MANUFACTURERS recognise that there are still some holdouts who prefer a traditional laptop and Microsoft is one of them.

The company has been churning out laptops with great build quality and with its Surface Laptop 3, Microsoft once again has a hit product.

It's thin, robust and incredibly well-made, and the black aluminium version I tested is truly handsome and the one to get. It retains the wedge shape that the Surface Laptop range is known for, just with a little design input from Darth Vader, making the whole package sophisticated and luxurious.
