We’ve previously reviewed the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 (Ryzen 5) as well as the Surface Laptop 3 (Ryzen 7), both of which are the “consumer” versions of the Surface Laptop 3 for Business.

One of the new features of the Surface Laptop 3 is its ability to swap out the SSD, though it’s not exactly user-serviceable. Price: Orders start at at $1,099 at $1,599 as tested
