Surface Laptop Go 3

[portmanz.]

As a student who doesn’t have a permanent desk setup, a thin 15 inch laptop with a touch screen is a must for me.
Personally I have an HP Pavilion with a 10th gen i5 and 8 GB of RAM. It’s the perfect laptop for my purposes.

I'll say... a lot of it boils down to what you are doing.

I had a first gen surface way back when. It was great for work tasks on the go, things like that. I didn't feel the need for dedicated graphics cards, cause I wasn't using it for really intense tasks like video editing or the like. Being smaller, it fit in a smaller bag that was easier to carry around in my daily life. The ability to attach the KB or easily disconnect it and use it like a tablet was also pretty nice.

I play games but when talking about laptop besides the specs the most important is how nice the laptop looks

[MrMisticZ]

256Gb SSD in a laptop for 1k$ is ridiculous.

Not to mention that it's SOLDERED in. I can somewhat understand RAM, but srsly, storage? C'mon, Microsoft.

[beefycroissant]

While it is expensive for the specs, it is 100% worth it for how nice it is. It feels incredible compared to other laptops.

At that price, if you want portability, the Apple silicon MacBook airs are the way to go

[workdesu]

if i like the look, maybe. it's a laptop that is compact-ish. it doesnt have to be top of the line powerful, as long as it's fast enough for on the go task and doing small works while on vacation or a trip. if i had to do more demanding task or games, there's the pc at home.

[eddieman]

As a uni student I would love this laptop

[joeldaniels]

I will choose the expensive laptop with great specs

[yassine-sa]

MacBook air is also around 1000$ and is portable and way more powerful. The only thing it's missing is the touchscreen the surface has, so if there isn't a clear use case for you for a touchscreen( it could be pretty useful for students when used with a pen), I think MacBook air is the way to go, unless you don't want to go into apple's ecosystem or can't live without windows

1000 dollars for an I5 and 256 gigs of ssd storage, not a chance. Thats not nearly enough.

[MXALOVE]

The base model is 799$ for 8gb less ram, going to 999$ is extremely steep, these specs maxed out are worth at best 599$ but the build quality is great, so maybe for everything it can be 799$ but still way more expensive than it should be. Also ATLEAST give it 500gb..

My 700$ MacBook M1 air would tear this i5 appart.

[mdgd]

Back then, I went with a normal ASUS laptop having i5 processor, no descrete GPU. Those specs were more than enough for which i needed a laptop for.

[POVwithRC]

It's the form factor for me. I walk about 15k a day with a tech backpack and tools. I very much like keeping as many things as light as possible. A sub 13“ documentation notebook would be a good call.

[raguel]

1k for a Laptop of these characteristics is simply... bad. For that price you can buy laptop with an core I7, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage and a 14.5" 2.8k oled screen.

ASUS - Zenbook 14X.

I have the the surface laptop go and it's really a nice laptop and works perfectly for uni, also small and portable, but I think they're too expensive

[luke.warm.freelance]

I know that everyone here probably does not like Mac, but the M1 MacBook Air for the same price is def a better deal. Way more powerful, better build quality, better trackpad make it more worth it imo. But, if you are looking for something on the windows side, I think that this is the best option.

[mafnyjosse]

My laptop is still dual core and use while on charge 😂😂😂

[Beast-eater-ZZ]

I would probably buy something else but if that was given to me, I would gladly take it
