Included in only the 15-inch model is an Xbox Wireless adapter built-in. The laptop supports Bluetooth 5.0 but not the slightly newer Bluetooth 5.1 or 5.2 standards. It is using an Intel wireless card which is soldered to the motherboard. It’s by far one of the best additions to the Microsoft Surface Book 3 that makes it a great computer.Īs for connectivity, the 15-inch Microsoft Surface Book 3 supports Wi-Fi 6, or 802.11ax. It can’t easily be tricked by a picture and just feels very seamless. As soon as you open the screen, the computer scans your face and unlocks it. Windows Hello is by far one of the best features that should be available across all Windows computers. On the back, we have an 8MP 1080p HD camera with autofocus. ![]() In between those microphones is a 5MP 1080p HD front-facing camera and a Windows Hello IR camera for secure facial recognition. In that front bezel, we also have the 2 dual far-field studio mics. They do support Dolby Atmos, which is a plus if you're into their tuning. Microsoft includes two front-facing speakers inside the front bezel of the display. The computer has a 127W charger in the box and charges over the Surface Connect port. This device is obviously laptop-first but there is still the added flexibility of using it as a tablet even if it doesn't last as long. In tablet mode, I noticed battery life to be around two hours. My usage ranged from playing a little No Man’s Sky to watching videos on YouTube and editing documents in Microsoft Word. ![]() I was able to get around 10 hours of constant usage out of the device. Of course, not everyone is going to get the same battery life. There is also a Surface Connect port at the bottom of the tablet, but this is mainly used for connecting the tablet to the keyboard to become the laptop.įor battery life, Microsoft doesn’t provide battery capacity numbers but they do claim about 17.5 hours of battery life on the Surface Book 3 while it's connected to the keyboard. On the top left of the tablet/body, there is a headphone jack. On the right side of the keyboard, there is a Surface Connect port and a single USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port. On the left side of the keyboard, there are two full-sized USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports and a full-sized SD Card slot. The number of ports on computers has become less and less in recent years, but luckily Microsoft decided to provide a good amount of them on the Surface Book 3. Both the left and right side of the display have magnets to hold a Surface Pen if you choose to get one. It also supports Active Pen, so you can use any active pen stylus on the computer. There's nothing jaw-dropping about it either, I would have loved to have seen an OLED display or high refresh rate, but the display is good anyway and I can't complain too much. The Surface Book 3 has a fantastic display, but it doesn't get too bright while using it outside. It has an aspect ratio of 3:2 and a contrast ratio of 1600:1. The display on the Microsoft Surface Book 3 is a 15-inch PixelSense display with a resolution of 3240 x 2160 with a 260 ppi.
