日本Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 review – A Portable Powerhouse with a Few Caveats
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 is a sleek-looking light machine that has a slightly dated Intel Alder Lake U-series CPU under the bonnet. In reality, that’s not an issue since the 10-core chip packs enough performance for regular tasks. Of course, if you are a power user, perhaps a 15W chip isn’t exactly your cup of tea. Since that’s a compact laptop, the upgradability, and the port selection are limited. Still, compared to the Apple devices, here you get an M.2 slot and regular Type-A and Type-C ports which are compatible with the majority of the peripherals out there.
The 12.4-inch PixelSense touch display offers a 3:2 aspect ratio. This kind of tall screen is suitable for Web browsing or working with MS Office documents because of the extra added vertical pixels. Don’t expect miracles here, this is a 60Hz panel but content such as text or pictures looks crisp on it so we can call it a day.
This laptop offers Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.1 for connectivity and it also brings goodies to the table such as fast charging and a firmware TPM 2.0 for encryption.
