ORIGINAL: Ruphus Interesting how non natives, in contrast to you, always tend to judge most snappy. Aware of my skills having degraded since the times when I learned English business correspondence, and during a lengthy stay in the US [...] As I said, I know to have quite degraded in this realm; but would it be like ‘total crap’ in the way a Kitarist files it? Man, you are one weird dude. In your original post you were very careful to ask the question in the abstract; no personal connection or any context. This impulse of yours was good - presumably you did it this way because you wanted opinions uncoloured by personal considerations. But then, having receivied some unfavourable reviews, you decide to come out as the author of the text and also 'tsk-tsk' the "non-natives" for honest replies. Bad Ruphus. As I indicated already in my initial reply, context matters (BTW I never said 'total crap'). If I had asked you to review here the Surface Book 3 for the benefit of foro members, I'd be very happy with your review. No problem understanding 100% of the language and 95+% of the ideas. Piwin already covered the most important points for you; hope you take note. Here's something interesting: You: "Gaming Performance The processing of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q in the Surface Book 3 13.5 suffices to conduct games of the late years, partly even on high graphical resolution. Albeit, with very demanding new versions of games a scaling down of graphical detail will be due. With the 3:2 format of the display, “The Witchers 3” for instance emerged in a distorted full screen mode. In such a case gamers have to deal with limitations, respectively with tweaking for adaptation. Games seamlessly compatible with the built-in graphic card have been listed in our GPU games list. " From https://www.notebookcheck.net/Surface-Book-3-13-5-review-Microsoft-convertible-is-slowly-getting-old.477543.0.html : "Gaming Performance The performance of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q in the Surface Book 3 13.5 is sufficient to be able to run games from recent years smoothly even at high graphics levels. With very demanding and current titles, however, a reduction in the details setting is necessary. The 3:2 format of the screen, for example in The Witcher 3, resulted in a distorted display of the image format in full-screen mode. Here, players have to reckon with restrictions or an increased need for adjustment." You: "Noise emission The fans of the Surface Book 3 13.5 are relatively quiet at 33,6 dB(A). Furthermore, will these only start with greater strain of the system, audible through an evenly swishing sound. During Office application fans will stay idle nearly throughout, making the Microsoft-Convertible suitable for noise sensible surrounding." From https://www.notebookcheck.net/Surface-Book-3-13-5-review-Microsoft-convertible-is-slowly-getting-old.477543.0.html : "Noise emissions The fans of the Surface Book 3 13.5 are relatively quiet with a maximum noise level of 33.6 dB (A). In addition, these only activate when the system is exposed to a greater load and then run with a steadily whirring noise. The fans are almost completely deactivated in office use, which makes the Microsoft convertible well suited for use in noise-sensitive environments. " You: "Speakers The loudspeakers in the Surface Book 3 won´t deliver much of volume, will however produce a considerably broad spectrum of sound. Thus, in quiet environment the Windows-Convertible will pretty much fit with playing back medial contents. Yet, regarding long-term use engagement of external speakers or headphones could be preferable, which for instance be connected through the available 3,5 mm jack port." From https://www.notebookcheck.net/Surface-Book-3-13-5-review-Microsoft-convertible-is-slowly-getting-old.477543.0.html : "Speakers The speakers in the Surface Book 3 don't play very loudly, but they do offer a wide range of sounds. This makes the Windows convertible perfectly suitable for playing media content in quiet environments. In the long run, however, users should rely on external speakers or headphones, which can be connected to the tablet part, for example, via the existing 3.5 mm jack connection." You: "Energy consumption Especially under increased load the Surface Book 3 13.5 shows a lower demand than the Surface Book 2. Also compared to other devices in our database that feature the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q the Microsoft-Convertible comes off significantly less consuming. Within our test field, only devices without dedicated graphic card pass at a lower power draw. The included charging unit provides an output of 95 watts. Enough to reliably deliver what the Microsoft-Convertible needs." From https://www.notebookcheck.net/Surface-Book-3-13-5-review-Microsoft-convertible-is-slowly-getting-old.477543.0.html : "Power consumption The Surface Book 3 13.5 shows a lower energy requirement than the Surface Book 2, especially under load. Compared to other devices from our database that use an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q, the Microsoft convertible is also significantly more economical. Only devices without a dedicated graphics card show lower power consumption in our test field. The included charger has an output power of 95 watts and is therefore sufficiently large enough to reliably supply the Microsoft convertible with energy. Etc. etc. Read the review at https://www.notebookcheck.net/Surface-Book-3-13-5-review-Microsoft-convertible-is-slowly-getting-old.477543.0.html - it is as if someone took your version and rewrote it into normal English for computer nerds. The translator/editor is even German. It is you lucky day. Study it; no need to ask here for people to rewrite paragraphs as all has been done already. BTW, there is no such thing as 'Windows convertible'. It is Microsoft convertible, or perhaps tablet convertible or similar. Windows is software; whereas 'convertible' is a reference to a hardware feature. The article at https://www.notebookcheck.net/Surface-Book-3-13-5-review-Microsoft-convertible-is-slowly-getting-old.477543.0.html generally knows this, but in a few paragraphs is referring to 'Windows convertible' - apparently missed by the proofreader. You make the same mistake as far as I can see.
