I can't see how this would be an engineering issue as the connectors exist already for the 2 halves to come together. Why not allow for the 2 halves to still work together by simply introducing a cable between the 2? This way, the top half acts like a true tablet while giving it the power of the GPU in the lower keyboard half? And when I reverse the screen, the keyboard is no longer functional. The reasoning is this: I find it difficult to edit on the screen while both halves are docked together in the laptop orientation. However, I would recommend that Microsoft look at a way in which the two halves of the computer can operate undocked from each other through a cable. I have owned the Surface Book 2 for about 18 months now and I find it to be wonderfully equipped for photography as I do much of my work on location and on long trips. However, keep that keyboard at home and you're looking at something incredibly light that you probably won't even notice tucked away in your camera bag. The Surface Book 3 weighs in at 1,534 g (3.38 lb) including the keyboard for the base 13.5" model, or 1,642 g (3.62 lb) for the i7 version. The Surface Book 3 has up to 15.5 hours of battery life in the 13.5" model, going up to 17.5 hours for the 15" model for "typical device usage" but once Photoshop, and Lightroom are up and running we could see this reduce.Ĭould you carry this laptop all day while shooting on location? Well, being ultra-portable you'd hope so. Apple is claiming the 32GB option gives up to 50 percent faster performance when editing gigapixel images in Photoshop, but real world benchmark tests are yet to be carried out to confirm this.
The Surface Book 3 can hold up to 32GB 3733MHz RAM for faster performance when editing images in Photoshop and Lightroomīoth machines match up in terms of RAM, giving 16GB, and 32GB 3733MHz memory configurations. Microsoft also takes things a step further and offers a 10-point multi-touch touchscreen which may be why they're throwing in a Surface Pen with all pre-orders.

It may seem that the Surface Pro 3 has the upper hand here, and indeed it might, but it's important to remember that the more pixels a screen has, the harder the graphics card has to work to keep things rendered. How do the screens stack up? Well Microsoft has opted for a densely packed 3000 x 2000 resolution in its 13.5" PixelSense Display which gives a 267 PPI pixel density, whereas Apple are using a 2560 x 1600 resolution for its 13.3" Retina Display, which equals roughly 227 PPI. The 13.5", and 15" models though both have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with Max-Q Design (15" with GTX 1660 Ti), and boast 4GB GDDR5 and 6B GDDR5 graphics memory respectively.

That is, as long as you don't get the base model 13.5" version which runs Intel Iris Plus graphics. However, the Surface Book 3 has something the new Macbook Pro doesn't have - a graphics card. Microsoft Surface Book 3 comes in three configurations with 13.5" i5 and i7 variants as well as a 15" i7 version.
