Surface pro x 2020 review4/21/2023 ![]() Microsoft promises 15 hours of battery life. The Surface Pro X is passively cooled, which is why it is always silent (no coil whine). Here, Apple’s M1 MacBooks are a much better choice, because they offer very good x86 emulation. Nevertheless, there is still no official release date for this feature. Microsoft has been working on 64-bit emulation for a while now. However, in most cases, the Surface Pro 7 Plus with a normal x86 CPU is a significantly better choice. ![]() Those who only use Microsoft’s office programmes or do most of their work in the browser will be satisfied with the level of performance that the Surface Pro X provides. Howbeit, there are not many M.2-2230 SSDs out there. This is why we were unable to conduct many of our usual benchmarks. The slate only supports applications from the Microsoft Store and 32-bit programmes, which, in practice, can lead to severe limitations. However, the main issue is the app compatibility. Our review device uses the SQ1 SoC, which offers a very good level of performance, subjectively speaking. Microsoft offers the Surface Pro X with either the SQ1 or the somewhat more powerful SQ2 processor (both from Qualcomm). ![]() The front-facing shooter comes with a 5-MP sensor and the rear-camera features a 10-MP sensor. The two good cameras are a big strength of the Surface Pro X. However, in everyday use, the charging cable proves to be rather clunky. Moreover, it can also be used to charge the tablet (USB-C ports can also be used for charging). Microsoft’s slate offers two USB-C ports and a special Surface Connector, which can be used to connect additional accessories from Microsoft to the device. Thanks to the Snapdragon X24 modem, the Surface Pro X supports LTE. However, in day-to-day use, the slate functions very well. In our Wi-Fi test, the Microsoft Surface Pro X achieves surprisingly poor data transfer speeds. The backlit keyboard offers a short travel distance and a satisfactory typing experience. In addition, it also features a slot for the Slim Pen. The optional Alcantara keyboard doubles as a screen protector and provides good tactile feedback when typing. There is also a silver version of the slate. Our review device is the matte black variant. The kickstand on the back is really thin, and the hinge is not particularly stable.
