Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Surface Book 3: Revisiting A Modern Classic”.
As I said in my video, with the Razor Blade Pro 17, now is the time for big beefy laptops to shine., Because for most of us sheltering in place, our travel is limited to popping from room to room and sometimes chair to chair.. Now the 15 inch Surface Book 3 isn’t a desktop replacement like that Razor Blade, but it is the only computer of its kind that becomes a tablet on demand. (, upbeat, music, ), All right. So comparing the Surface Book 3 to a two year old Book, 2.
Microsoft didn’t change the design language at all. And, while that really bums me out, it’s important to understand why. The long and short of it, maybe the thin and light of it is this. Like the Starship Enterprise D, the Surface Book needs to be able to function in both docked and separated modes.. So Microsoft can’t meaningfully change this design because all the critical guts needed to run a full PC still need to live in this thin top half .
