First of all, I would like to thank Puxiang.com for providing a three-piece set of Surface Book 3 commercial evaluation prototype (Surface Book 3 commercial version, Surface stylus, Surface Dial). Thank you! Thank you!

In recent years, Surface Book must have been heard by everyone in the notebook circle. It is professional, solid, strong in performance, excellent in operation experience, and the world's original split two-in-one design is completely distinguished from the products on the market. It is very distinctive and has a full sense of technology!

Before receiving the commercial version of Surface Book 3, Xiaobian had been using Microsoft's first generation Book products (Surface Book 1,i7-6600U ,RAM 8G, hard disk capacity 256G version). At that time, he was attracted by this cool appearance, and PC mode was suitable for modeling and rendering. The tablet mode is easy to carry and web browsing is also very flexible; after the screen is installed in turn, some hand-painted scrutiny, 2D effect performance, etc. can be carried out. It really meets my daily needs. The Surface Book series has the characteristics of multi-scene use and high performance. The three modes and high performance are very suitable for design and drawing workers.

The commercial version of Surface Book 3 inherits Microsoft's consistent high-quality characteristics. The whole machine is made of magnesium aluminum alloy material, which has high strength, light weight and higher thermal diffusion efficiency. Coupled with a skin-friendly and fine frosted texture coating on the surface, it has no cold feeling to the touch, but makes people feel silky and comfortable. Compared with our common metal shell notebook, Microsoft's surface technology will not be easy to leave fingerprints.

Let's take a look at the touching details of the Surface Book 3 commercial edition:
There is a large "Tian" LOGO embedded in the middle of the 1. A side. The mirror is made of stainless steel. The reflective effect is in sharp contrast with the surrounding area. The texture is greatly improved. There is no gap between the LOGO and the main part of the shell. This has to make people admire Microsoft's high-demand product workmanship and high-standard quality control. A camera and logo placed in the upper right corner set off each other, making the whole A side full of advanced feeling.

Let's look at the mechanical hinge design of the Surface Book 3 commercial version first. The damping control is just enough to open with one hand. However, the hinge design also makes this notebook computer different from common computers. It is not completely closed. The hinge has a large vacancy, but it also prevents the keyboard from sinking. I believe that when you see here, you will take a look at your computer haha, is your computer keyboard sinking? Of course, the hinge has also become a logo design, such a design is a different person's opinion, the next small editor will also talk about this design for our creation of the benefits.

On the left side of the screen part is still the place where the stylus is placed, so magnetic adsorption is convenient and quick to take!

The 3.5mm earphone interface is reserved in the upper right corner of the screen part, which is convenient for users to use wire-controlled earphones in tablet mode. The whole circle of heat dissipation holes is hidden in the groove on the side, which can not only ensure the beauty of the product, but also make the product appear thin and layered visually. This design can also form air convection and accelerate heat dissipation. In fact, it is not easy to insert a complete set of hardware into such a thin body and consider the heating of the screen at the same time. It is not easy to silently give Microsoft engineers a thumbs up!

There is a 12mm long power key and a 24mm volume adjustment key in the upper left corner of the top. There is a gap of about 12mm between the two keys, so that the user can press comfortably without accidentally touching, which is considerate. The arrangement of keys is also similar to that of the side keys of the mobile phone. Users are more natural and in place to use!

2. B- plane
On the B side of the flat panel, at the top of the screen is the front 5 million pixel camera and the Windows Hello infrared camera that we are already very familiar with. This can make the computer unlock the desktop quickly and safely. The experience is almost close to the unlocking speed of the mobile phone, and the experience is carefree enough! Matrix far-field dual microphones are located on both sides of the camera module. Close to the MIC hole, you can clearly see that there is a tight woven dust screen on the inside.

There are two slender speakers on both sides of the top of the screen. The same color design is made. The hiding effect of the opening is very good, and it is difficult to find it without looking carefully. Music playing, the sound quality is clear and natural, high and low frequency performance is good; when playing the movie, you can clearly feel the surround sound effect, and you are immersive!

Microsoft Surface Book 3 commercial version still does not use a narrow border design. However, the quality of this touch screen is still top-level. The 15-inch version has a resolution of 3240 × 2160 (260PPI). Brightness, color performance, contrast and other parameters all meet our expectations for this top notebook. Surface Book 3 commercial version supports sRGB and enhanced mode. For video workers, the enhancement mode is more suitable. It has greater contrast and more colorful and rich colors. The sRGB mode is more like setting for visual workers who need to print pictures. It can make the display color closer to and more natural than the color of printed products!

The 3:2 aspect ratio is still very comfortable. It makes it easy to process multiple windows or documents. When writing, when the main writing window is on the left, it is usually useful to display references on the right side of the display. Although many laptops choose a 16:9 monitor, 3:2 also has its advantages.

