Intel’s latest CPUs have a significant advantage in benchmarks like Cinebench R20 - by as much as 26% - and in real-world use, such as with the Adobe suite. There are other improvements outside of clock speed, cache, and graphics, however. Although still a far cry from a dedicated GPU, the x360, with its 11th-gen Intel chip, can handle light gaming better than the Surface Laptop 3 hands down. Intel’s 11th-gen mobile chips have some of the best integrated graphics we’ve seen. The 11th-gen i7-1165G7 boasts higher clock speeds and more cache than the i7-1065G7, plus it comes with Intel Xe graphics. Meanwhile, the 13.5-inch Surface Laptop 3 comes with either an i5-1035G7 or an i7-1065G7, depending on your configuration, and up to 16GB of memory.Ĭomparing the i7 processors available on both models, the HP has a clear edge, at least right now. You can pair the i7 with either 8GB or 16GB of memory, though not 32GB, like the latest XPS 13 offers. The latest x360 is built around the i7-1165G7, which is a quad-core processor with hyperthreading that has a max turbo frequency of 4.7GHz. At the same time, both also utilize fast PCIe solid-state drives (SSDs), and so they are quick at accessing and saving data. Both laptops are fast, but the x360 benefits from having a newer CPU. The Surface Laptop 3 picked up Intel 10th-generation Tiger Lake quad-core processors released in the fall of 2020, while the Spectre x360 is built around Intel’s 11th-gen Tiger Lake silicon (although you’ll find 10th-gen variants for sale). Performance Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 13-inch in Sandstone Joel Chokkattu / Digital Trends The Surface Laptop 3 is a fine laptop, but the Spectre x360 just looks better and has better connections. ![]() That makes the Spectre x360 the preferable machine for connecting today’s peripherals, including multiple 4K displays and external GPU enclosures. The Surface Laptop has one USB-A port, a USB-C port (no Thunderbolt 3), and a Surface Connect port for charging and docking. The Spectre x360 has two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 3 support and a USB-A port for legacy support. ![]() However, the Surface Laptop 3’s Precision touchpad (slightly larger in this version) is much more pleasant to use than the HP’s touchpad with Synaptics drivers (something HP rectified in the latest version).īoth laptops have touch displays and support active pens, and while the Surface Pen is better than HP’s Active Pen, the Spectre x360 is more comfortable to write and draw on when in tablet form.Ĭonnectivity is a more significant area of differentiation. The Spectre x360 enjoys one of our favorite keyboards, which, just like the Surface Laptop 3’s version, has excellent travel and a snappy and precise feel. Input options are also excellent on both. The Spectre x360 is 0.67 inches thin, and the Surface Laptop 3 is 0.57 inches, so the laptops are similar in size and identical in terms of weight (2.8 pounds for the HP, 2.79 pounds for the Surface Book 3). They both sport a rigid aluminum chassis with virtually no flexing or bending. You won’t find fault with either of these laptop’s build qualities. There are four color options split into two design styles: Sandstone and Matte Black with a metal keyboard deck, and Cobalt Blue and Platinum with a keyboard deck covered in Alcantara fabric. The Surface Laptop 3’s design is almost identical to the first generation, and it’s a rather typical thin and light laptop with a couple of exceptions.
