The Surface Book 3 has landed in the UK and now I want to provide my thoughts about this unique 13.5" laptop. I've thrown in some GTX 1650 Max-Q gaming for good measure.

[Shadow of the Tomb Raider 60fps Game Settings]

Ambient: Off
Depth: Normal
Detail Level: Low
Tessellation: Off

[Forza Horizon 4 60fps Game Settings]

Everything set to Off/Low except for Windscreen, World Car Detail, Terrain Quality and Lens Effects set to Medium.

[Extra Tip!]
I know Windows 10 game mode is supposed to improve performance but like with many other users experience, turning this off gave me far less dips below 60fps (including battery power). Anyone should try this regardless of system! Worth a shot!

Hope you are well and staying safe! Any questions, hit me up in the comments!
