in each and every laptop nowadays.

I've seen this now, what were the settings of overwatch on the 13.5" surface laptop 3? Considering buying it for gf but need to know overwatch performance please
hey matt i have this brand new i5 version but only getting around 6 hours battery life, with fairly light use and low brightness...you mention you get 10 hours! which is a massive difference. do you have any advice or thoughts on that? i use edge chromium, very light use web browsing, emails, some music here and there, recommended or battery saver mode and 40-50% brightness and cant even get to 7 hours.....im considering getting a replacement because i need more hours at this level of usage...
Wish I could have seen this video earlier! But actually I learned the hard way. I originally got the 13 inch in blue with Alcantara (i7). Unfortunately I received a faulty unit and it simply would not fire up no matter what I did. I returned it only to find out that the same config was out of stock both at MS and Best Buy, so I decided to get the 15 inch in matte black (also i7). Yes, the screen is obviously bigger but for some reason the keyboard feel is not as nice and I must be a unicorn but I REALLY loved the feel of the Alcantara (especially in blue)! Matt black is only available in metal. However, portability is a priority for me, and the 15 inch is not the most portable. I already own a 15 inch XPS. So guess what? The blue 13 inch with i7 is back in stock and I just ordered it again! I will be returning the 15 inch because the 13 inch one is way more portable, the matt black is a major fingerprint magnet, and I miss the Alcantara..and oh yeah, I love that blue! If they offered the 15 in blue with Alcantara I would get it in a heart beat! I know, makes no sense...lol
Hello! Im trying to choice between the surface laptop 3 and the macbook pro, ive compared the hardware and i think the macbooks one is better, but by the software and performance, which one do yall think is better in general? im using it to code, to study, and sharepoint and all office 365 tools
Would the 15” still be portable compared since it’s light and thin? The dell xps 13” 2in1 would be another option with the 16:10 screen ratio. Which would be the best option or the Microsoft surface 13” is the best one?
well, it depends on you: what do you need in a compact Laptop? also: do you want a small or medium Display (like 13" or 15", but it is a difference of ~5cm, because 1" is 2.54cm)
100% Alcantara, that shit holds up and is feels great on the wrists. I spilled beans on the first gen surface and I thought it was a goner. I was wrong, didn't even leave a visible stain!
hello good veidio!! umm do i wanna buy sandstone..but i can't see it in real... it's not pinky?? it's okay for man you think?? if it looks like iphone7 gold, it will be so cool for me but if it looks like iphone7 rose gold..it's pinky....and it feels girlish to me.. please give me your advice..
I've owned a couple of these Surface Laptop 3's (13.5 inch) - the only issue with them is the coil whine which plagues them. I'm not sure about the 15 inch variant, but the 13 inch variants all suffer from annoying coil whine. Other than that, the screen is great, speakers are good (better on the alcantara version i'm lead to believe), keyboard is great, trackpad is great and the battery life is more than decent.
Eli Czaplinski glad to hear it - guess you got lucky then! Even the ones on display at Curry’s and John Lewis have a slight slight buzz to them if you listen closely. I’m not too fussed about it - it’s very faint
Hey Matt, I just saw that you were using Adobe premiere on this 13 inch laptop. How does it fare? I'm in the market for an editing laptop with premiere and am tossing up between this and the surface book 3 13.5"
Great thoughts Matt, basically pointed out all the flaws as well. I’m debating between this model, X1 Carbon and 13 inch MBP. Do you think the keyboard is still a risky gamble? If wait for 2020 but need a computer ASAP.
the 13" mbp got a much better trackpad and a better screen. if you wanna cheap out and go the windows route get a lenovo yoga s740 instead of an overpriced windows laptop
Thanks Essa! That’s a tough one. They’re both similar spec’d however, i do find the performance to be better on the MacBook Pro 13. They also have faster drives. This really comes down to budget and whether you prefer Mac or windows.
Hey Matthew can you help me out by recommending a laptop which will be under a 1000usd mostly for content creation (graphic design basically). I'm so confused and i am under a budget. Was looking for Legion y540 but the colour reproduction isn'tt that great it seems.
