The retro hues throughout the trailer were punchy and the screen was bright enough to distract me from the reflections bouncing off its glossy finish. That dense layer of pixels captures such a sharp image that I could see 'Casio' written on a watch Gal Gadot gifts to Chris Pine's character.

Factor in the thick bezels and the 4.3-pound Surface Book 3 stands at 13.5 x 9.9 x 0.9 inches, which is thicker than the Dell XPS 15 (14.1 x 9.3 x 0.7 inches, 4.2 pounds), the Lenovo Yoga C940 (14 x 9.4 x 0.8 inches, 4.4 pounds), the Apple MacBook Pro (14.1 x 9.7 x 0.6 inches, 4.3 pounds) and the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (13.4 x 9.6 x 0.6 inches, 3.4 pounds). Also, the screen wobbles when you tap on the touchscreen, undermining what is an otherwise sturdy laptop.Īnother issue with the accordion hinge is that it extends the deck of the laptop.

Connecting the tablet and the deck is what Microsoft calls a 'dynamic fulcrum hinge.' This is the third generation of this laptop and the hinge still leaves an unsightly gap between the lid and the keyboard when the laptop is closed.
