Microsoft Surface Pro X Review - 6 Months Later

[@Tech_Zilla]

What do you think of the Surface Pro X ? I have really been enjoying this device for several months and it really has been created for the average consumer, let me know in the comments below your thoughts 👍🏽

[@checkanr138]

i dont like these microsoft devices because they lack repairability to an extent which is just ridiculous. glued together on purpose so if any little thing breaks you absolutely can not fix this device. in times of global warming, pollution and destruction of nature due to ressource mining and overcrowded landfills in africa such a corporate behaviour to make repairs impossible is completely irresponsible. i only buy laptops and notebooks where it is possible to open the device without completely destroying it. dont come with the argument that it is not possible, due to the small form factor. ifixit has several videos that give the surface line 0/10 repairability and show how they glue everything together. you simply cant repair these devices. on the contrary there is many devices like the new samsung galaxy flex, hp spectre, dell xps, which you can open to at least replace the SSD and repair parts if needed.

[@jiajane268]

Hi, this is Jane, i sent an email to you about the review with your ID: Ram Heer, pls check it asap, and looking forward to your timely reply. Thank you in advance.

[@warblo]

I really enjoyed this review. It's pretty much spot on with honesty!

[@MrBubbahuff85]

I'm disappointed that this was basically just a review of specs and didn't offer any useful opinion on what the last 6 months looked like or the future of the pro x. Most of what you said was off of a spec sheet.

[@jasonlaughton7590]

Tech zilla so is the surface pro x amazing machine

[@773soccer]

Finally, a reviewer who doesn't think everyone needs to use photoshop and adobe on every device

[@PicmipPixel]

Nor anything that's close to a full fledge software... and how it was build to be used... -_-

[@peterbarrett5496]

Lol ya they always complaining it’s not good for editing KZbin videos, it’s like dude, I’m a lurker, I dgaf

[@sloppynyuszi]

Yeah, but a lot of creators would like that form factor, and for that price why not have some extra expectations? To be honest, for my creative needs on the go, the iPad Pro is better than this. And if I wasn’t I would get the entry level MacBook Air.

[@arkhamnights]

@@sloppynyuszi i think they have a line for that, the surface pro 7 or the surfave book. This is think is just meant for people who arent looking to edit videos or do hardcore gaming...which is the vast majority of people.

[@4everzapy]

@@arkhamnights It is intended for people who need to spend 1200 dollars on a notebook that is not very powerful, but that does less things than a tablet, to be able to surf the internet and occasionally read emails , which is the vast majority of people

[@slavenfigures9630]

Thank you for the summary. Almost every reviewer on KZbin compares every damn device to their video editing machines. Most of us use our machines for office, web browsing, and some analysis.

[@mithelen]

Do you need to spend £1000 for that?

[@Alex-mu3gf]

@jdouglas8585 you are forgetting that it has a full fledged windows 10. It's a full laptop operating system and it can run games, full Microsoft office, almost all 32 bit apps and in a month or so 64bit apps as well. It's amazing also for hand writing and recording lectures, presentations and as an overall tablet experience with it's amazing battery life.

[@Alex-mu3gf]

@jdouglas8585 sorry that comment was to onii-chan's

[@trailrider6844]

I build website and do database management and my Surface Pro 3 does everything perfectly up to this day. So imagine how good the pro x is.

[@g.isaiahchappelle2178]

An excellent, intelligent review. Most reviewers don't get it. They look at it like if you buy an expensive Lexus LC500 and because of the price, it should also do the work of a Toyota Landcruiser! I upgraded from the Surface Go LTE, a machine I loved, and I don't regret it. The connectivity is phenomenal and the bigger screen most welcome. I now even watch movies on the ProX! (Your next review should be directed to other reviewers: How to present an objective review). Thanks again.

[@yiyinyu9679]

Thank you! Most of the KZbin reviewers don’t understand their use case scenario is not the same as the majority. I am a software developer, I don’t need my computer to handle 4K video editing, I just need it to be able to run VS Code, Docker, and a modern browser. If it also happens to have a good screen (NOT 16:9, good colour, higher res than FHD, bright), light, good battery life, it would become my choice of laptop/computing device.

