The Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 13 Core i5-1035G7 (Surface Laptop 3 Series) 1TB / 32GB is Microsoft's 2020 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 14.5 x 308 x 223 ( = 0.57 x 12.13 x 8.78 in) display, the Intel Core i5-1035G7 4c/8t 4 x 1.2 - 3.7 GHz, Ice Lake-U chipset. At AED 2,899 in the UAE and ₹74,990 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Surface Laptop 3 with Core i5-1035G7 and Intel Iris Plus G7 delivers smooth multitasking for office workflows and light creative tasks, thanks to its 8GB LPDDR4x dual-channel RAM and efficient Ice Lake architecture. Battery life reaches up to 11.5 hours under moderate use, outperforming many rivals in its class. The 1.288kg magnesium alloy body and premium keyboard make it ideal for professionals who travel frequently between meetings or coffee shops. However, its 256GB SK hynix NVMe SSD is a severe bottleneck—read speeds under 1,800 MB/s will frustrate those transferring large files or running VMs. The single DisplayPort and no USB-C/Thunderbolt limit expandability. In UAE at AED 2899, it’s good value because the build, battery, and screen justify the premium over cheaper Windows laptops. In India at ₹74990, it’s overpriced—same specs are available for ₹55000–60000 from Dell or HP with faster storage and more ports.
