Intel's latest 10th Gen CPUs feature more powerful integrated graphics than ever before, but they still can't compare to these custom Ryzens that borrow components from the Radeon RX Vega 11 dedicated GPU. Just be aware that you'll also have to deal with black bars on all widescreen content.Ĭlearly, AMD was able to craft a chip that can do more than what you'd find on a Typical ultraportable. Colors pop off the screen, making it a great laptop for reading comics, working on photos or watching movies. And the display itself is excellent, just like on the rest of the Surface lineup.

Its large screen gave me plenty of room to dive into web pages and documents. The 15' Surface Laptop 3 also excelled at productivity work. But, honestly, I didn't mind the black widescreen bars when Overwatch was running above 70FPS.

That resolution was skewed a bit on the Laptop 3's extra tall 3:2 screen, so I ended up playing in 1,872 by 1,248 to get the proportions right.
