Its touchpad is larger and just as precise. The Surface Book 3 has a more conventional keyboard with deep travel and its own snappy mechanism, with better key spacing and a more solid feel when typing.

Adding the optional $180 Signature Type Cover keyboard will add some weight and thickness, but it’s still much thinner and lighter than the Surface Book 3 and, in fact, rivals the iPad Pro.

Naturally, the Surface Pro 8 is the smaller device, coming in at 0.37 inches thick and 1.96 pounds for the tablet alone.
