Are there any alternatives?

The closest alternative to the Surface Book 3 are the other Surface products like the Surface Pro 7, Surface Pro X, or Surface Laptop 3. The Surface Laptop 3 is the only that also comes at this size, though it doesn’t offer a discrete graphics option.

　　If you can give up the tablet experience, the Dell XPS 15 and 16-inch MacBook Pro offer better processor performance. The XPS is also much cheaper.

　　

How long will it last?

The Surface Book 3 should last you more than a few years. Because of its unique design, you won’t be able to upgrade the memory or storage on your own. The Surface Book 3 comes with a 60-day return policy and a year of in-store technical support, so as long as you live near a Microsoft Store. The warranty is a standard limited one-year contract.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. Thanks to some powerful graphics, the Surface Book 3 is by far the most powerful Surface device ever made.
