The Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 is the latest iteration of the device and launched in October of 2019. Some owners of the laptop have reported seeing hairline cracks randomly develop on the screen. Yesterday, Microsoft confirmed the screen cracking issue via its Surface Support page and has stated that it will be repairing screens that crack, in certain circumstances, at no cost to the owner. Owners of impacted Surface Laptop 3 PCs who paid out of pocket for repairs will be reimbursed for that expense. As for what caused the screens to crack seemingly out of nowhere, Microsoft wrote in the support update that it had determined in a "very small percentage" of cases, a "hard foreign particle" could...

When Microsoft unveiled its Surface Laptop 3 at an event earlier this month, the company made it a point to discuss that unlike competition from Apple, it was aiming for easy, user-performed component upgrades. It’s one thing to make that claim, but how does the Surface Laptop 3 fare in actual real-world conditions? Thankfully, the folks at iFixit weren’t afraid to get dirty with Microsoft’s latest hardware, and decided to dig in to the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 3580U processor. Actually getting into the device was a relatively easy affair. After prying off the rubber feet on the bottom of the laptop, the iFixit crew was greeted...

Yesterday, Microsoft unloaded a bevy of updates to its Surface family including the refreshed Surface Pro 7, the Surface Laptop 3 (with a new 15-inch variant), and the all-new Surface Pro X. The company also gave us a glimpse at two products that will launch in 2020: the Surface Neo and the Surface Duo. We were able to get hands on the former three products and have some images that we'd like to share of them all below. At the same time, we'll give you a quick overview of what each has to offer. Surface Pro 7 This is largely a minor refresh to the Surface Pro 6 that launched last year. It features the same chassis design as its predecessor, with the exception of a USB-C port that has been added...

Microsoft held its yearly Surface event today in New York City, and the company is living up to the hype that has been building leaving up to the big unveil. There have been plenty of rumors swirling around the devices, and those reports have largely turned out to be accurate as we're staring at the Surface Laptop 3. The Surface Laptop 3 is available in two screen sizes: 13-inches and 15-inches (as previously reported). This is the first time that the larger 15-inch form-factor has been available for the Surface Laptop product line, and gives users who want a bit more screen real estate a new alternative. Under the hood, it has been confirmed that the 13-inch model is using quad-core...

Here it is folks; the bulk of the Surface hardware that we're expecting Microsoft to announce on at its event on Wednesday. Thanks to multiple tweets from gadget leaker Evan Blass, we have a look at the 13- and 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 along with the Surface Pro 7 and the new ARM-powered Surface. Starting off with the Surface Laptop 3, as previously reported, the laptop will be available in both 13-inch and 15-inch screen sizes. Blass posted renders of both, which share a common design language. One noted difference compared to the previous Surface Laptop 2 is that there is no Alcantara fabric covering the keyboard deck (which was also alluded to last week). Surface Laptop 3 (15-inch)...

Microsoft is planning to unveil new hardware during a special event scheduled for this Wednesday, October 2, in New York City. The company is promising "new and innovative things," though has stopped way short of offering up any specific details—just a handful of teasers on social media to whet our appetite. So, what can we expect? The easy answer is, new hardware! That much is obvious—this is a hardware event, after all. Fortunately, though, we are not completely in the dark. There have been several product rumors over the past several weeks, and even months, which may provide some clues as to what Microsoft is planning to unveil later this week. Surface Pro 7 To Flex Its ARM A Surface...

Microsoft's big yearly Surface event is less than a week away and the company is expected to broadly refresh its PC hardware lineup. Two of the devices that are scheduled to be announced include the Surface Pro 7 and the Surface Laptop 3. According to a new report coming out of France, the Surface Pro 7 is expected to see the biggest year-over-year change. Frandroid says that its internal sources claim that the device will feature a nearly borderless display along with a more modern design. We're not exactly sure what that means as the design formula for the Surface Pro family has stayed pretty much intact since its inception with angular looks and a somewhat industrial design. Perhaps...

Microsoft has done well with its Surface line of hardware in competing against Apple and others in the higher-end market for laptops and tablets. Microsoft is reportedly set to launch a new and larger Surface Laptop 3. Reports indicate for the first time Microsoft will adopt AMD hardware inside its Surface line. While a larger Surface Laptop 3 would be welcome by many (with rumors hinting at a new 15-inch model), the real change that will set the new machines apart from the predecessors is said to be a change to AMD processors. Rumors about this move have been swirling since the Surface Laptop 2 launched in October 2018. Some speculation had suggested that a Surface Laptop 3 might land...

Microsoft has an event set for early next month where new Surface hardware is expected to launch. Among the new devices we expect are a refreshed Surface Pro and potentially a dual-screen device. A new rumor making the rounds claims that the early October event will see the launch of a larger Surface Laptop 3. The rumor suggests that Microsoft will be launching a 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 to slot into the line with the current 13.5-inch machine. The larger Surface Laptop 3 will maintain the 3:2 aspect ratio that the current device has and reportedly keep the pen support. The specifications of the device are a mystery aside from the larger screen. Some are hoping that with the larger screen device,...
