The 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 has some of the best battery life we’ve experienced in a 15-inch laptop, which should be lauded. But, this laptop falls well short on both the power and versatility that most would expect from a 15-inch device, making it a disappointing followup for anyone who was hoping for more.

The new sizes, finishes, processor configurations and additional features like fast-charging all make this the most versatile generation of Surface Laptop yet. Long-term fans of the line will appreciate that Microsoft has finally embraced USB-C, albeit in a limited capacity. However, there are a few niggles that help competition from the likes of the MacBook Pro, stand out in front.
