The Surface Book 3 15 charger is now 127 watts versus the older 102 watts that came with Surface Book 2.

Indeed, due to the lower core clock rate, it will likely be worse. While Microsoft is offering an option for NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 graphics, please make no mistake that option is not only pricier, but it won't be any better for gaming or general consumer applications. I'll also toss in some gaming benchmarks and framerates to see just how much better the GTX 1660 Ti is compared to the older GTX 1060 used in Surface Book 2. For example, the Surface Book 3 is more potent with its 4,979 score on Time Spy, while the Surface Book 2 only managed 3,557. One USB Type-C w/ video, power in/out and USB 3.1 (Gen2) dataįor the full review, I'll include comparison scores for the above 3DMark ones, though you can easily compare them to 3DMark's online database. Two Surface Connect ports (1 in tablet, 1 in keyboard base)