The bottom center part of the flat panel is a data transmission interface, and there are strong magnetic attraction modules on the left and right sides, which can be disconnected by program control. In addition, it is worth mentioning that some production and manufacturing information has been cleverly put here without putting it on the back of the product, which makes the whole product look cleaner!

3. c-plane
Mainly keyboard, control board and side interface. Let's look at the keyboard first.

Keyboard
There are many office notebooks on the market. While pursuing the thickness, they are frantically compressing the keyboard key stroke, resulting in very bad keyboard input feel, especially if they do not have a good experience during long-term text input, it is simply a pain! However, the thickness required by the battery and GPU for the Surface Book 3 commercial version means that the Surface Book 3 commercial version has sufficient key stroke, with a 1.55mm key stroke at the bottom, strong rebound, and a 1.9mm key distance input error is greatly reduced. The moderate length of key stroke and hard feedback feeling are especially suitable for text input. Especially after experiencing these days, the keyboard feel in the notebook is one of the best, which is really impressive, and the Surface Book 3 commercial version of the keyboard is still backlit.

Speaking of the keyboard, I would also like to talk about the design above the keyboard. The raised part above the keyboard hides the heat dissipation window, so that the heat of the graphics card can be quickly discharged through here. What a surprise. The side of the keyboard is designed with a radian edge, which can be vividly compared with a warm man's white belly, making people feel soft and comfortable.

Trackpad
The experience of the touchpad is as smooth as ever. It should be the best experience in the WIN version of the computer. After all, it is a son! The touch panel made of glass is quite perfect, so there is no need to worry about the marks of paint falling when used frequently. However, at the standard of 15 inches, it is still slightly smaller, especially compared with the large-scale touchpad on the MacBook Pro. Nevertheless, it still brings you a comfortable gliding experience with your fingers.

On the left side of the keyboard part, there are two USB 3.1 Gen 2 interfaces and an SD card reader. On the right is the Surface Connect and charging interface and USB Type-C(USB 3.1 Gen 2 specification, supports USB PD 3.0 protocol) interface. Here, I also specially tried to scratch the USB flash drive interface without damaging the coating, giving people a very solid and durable feeling.

Now that I have to say two more words when it comes to the charging interface, magnetic charging is my favorite. although the adapter of the new generation Book3 has been increased, the material and size of the wire have been greatly improved and are more flexible. the charging indicator is placed on the side of the charging head, changing from the two lamps Surface to one, and the luminous area has increased, not as dazzling as the Surface Book 1.

Surface Book 1 Charging Head Indicator

Surface Book 3 commercial charging head indicator, the luminous area is increased, and the indicator is more clear

Surface the interface of the commercial version of Book 3 is basically unchanged, it is really rare that all three USB interfaces support USB 3.1 Gen 2 protocol. USB 3.1 Gen 2 can provide a speed of 10Gbps, twice as fast as the familiar USB 3.0 protocol, which can better play the performance of products such as mobile solid-state drives and improve transmission efficiency. At this time, some people will question the lightning port. Microsoft's official explanation is that it doesn't hurt to consider security issues. After all, security comes first.

4. d plane
As shown in the figure, the D side is not full of heat dissipation holes and sound outlet holes like other notebooks. The Surface Book 3 has only two runway-shaped silicone pads and Microsoft laser carved characters. The whole is clean, simple and generous! The assembly clearance between D shell and C shell is controlled very small and the clearance around is rarely uniform.

5. Surface stylus
The Surface stylus has 4,096 level pressure sensing, which can give sensitive feedback with light touch, making it easy for you to draw and shadow. The ink is presented in real time on the screen as the nib moves, with little delay. There are many colors to choose from according to personal preference!

The appearance of the new generation of stylus is basically the same as that of the previous generation, and the surface treatment is more delicate and more quality. The tail of the stylus is an eraser, which can be clicked and double-clicked respectively to bring up the corresponding functions. The functions transferred here can be customized! Similarly, there is a physical button on the finger contact part of the pen body, which can be switched to the right mouse button on time. The stylus tip is replaceable, and the nibs of different thicknesses correspond to different tactility.

In addition to the obvious difference in pressure feeling between the two generations of stylus, there are also some trade-offs in appearance design: the new generation of stylus cancels the design of the tail pen holder, and the pen body is cleaner;

Replacing the battery is the way the two parts of the pen body are opened, and there are some changes. The first-generation stylus needs to rotate a certain angle to open it, while in the new-generation pen, it can be pulled out directly with a little force.

The second generation pen has many anti-fool designs, which are convenient for product assembly and daily maintenance. The design of the metal bayonet makes the two parts of the pen body more closely fit and more delicate visually!

6. Surface Dial
The Surface Dial is unified with the Surface Book table. The top is round and there is no extra decoration. The front side is divided into upper and lower parts. Color separation has been done. The silver part is still a metal spraying process, and the surface feels as comfortable as ever! The dark part is sprayed with black fine sand paint, which makes the hand feel more delicate!

