With the addition of USB Type-C, Wi-Fi 6, and Intel 10th Gen processors the Surface Laptop 3 13.5 delivers a solid follow up to the Surface Laptop 2.

Should Microsoft consider full Windows 10 on the Surface Neo?
63
At this point, who knows if Windows 10X will ever ship. I'm more worried about the Surface Neo, which is at risk of never launching if Windows 10X doesn't. Should Microsoft attempt to ship Surface Neo with full Windows 10 instead? I think they could and should. Here are my thoughts.

Review: Microsoft missed the mark with the new 15-inch Surface Laptop 3
51
The Surface Laptop 3 15 is a slightly larger version of the 13.5-inch model, but it also features an AMD processor and graphics. Unfortunately, it's far from a powerful laptop, and without Alcantara, it feels like an odd addition to the Surface family. Omissions like Wi-Fi 6, an SD card reader, and a more modern display keep us from loving this otherwise gorgeous laptop.

Will I be able to play games on the Surface Pro X?
For lighter gaming, actually yes. Thanks to the diversity of Windows content, you can actually turn this into a decent gaming machine for highly-optimized games, and arcade-style 2D side scrollers. Just don't expect to be playing the latest AAA blockbuster on ultra graphics.
