I doubt that anyone will see this but here goes.
I'm a first year college student and when I was looking for a new laptop to start this semester I decided to go with a surface laptop 3. Biggest mistake of my life. I normally never even write reviews but this laptop was proven to be one of the worst laptops I've ever had the ability to operate so I had to come out and hopefully save people from making the same mistake I did. From the very first day I received this laptop in the mail I noticed that the battery life was atrocious, a full battery will last me about 2 hours, and those two hours are spent doing what most college students are doing nowadays, in zoom meetings and completing work, the fan will kick in about an hour in of your work and the fan is incredibly loud and distracting. The laptop will randomly disconnect from any wifi at any given time, which is a HUGE inconvenience especially if you're in and out of virtual meetings. The performance of this laptop is mediocre at best, I couldn't even do simple edits on Premiere Pro without either the fan roaring or my laptop just crashing. The bluetooth is extremely spotty. There was a 2 week span where I had to join classes from my phone because the audio on the surface was just gone completely, I reached out the someone in Microsoft support and they offered little to no assistance before recommending that I buy a new one. Seriously the list goes on and on, just please do not put yourself through the irritation of owning a surface laptop, I've had it for almost a full year now and I'm just waiting for the summer time to get rid of it and buy a Macbook, yes, a macbook, this surface laptop is so bad, that my macbook air from 2016 runs better and has a better battery life. AND ITS FROM 2016. I'm not saying go with Apple, but honestly, just go with anything BUT Microsoft. A potato could have a better operating system than the surface laptop.
