Most ARM processors are around 2W of power, this is actually a combined 7W SOC, for both the CPU and GPU. The hardware inside the Surface Pro X is a mixed-venture between Qualcomm and Microsoft, the SQ1 chipset. Let’s wait for the reviews before drawing conclusions, though. That means the Pro X is most likely not going to be as versatile as an updated Surface Pro 7, for instance, and not even as powerful for that matter in demanding loads. worked fine, a fair bit of specific x86 software did not. We’ve reviewed Windows+ARM devices in the past, and while the basics like browsing, email, movies, etc. That doesn’t account for potential software support issues. The early impressions suggest it’s snappy and smooth, and Microsoft claims there’s no major difference between this Pro X and a regular x86 based computer, thanks to the capable hardware chip inside. Of course, the big question is how will the Surface Pro X perform with daily use. There’s also no headphone jack, so you’ll need Bluetooth headphones instead. There’s also the Surface Connect port, which suggests this will most likely not be able to charge via SUB-C, but much like with any other modern phone and tablet, it does support quick-charging.

The Pro X also gets decent IO for a device of its size, with two USB-C 3.2 slots on the left-hand side of the device, with support for transfer and video. According to Microsoft, this pen should also have improved latency, pressure sensitivity (4096 points of pressure) and overall a better feel than most other digital pens out there. It also integrates with the software, as a whiteboard launches automatically when you pull it up. It’s flat in shape, unlike most of the other pens out there that are round, so I’m not sure how it will feel while taking notes and drawing for a longer time.

It’s also very slim, at only 7.3 mm, and should fit nicely in the hands thanks to its chamfered edges and rounded corners. It’s thin and compact and light, as you can tell from the video and the pictures.