Raian Levy yes sir. I returned my Surface Pro 7 and I got the Surface Laptop yesterday. Didn’t even have the Pro 7 for a week and I didn’t really like it. I’m loving the laptop tho
Raian Levy I just didn’t really like the touch pad on the type cover and it seemed a little too laggy for me to use as a daily pc. I’m glad you really like yours. That’s the beauty of surface computers. They seem to last forever
Hey Matthew, do you have any idea about surface book 3? I like design of SB2 and I wanna wait if it comes out in early 2020. Because surface book 2 is now two year old device with underpowered cpu
I mean they’re pretty even in some ways but the MacBook Pro has a few slight advantages like faster SSDs. Deciding between these two really comes down to whether you prefer MacOS or Windows 10.
Please please pleaseee :') address the screen cracking issue that was there in MSL3 in your upcoming MS Laptop 4 review. Maybe if you can, test it :').
I think the Surface Laptop 3, 15 inch was a poor effort, seemingly an afterthought, a who cares attitude, typical MS. Just having a bigger display with limited change in anything else, apart from a sub-par SOC, same battery, same IO, same keyboard layout. Why bother MS? So the 15 inch really is a missed chance and there are far better alternatives out there, the LG Gram would be a better choice, is one. As for the 13 inches, it does what it says on the box but is uninspired and overpriced. Although the finish is nice, I do not really care about that per se and the lack of Thunderbolt is a bit silly. Having used the previous model one of a few qualms was the mirror-like display, which I find unhelpful and what is the point? The tech is out there for anti-glare, MS being cheap? So the Surface Laptop 3, 13 inch is an MS fans choice. Difficult to be in my Top 5 choices. The 15-inch is a waste of money and not a good buy in any respect. Of course, in a few months, they will drop in price and you can pick them up for about half-price, so then maybe you can overlook the negatives.
Ya im not sure why it does that. It's fine on my computer but when I upload the video to youtube there is a slight lag. It's really annoying. I'm looking into it.
@@MatthewMoniz The days of MX250 are numbered. It isn't really a huge upgrade over Ryzen or Ice Lake integrated GPU, especially when you consider the power draw it adds.
I like the quality of Microsoft laptops. However, I agree with Matt and feel that Microsoft were lazy with the 15 inch variant (small battery, outdated hardware, lack of ports). The bigger laptop should come with further bonuses like most tech companies do.

Same. The i5 configuration, right?
Raian Levy yes sir. I returned my Surface Pro 7 and I got the Surface Laptop yesterday. Didn’t even have the Pro 7 for a week and I didn’t really like it. I’m loving the laptop tho
@@legocat0306 I've had a surface 3 since it came out in like 2015, still works amazing. I just need more
Raian Levy I just didn’t really like the touch pad on the type cover and it seemed a little too laggy for me to use as a daily pc. I’m glad you really like yours. That’s the beauty of surface computers. They seem to last forever
Nice! Awesome vids btw!
Thanks dude!!
can you watch 4k videos on any surface laptop 3?
Is it 13 or 13.5 inch size of acreen?
Hey Matthew, do you have any idea about surface book 3? I like design of SB2 and I wanna wait if it comes out in early 2020. Because surface book 2 is now two year old device with underpowered cpu
My guess is a spring announcement since they usually do two events per year

Is it just me or the audio and video don't synchronize?
Are you using Google Chrome?
Yes its out of sync for me.
Same for me. I'm on Safari and the audio is ever so slightly out of sync.
@@MatthewMoniz Firefox, on Linux
@@MatthewMoniz Its just a tiny bit out of sync, though.. Its not that big of a deal, was just wondering if it was only me who's been having this issue
Whoa I'm here EXACTLY 1 year later
1:59 Is that a typo on the screen size for the 15"?
Ya should say 15 inch pixelsense display not 13.5
Will I be able to run and play Team Fortress 2 and/or Skyrim on medium graphics and get 60fps?
