Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 - Do NOT buy this laptop...

Review of the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3. It's a beautiful well made looking laptop but there's 1 big problem.

Better Laptop Options for the Price:

No backlight on a laptop is just unacceptable nowadays. Its just immensely practical aspect. Let alone everything else mentioned at $1000

Totally fair review from Mat. I love Surface laptops too, they are gorgeous and well-built, with Zero bloatware, zero promotions, great-designed minimal system control software that doesn't hog your system in the background with random memory leaks and battery drain, and zero stickers - a truly premium experience that can rival Apple but they were always the fancier or the more expensive choice. This year, Microsoft lost their minds putting in a year-old chip and pricing it to the moon.

Can't wait to see their future as when it comes to the PC industry, Surface devices benefit the most from ARM chips.

It is a short, but one of the best videos he has made so far. It is so accurate, and on point. I have seen a ton of videos for the same product and people have tried hard to justify its price so much. But here, he was brutally honest and I respect that. Saved so many people from stupidly spending their money.

This is how all tech reviews should be done! Just visualising a customer scenario going to a store or shopping online and building a script around it.

so facts, OVERPRICED!!, super like how you explain & compare things 👍🏻

[vzuzukin]

Great narrative storytelling! Do this more often. It's very engaging!

Good and honest review. My work sent me a Surface Go 3 laptop and I hate it... the charging plug keeps falling out and it's underpowered for driving multiple monitors in a work at home setup.

Love this style of role playing review xD thanks for bringing devices like these to our attention that no other reviewer seems to be doing. You're the best MATT!!! 🙌

Agree completely with this excellent review. Unfortunately, over the pond here in ol’ Blighty we can’t get anything like the BestBuy bargains at the price points indicated. For example, the very good Zenbook 14X is over £1, 200 here in the UK right now, and that is with a discount, albeit in an i9 and 1TB set up but still we can’t get hold of any other spec for less. But I would never recommend this Microsoft laptop for the price anyway as the competition is still better even when equally ludicrously priced. Love your reviews, Matthew. Keep them going!

I literally bought a brand new Dell xps 15 with a dedicated nvidia gpu, i7, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd for around $990 including tax during the back to school sale in August on the Dell website. Are people seriously paying 1k for the Laptop Go? That is a total rip off.

I'm part of the niche community that really likes these smaller compact laptops going all the way back to the netbook days. I still own the 1st gen Surface Laptop Go and the only compact laptop that resembled this was Apple's old 12in retina macbook. A large tablet+keyboard case has become the norm nowadays. For those like me that prefer a traditional laptop but still want a small compact device, the Surface Laptop Go line might be our last hope.

Hi Mathew. I just subscribed to your channel. Great review. Can you recommend a 10-12 inch laptop better than surface go? I feel microsoft is targeting people who are specially interested on smaller laptops. Sadly i havent find a decent competitor on this size segment.

Thanks for making a short video and not followin/milking the algorithm 👍🏻
However, I am certain 99% of the buyers will be able to see the display before taking one home

[keyleb]

I totally agree with you, it’s good as a sub $500, but at the price it’s in, that’s just sad!!
And they get surprised when their surface line is not doing good!
It’s just sad what they do

[omarcortes]

This is what some people don’t fully understand. It’s not just the brand it’s what you get for your money.

[esparda]

Absolutely banger of a review. Thanks Matthew!

[hermanwooster]

Glad to see someone call MS out for this. I've been noticing this for years and it's always a shame that MS thinks because Apple charges a premium that they can do it too.

[oliversmp]

"I can't even recommend it to my grandmother" sums up everything 😹

[kaffeekaffee]

I like how he made the presentation so that I don't get scammed. Seriously a minute ago I was browsing MS store on this laptop, and was surprised at the price and specs.

[williambryant]

I appreciate the honesty here, Matthew.
