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 👍🏽
@checkanr1384 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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’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.

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.

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.

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.

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 😁

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...

Mmmmm my Galaxy Book S is the same thickness with double the battery life, same specs as the $1,350 SPX for $600. The SPX has an extra GPU core which ends up being a wash because it's pushing a lot more pixels. Go with the Galaxy Book S.

Very good device, but costs $1700 USD (16GB + Keyboard/Pen)... Really expensive.

I agree it is expensive but I love using mine 😁

Watching the keyboard bounce while you type on makes it look terrible.

Yes but it was very vague on the capabilities

There's one issue with your final verdict, yes this device is fine, even outstanding for a non-gamer/creative professional. but at 1700 dollars without the without the keyboard. It's a luxury most of the general public for which the device is made can't afford

Can you run Visual Studio Code on this?
@tuanle074 жыл бұрын
Yes you can. And VS Code is releasing their Arm64 version soon. For now it will run in the emulated x86 mode which is Ok but might drain the battery faster.
