Sure they played without a hitch as did Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. Starting out slow, I gave a couple of light Steam games a whirl, one being the Deathspank Trilogy from EA Games. True that the Surface Laptop 3 is NOT a gaming PC, nor is it intended for it, however – could it be? Naturally I HAD to see what it’s gaming capabilities were.

The i5 processor clocks in at 1.20 – 1.50 GHz respectively which, sure is on the lower side of the spectrum, still I did not encounter any issues using this small beast for both work and play. But it is enough for most and you’re not likely to run out of storage even with Adobe apps installed. So you will likely require an external storage if you’re a heavy data hoarder. On the review model that we received the internal SSD was a total capacity of 256GB (237GB available). 8GB RAM is on board, which is enough to keep you moving, and for those that need to do design or editing work, no need to fret this new Surface Laptop 3 can definitely handle Adobe’s chunky resource gobbling CC apps. The Intel i5 model that we received had a lot of guts to it. Similarly to pretty much all small form factor laptops the number of side ports is minimal, but Microsoft have retained one USB 3.0 port and a USB-C aswell as the traditional 3.mm headphone / mic socket.

The 2019 version called Surface Laptop 3 sees a 13.5 inch device with the traditional clamshell foray, and the screen being fully touch capable.