Jean-Rosch Prudencio 30ish, yeah
Could you compare it to the surface book 3 plz ?
bro which one should i opt out for Dell G7 17 i5 9th gen RTX model or Acer Predator Helios 300 with 1660ti and i7 9th gen under 1000$ ?
Predator
What kind of video editor I should use on my surface laptop?
It's very hard to find it internationally. Just anywhere outside America.
Great video matt❤
Thanks SMIT! = ) Wioth exams done do you have a break now or still studying?
@@MatthewMoniz Yes I'm done with my exams
2:28 GPU USAGE %65536 xD

Hoping to get this for Christmas!
Has anyone ever noticed Matthew looks like the tech version of DuncanTrussel? Hahaha both are great guys!
Love this video btw!
LOL no idea who that is butt ill look him up! Thanks dude
is it just me or is the audio and video out of sync?
It’s out of sync
You did not mention that u need specific m2 ssd drive for this
You can use any m2 ssd. You dont need to buy from Microsoft.
What is e best laptop for editing???
No offense but do you have any sort of problem in your left eye (my right) , coz it looks really weird or smaller to me sometimes.
Buying this laptop for my birthday which is 2 months away!
Is this better than the MacBook Pro?
I mean they’re pretty even in some ways but the MacBook Pro has a few slight advantages like faster SSDs. Deciding between these two really comes down to whether you prefer MacOS or Windows 10.
Please please pleaseee :') address the screen cracking issue that was there in MSL3 in your upcoming MS Laptop 4 review. Maybe if you can, test it :').
you are shining like a star , i don’t like the ports
This or LG gram or Xps?
I think the Surface Laptop 3, 15 inch was a poor effort, seemingly an afterthought, a who cares attitude, typical MS. Just having a bigger display with limited change in anything else, apart from a sub-par SOC, same battery, same IO, same keyboard layout. Why bother MS? So the 15 inch really is a missed chance and there are far better alternatives out there, the LG Gram would be a better choice, is one.
As for the 13 inches, it does what it says on the box but is uninspired and overpriced. Although the finish is nice, I do not really care about that per se and the lack of Thunderbolt is a bit silly. Having used the previous model one of a few qualms was the mirror-like display, which I find unhelpful and what is the point? The tech is out there for anti-glare, MS being cheap?
So the Surface Laptop 3, 13 inch is an MS fans choice. Difficult to be in my Top 5 choices. The 15-inch is a waste of money and not a good buy in any respect. Of course, in a few months, they will drop in price and you can pick them up for about half-price, so then maybe you can overlook the negatives.
Does it overheat?
is the audio lagging for anyone?
Ya im not sure why it does that. It's fine on my computer but when I upload the video to youtube there is a slight lag. It's really annoying. I'm looking into it.
I am getting this laptop for school and online classes my grandpa is gifting me as I did top in the class
Remember the days when 13 inch laptops had 3 usb’s and seperate mic and headphone jacks? What the fuck happened?
the alcantara kills it for me; i want the matte black all metal but on the 13inch;
Izumi Koushiro you can get the matte black for the 13 inch but you would need to purchase the 256G option or higher
Matthew Moniz, has anyone ever told you that you resemble commander Waterford from Handmaid’s Tale?
BLESSED DAY!!!!! Yes, many times haha.. I've gotten Commander Waterford and Ryan Reynolds or just Deadpool
It may be best of Surface class, but no thunderbolt in 2019? Kidding right?
I said best of the surface laptops not class. Don’t change my words and I talked about more IO at the end of the video and pointed out no TB3
Is 1650 worth it in gaming laptop?
Ya if you're on a budget! You can game at 1080p with medium settings
I would like to see this laptop with dedicated graphics, someone else?
A GTX 1650Maxq in the 15" and mx250 in the 13 would be bueno!
@@MatthewMoniz The days of MX250 are numbered. It isn't really a huge upgrade over Ryzen or Ice Lake integrated GPU, especially when you consider the power draw it adds.
I like the quality of Microsoft laptops. However, I agree with Matt and feel that Microsoft were lazy with the 15 inch variant (small battery, outdated hardware, lack of ports). The bigger laptop should come with further bonuses like most tech companies do.