[@4everzapy]

Exactly, between a machine that allows me to edit videos in 4k and another that can barely run word without problems, I prefer the second option, although I have to pay much more for it

[@asmith5392]

I appreciate the honest, great review. But mentioning that it uses an arm processor is kind of a big deal. It straight up cant run some third party applications.

[@cjjuszczak]

not to mention running non-ARM applications means code emulation (Windows on Windows64- "WoW") meaning performance and battery life tank. E.G. only Microsoft Edge browser is compiled to run natively on the Windows-on-ARM device , running any other browser, like Chrome, means it will be slower, and consume more battery life. For a device released last year, the native application library is pathetic.

[@mahmoud1737]

for that u can buy surface go 2 core m3 or surface pro 7 but less battery life slightly warmer

[@adamgrocott8901]

I know this video is 7 months old, but I've finally got around to making the dive and getting myself a pro x. This video was the best and most honest review I've seen. Thank you Tech Zilla

[@hammtweezy2192]

Awesome review, how you don't have more views is beyond me. I really like how pointed out the purpose of the device and who its targeted at. I've been seeing the it can't play AAA games and professionally edit video/photos in a majority of them, with the reviewer's then concluding that they can't recommend it. Ridiculous if you ask me... A general PC user. I daily a Surface Go and successfully use office, create pdf docs, word, watch videos, use browser apps in the new Edgium browser(absolutely awesome function), and have actually created a simple 1080p video on YT of gaming. I used a simple movie editor app from the windows store and it worked flawlessly. All I heard from reviewers was it can't use Adobe premier so forget it.

[@TNB23]

Bro yes you need more views. KZbin algorithm isn’t doing enough to recommend your channel! Loving the content

[@Montpbm7]

By far the best review for this device ever. I agree 100% with everything you said. Especially about the tech reviewers not knowing what this device is for.

[@JasonPurkiss]

all most had me but sadly i spend my life on visual studio and the pro x just wont be my best friend :(

[@thetruq4857]

I'm a developer as well, and VS serves as my coding environment. I've had one of these for about 7 months now, and it has been a great device. VS Code has just been ARM'd and I basically RDP into a workstation for serious dev work. I found that the battery life and connectivity made the SPX an optimal device, even though I thought it wouldn't be.

[@closedaccount7072]

Hi great video ty. What are the benefits of having a sim in the device aside from it constantly syncing? Weighing up whether I should get one.

[@Tech_Zilla]

The benefits are that you can always access your online files, communication, emails, media etc and it’s more secure than using a public WiFi hotspot.

[@IanBetteridge]

I’ve had mine since it first came out, and I really like it. Now I should add: I’m largely a macOS/iOS person. I’m typing this on my 12.9in iPad Pro. But the Surface Pro X is a really good device, and an excellent design. The only issue I have is that I have short legs (I’m 5’8) and so when I’m using it in the lap my choice is basically either it’s at a very vertical angle... or it slips off my knees, as the kickstand is right on the edge of my knees.

[@IanBetteridge]

jdouglas8585 When you total up everything, yes, they’re very close in price. Ask me on different days about which I prefer and you’ll probably get a different answer :) As my work is 100% based on Office 365, for work the Surface Pro X wins out. But the iPad Pro offers a better overall user experience, has a huge selection of really good games, and I find generally the Apple Pencil beats the Surface Pen (your mileage may very - that’s very much a personal choice). IPad OS has a better selection of high-quality apps overall, such as Ulysses (an amazing writing tool) and many others.

[@Abraham19Trinidad]

[@alexcheung9538]

Great review. I think most of the KZbinrs are reviewing according to their own personal need, but not seeing the need for a normal day to day user. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@TellurdogIsayhi]

I wish they would’ve made the surface pro 7 be 13 inches as well. I want a surface, but the 12.3 version is too small, and this one is just ever so slightly underpowered :/

[@commentarytalk1446]

It's simple: The Form factor is the best in the business imo. For sure some of the tech convergence is not "quite there yet" but still good/usable. The main problem is simple: Price. For the hardware, you pay too much. If MS reduced price, people would be gladly buying these and not find fault with the hardware (performance at that price). One area to continuously improve is software compatibility however. Waiting to see the new version on 22nd September. Very likely to purchase one of these for multiple use cases.

