![]() You're definitely getting a high-end machine for your money, but that's a big chunk of change no matter how you look at it. The one I've been using would set you back a little more than $5300. The cheapest Surface Book 3 you can get in New Zealand is just under $3000. This is fantastic for video conferencing and such, which has obviously seen a boom in popularity this year. The built-in cameras are also great, giving you 1080p on both the front and back. The battery life is also fantastic, giving several hours of usage no matter what you're doing with it - Microsoft reckons up to 17.5 hours. It also does a great job of ignoring your palm pressure to avoid accidental touches." "The screen heats up slightly after a bit of use, but not enough for it to bother me. "The pen feels good in the hand and offers almost no lag when drawing with it," said graphics supervisor Jordan Frost. I brought the Surface Pro 3 into the Newshub graphics department for a bit of a play and they all seemed pretty impressed. I am not a professional user of this sort of thing, but I work with plenty. Using Microsoft's Surface Pen is also super helpful in a lot of applications. If you're using it on your lap for a few hours this is a big plus. Most of this beast's engine is in the screen half of it, meaning the keyboard part doesn't heat up like other laptops. The Surface Pro 3 easily handled running a video editing software programme simultaneously with Photoshop, Spotify, Word, Excel, Zoom and Google Chrome while it had a few dozen tabs open - some on fairly hefty pages like the Adobe Experience Manager interface.Īlt-tabbing between these open apps instead of closing them down and launching them when needed was very satisfying and saved a lot of time. It also means working from home was far less frustrating than it would be on a less powerful machine. ![]() What does that mean? Well, that means it plays Call of Duty: Warzone and Civilization VI: Gathering Storm incredibly well. The unit I've been using has a quad-core 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor with 32GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (6GB, Max-Q) graphics card. Of course one of the biggest draw cards of Surface Book 3s is their power.
