Microsoft Surface 3 Laptop deal
The Surface Laptop 3 is one of the best laptops around. It’s also a more affordable alternative to Apple’s MacBook Air. However, Microsoft’s laptop blows the MacBook Air out of the water when it comes to specs. The Surface Laptop 3 in this deal features a 13.3-inch (2256 x 1504) display, a 1.2-GHz Core i5-1035G7 quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD In our Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 review, we loved its elegant premium design and sharp, vivid display. We were also impressed with its performance and battery life. Overall, we gave the Surface Laptop 3 a 4 star rating and our coveted Laptop Mag Editor’s Choice award. At 2.9-pounds, and 12.1 x 8.8 x 0.6-inches, the Surface Laptop 3 is larger and heavier than the Dell XPS 13 (11.9 x 8.8 x 0.5 inches, 2.7 pounds), the Apple MacBook Pro (12 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches, 3 pounds) and the HP Spectre x360 13 (12.1 x 7.7 x 0.7 inches, 2.7 pounds). Design-wise, the Surface Laptop 3 is a classy and modern-looking notebook made of premium materials. Just like Apple’s lightweight, stylish laptop, the Surface Laptop 3 sports a sleek, minimalist look characterized by smooth curves and clean surfaces. As with most of today’s 13-inch laptops, the Surface Laptop 3’s port selection includes just the basics. You get a magnetic Surface Connect port, a USB 3.1 Type-A port and a USB Type-C input. There’s also a headphone/mic combo jack on board for connecting wired headphones, headphones or a microphone. This Surface Laptop 3 deal is a no brainer if you’re looking for a premium laptop under $1,000.