[@SandanuwanDhanushka]

Good review! Thanks! How is it in the long run after 2 years?

[@jasonlaughton7590]

Hi there I'm after or been looking at the pro x is it true that if you install or upgrade to Windows 11 you can now install 64bit software on it as before you couldn't do this

[@WW-tg5pu]

The best review of this product. Honest and fair. Other more well known reviewers should take note of how reviews should be done.

[@daelra]

Looking forward to a proper ARM based laptop. The only issue I have with the SPX is that there are limited applications for it. I'm one of those people that need the full-fat version of Excel and there's a handful of other applications that I need that just won't work on the ARM version of Windows. Maybe I just need to wait for version 2 or wait for the SP8 to maybe get that same form factor. I have to say, I've always been more comfortable with a desktop UI than a tablet one when trying to produce something. tablet UI's tend to better at more passive persuits.

[@h1a8]

1. Does it use desktop version of Word and Excel? I need to have all the advanced features. 2. Can it play some light Stream games? Like streets of rage 4? 3. Will it run Mathematica? I'm pretty sure you probably know only the answer to 1. But that's fine if you do.

[@SeeSaw99]

Very glad to have seen this review. I just picked one up at a 25% off flash sale. I had been looking to replace my surface go. Now that I'm using my Surface go more often, I'm noticing how difficult it is to type on the small keyboard. After the first few reviews I watch, I was considering returning it. But after this review, I think I'll give it a shot.

[@jonathannocon]

Totally agree... 👍🏼 I’ve had mine for almost 7 months now and I totally love it. I for one am so sick of countless of numbskull reviewers here in YT that seems to enjoy dissing this machine simply because they just don’t know and understand it’s specs. Once you get the fact that this machine is not running an ordinary intel cpu (and it’s limits with non optimised softwares) then only a totally dense fool would not enjoy this very beautiful product. I’ve gotten Adobe PS, illustrator, sketchbook pro and countless other very useful programs to work on this machine. It’s not 100% perfect just like on intel cpu units but again, if you understand it’s limits and what it can or can’t do then your all set. I’m even gonna attempt to hook up my Cintiq pro 13HD with this to see if it’s a viable solution option for portable graphics work and alike. My only gripe with this is it’s price tag 🏷 It is very pricy considering it is one of the newest MS products out there atm. If you can get the 16/256 under $1000 2nd hand or whatever. Then that’s what I’d recommend. There seems to be an abundant of ppl willing to let this unit go for a fraction of its original price so I say keep an eye for those and snag one or two if you want to make money out of it ;) Hell, I did 😁

[@ricdonaldesmilla8616]

Pardon me? You bought a 2nd hand? Where did you buy it then?

[@jonathannocon]

Yes, it runs Office 2019, 360 flawlessly 👌🏼 I purchased it from a friend of a friend. They paid retail and didn’t meet their expectations therefor was willing to let it go for $900 AUD w/pen & kb. They thought it was the 8gb/256gb variant but it was in fact the 16gb/256gb. The purchase was already finalised when I made that discovery so when I informed the seller, he was just embarrassed and just told me it was OK. Warranty is also transferable too so that’s a big plus imo. My only gripe with this is the SSD. I for one managed to track down a couple of 1gb Kioxia’s but that’s through some very fortunate events. It’s very rare and very expensive SSD brand new or otherwise. It’s so hard to spot them in the wild (eBay, Amazon, etc...) especially these days to find 512gb let alone the 1TB latest SSD. If anything, that’s what YTrz should be complaining about instead of trying to compare this to a traditional Intel CPU which is just bonkers imho. Oh and Win10 Pro 2004 x64 is also now available and works 💯 with SPX. So yeah, just so you know...
