While we applaud the Surface Pro X for its slick and refined, thin and light design, and comfy typing experience, the Surface Pro X is difficult to recommend for most people. It ends up being an ideal device for a very small group of users, thanks to the lack of a headphone jack and no support for a variety of apps.
Slick, refined design; Comfortable typing; Super thin and light;
No headphone jack; Basic performance for price; Just OK battery life
With the Surface Pro X, Microsoft has created a forward-thinking device that’s ahead of its time – but this isn't a good thing. While the Microsoft SQ1 ARM processor enables slightly improved battery life and facilitates the slimmer design, the device is hamstrung by consequential performance and compatibility issues. The Surface Pro X may well be what the future looks like for Surface devices and 2-in-1s across the board, but we're some way off right now.
One of the best looking devices we've tested yet; Ultra-portable design; Decent battery life;
Compatibility issues; Poor value for performance; Fingerprint magnet; Disappointing Signature Type Cover;
No matter your budget, kind of name-brand tablet PC is in your reach. For tens of dollars, Amazon will sell binge watchers and email checkers a Fire HD. Big spenders and digital artists might gravitate toward an Apple iPad Pro. And for bleeding-edge dwellers, there's the new Microsoft Surface Pro X. (It starts at $999, in the configuration we're looking at here.) It's a candidate for the best-looking pure Windows 10 tablet ever, as sleek as the iPad Pro. And thanks to its custom, unique ARM-based processor, the Surface Pro X is whisper-quiet and features long battery life. All those high points, though, can't offset some key flaws: It suffers from occasional sluggishness and—crucially—software incompatibilities and nuances that buyers will have to navigate. It's fine for basic use but a poor value, appealing mostly to Surface superfans willing to work within its limitations. Microsoft's own Surface Pro 7 is a better bet. Tablet as Eye Candy In its most basic form, the Surface ...
The Pro X is a well-designed Windows tablet that will thrill Microsoft's Surface superfans, but its cost and app-compatibility caveats throttle its aim to be a go-anywhere, do-anything PC.

Great if all you are going to do is surf Net from random places does not run 2 of the critical bits of software i bought it with hope of using because processor is an ARM chip that runs in a sort of half compatible mode that is not fully compatible with standard CPU so for me is Just a Toy - should have Bought 2 Surface laptops rather than one surface laptop and this Unit - yes can put a Sim Chip in and Go Online with 4G when no Wifi which to be Honest is so rare now that do not Have Wifi access not really a function worth having - Touch screen Good and with pop on cover keyboard it can function like a very badly designed laptop - that...view more
Did not realise when I bought it that having ARM chip basically means that if it is not already installed at time of purchase assume you cannot install it .Great if you are going to run the standard office programs which it does very well .
