The normal Surface Pro 7 is a much, much better choice.Īll in all, the device is just too expensive, given the whole host of limitations that it comes saddled with. Too expensive and too many limitations: We cannot recommend the Surface Pro X. This is why individuals who are susceptible to PWM flickering should not get the Surface Pro X. At 50% brightness and below, the panel exhibits PWM flickering with a very low frequency. However, it comes with the same limitations as the Surface Pro 7.
The 3:2 screen leaves a better impression. This is why it offers worse battery life than the Surface Pro 7. The Microsoft slate lasts 5 to 8 hours depending on the screen brightness.
However, this is not the case in practice. The battery life should have been great, because the slate features an energy-efficient ARM chip. From day one, Apple’s x86 emulation worked well and did not incur a massive performance penalty. With its impressive M1 MacBooks, Apple has shown the world what good emulation looks like. It is very disappointing that it is taking Microsoft so long to come up with a decent emulation solution. Meanwhile, Microsoft offers the Surface Pro 7 Plus with an LTE modem, which makes the device significantly more compelling. This is why we cannot recommend the Surface Pro X. The Surface Pro X could have been an exciting device, but it is not, because of severe limitations, which Microsoft has been unable to resolve thus far. The "saving" grace of poor performance, poor compatibility, and high price was meant to be the efficiency (SQ2 uses Arm Cortex A76 cores). Genuinely a disrespectful lack of battery life: worse than the Surface Pro 7, worse than the iPad, worse than the MacBook Air M1. As tested, this configuration (a 13" Windows-on-Arm tablet) is priced at $1499.
