Surface Pro X review: heartbreaker

[@LumiRockets]

It's called the "bleeding edge" for a reason. It hurts to be first. I look forward to this high concept getting refined and filtered down to stuff like the Surface Go that doesn't focus on major productivity apps.

[@TheVerge]

I bought a Surface Go with LTE and I use it a bunch, and yeah it's just a little too slow. If Microsoft could improve app compatibility just a little bit (Chrome Edge on ARM, basically), I would basically camp outside their redmond offices until Panos Panay made an ARM Surface Go. - Dieter

I felt that way about the Surface RT. The only difference between Pro X and the RT is that Spotify didn’t work on the RT for the first year or so. RT had an amazing version of office 365 though. I don’t see anything different here. I sooooooo hope I’m wrong though

Not quite. For the user this is designed for, almost all the apps work fine, you just have to run the 32-bit version. I don't see why anyone would expect this to be a device for playing games. For my use case of something that's ultra mobile and always connected, I would love a machine like this.

[@DogsAreCoolerThanHumans]

@@MrImaWizard Yes, I know what you mean. But I really like that the Pro 7 still has a USB A Port, which I use all the time. It surely looks outdated, but the Hardware is mostly up to date and very powerfull, specially compared to the Pro X. Yes, I really hoped that the new pen / keyboard would be compatible with this device, but afterwards the Pen is not really that important I guess. The battery of the Normal Surface Pen should hold around a Year, so you really never have to worry about recharging (While I see many iPad and Apple Pencil users sticking their pen in their lightning port of the iPad in every single lecture). And the classic pen holds on very tight with the magnets, so it really is an amazing device, even without the Pen Storage in the Keyboard.

[@Katzelle3]

It would also melt and shut down in an hour.

[@DogsAreCoolerThanHumans]

You don't get it - the whole point of using ARM chips is to allow them to make such smaller devices with lower (around 4-7W) wattage versus their more power hungrier Intel counterparts (15-40w). It's different architectures for different scenarios, and don't even intend to argue about keeping it simple with an Intel because trust me: it's not THAT simple (Computer Scientist here)... The world would be such a different place if ARM went mainstream.

Exactly. This is a step in the WRONG direction. Microsoft seems to forget their past mistakes. This reminds me of the Surface RT. Remember when that was supposed to be the flagship device? Just about everyone rejected that and went for the afterthought Surface Pro. A billion dollar write-down later the Surface Pro is the success story. Now MS releases this silly ARM based, watered down experience. I’m sure come October 2020 MS will release the Surface Pro 8 with the Surface X form factor but with REAL intel and/or AMD internals.

iPad M1 is an ARM chip-based tablet. This M1 tablet beats any intel-based tablet by a wide margin. MS is correct to use ARM processors in surface Pro X and beyond to anticipate the future.

The surface Pro 7 runs great and with the i7 I can even run games like Battlefront 2 in low settings and low res in 60FPS - the games don’t look great that way but for on the go It really still is fun and makes me think IF I return it I‘d get the surface book 2....too bad that thing is outdated and a new one is expected to be released any time soon...

[@LzysGraphics]

"if you just need Office, and email, and Spotify, and Netflix and whatever, this thing is great". Is almost definitely a true statement, sadly, a Chrome OS device would do the trick just fine at a much lower price point, not to mention the plethora of Windows 10 devices, Surface Pro 7 etc., which are much more powerful and therefore be much more versatile and capable than the X.

I preordered a Pro X (arrives tomorrow) I did get to play around with a model at my local Best Buy and I came away impressed. Naturally, its all about what you use your machine for and your expectations. For me, I love the LTE inclusion so that I don't have to pair my laptop with my phone or hunt for WiFi in a pinch. If I am candid about my typical use, it is Office apps (Outlook + Word), web browsing, playing music...and that's about all. Can I appreciate why folks would want more power for their $1200 investment? Sure. But this is about portability, always on (LTE) and a familiar ecosystem/OS to work with. For me, the sleek form factor, ability to easily connect to my peripherals at home via the Surface Dock and the LTE is what sold me. Sure, I could get a more powerful machine, but then I give up the LTE and form factor.

@@SamBao Linux =/= Android Android apps run on on top of another program, kinda like how web apps run on top of Chrome.

@@Katzelle3 yes you cannot directly run android apps in Linux, that's why I said Microsoft needs to bridge the gap to do so