Silver and black are staggered to create a sense of suspension. The two parts are connected by magnetic attraction. It is more convenient to open the bottom cover to replace the battery and click on the key! Consistent with Microsoft mouse operation, click the key to turn on and off, and perform Bluetooth search pairing when the long-press key indicator flashes.

Professional software that Dial can support
Surface Dial in the desktop state can adjust the volume and screen brightness; In some application interfaces, you can switch to the corresponding adjustment option by pressing the top to bring up the shortcut option version, then rotate to switch to the corresponding adjustment option and click OK. The whole process is very smooth and natural.

Performance configuration:
As for the configuration, I think it is good to use it. Of course, if I don't have any money, I won't say it! Personally, I feel that 256G of storage space is still a little tight, which can be expanded through USB. The transmission speed of USB3.0 is still considerable. According to my experience, expanding a 256G solid-state drive is enough for our common file storage. In addition, a mechanical hard drive can be equipped as a common data storage. After all, the price of solid-state drive is not cheap. It is still safer to place the data separately.

The following is the hardware configuration of this prototype:

Performance measurement
Next, in the main performance experience link, the editor tested some design software commonly used in industrial design (PS, AI, Rhino, Creo, Keyshot, Sketchbook, Concepts interface cool)

The editor used Dell Lingyue 7000, Surface book 1 and Surface book 3 to test the comparison of the startup time of various professional software. The computer hardware configuration and software startup time statistics are detailed in the following table (the following data are all measured, and there will be certain differences according to the software running in the background of the computer itself):

On the whole, the Surface Book 3 commercial version performs very well in terms of startup speed on professional software!
PC mode:
The startup speed of plane software PS, AI, Sketchbook and Concepts is also very fast. There is definitely no problem in daily design drawing (including BOOK1 made up by small plaits is still smooth using these plane software), there is no obvious heat generation, and the cooling fan hardly needs to be started.
RHINO
Rhino's startup is obviously much faster than that of the previous generation. After opening a large STP file (70.9MB), there is no jamming phenomenon after turning to view and edit it. This can be said to make our daily modeling work more satisfactory. We will not move one card or one card for half a day, which makes people crazy!

CREO
Creo version 6.0 software takes 17.12S to open
Creo is a common modeling software for small editors. Compared with new 3D files, this software is slower and harder to import a file in another format.
Then try importing a high-precision file (277mb)

During the opening process of the model, the cooling fan will start a little bit, and the sound of the fan will be slight, which will not affect the normal operation; the opening process is slightly stuck, this is a normal phenomenon, after all, it is an STP file. When the open file is saved, everything seems to return to normal, and there is no stuck phenomenon in editing and viewing. It is very normal to open STP files in industrial design work.

KEYSHOT
Keyshot version 9.0 software startup duration is 17.8s
Keyshot the necessary software for daily product rendering, build a small scene on the scene to feel:

Keyshot9.0 can support GPU rendering mode, and the rendering speed is greatly improved. During the material adjustment process, the screen has obvious temperature rise, but it is acceptable. The cooling fan is also activated with slight noise. During the test, the Surface Book 3 commercial version and the Surface Book 1 are carried out at the same time. The new fan has much less noise.

The above scene resolution is 8000*4500 pixels and the 300DPI sampling value is 64
Rendering with the Surface Book 3 commercial version takes 1 hour and 36 minutes, and it takes 1 hour and 23 minutes after GPU is turned on.
Rendering with Surface Book 1 takes 2 hours and 17 minutes.

Flat panel mode
The tablet mode can be more convenient to carry, and it is more convenient and flexible to browse the web. The 15-inch flat panel is quite cool to browse the web and collect some data. As a flat panel, it will not feel very heavy and the touch screen is also very sensitive. If only web browsing uses touch or
Surface Dial is still very good. Battery life is also sufficient!

Studio mode
When using PS and sketchbook drawing, we have to praise the hinge design of BOOK series. Although the hinge part increases the thickness of the whole machine, it can be converted into an inclined plane when drawing in studio mode, and the screen forms a certain angle with the desktop, making the drawing posture more comfortable.

Surface Book 3 Surface stylus Surface Dial for product hand-painting is perfect! The lines are smooth and silky. With the help of Surface Dial, such as brush scaling, brush transparency, color wheel rotation, etc., they can be completed with one hand. There is no need to be in a hurry any more!

Microsoft's Surface Book 3 commercial version is based on certain priority devices. It sacrifices raw power to extend battery life. It is very suitable for digital creativity, especially those who want to use Surface stylus, self-media work, artists, designers, etc. If you are a digital artist or self-media worker, you can use a Surface stylus, or you like the idea of converting a notebook computer into a tablet computer, and you have sufficient funds, Surface the commercial version of Book 3 will definitely satisfy you.
In general, the new generation of Book is still very good for friends engaged in industrial design, covering almost all the usage scenarios in industrial design work, and some scenarios requiring high-performance CPU and high-performance GPU can also be easily satisfied. Surface Book 3 Commercial Edition is worth a try.
