Windows Hello works swiftly and reliably to log you in, and thanks to the bundled fast charger a 30-minute charge will boost the battery by around 35% – just about enough for half a day’s work. It offers an always-on, phone-like experience and LTE means you’ll get emails and notifications even when out of Wi-Fi range. While the 2019 Surface Pro X features the 7W Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-core Microsoft SQ1 with a clock speed of 3.00 GHz.


If you don’t find any dealbreakers when checking through your app list, then the Surface Pro X could be exactly what you’re looking for. The 2014 Surface Pro 3 features the 11.5W 4th Generation Intel Haswell dual-core Intel Core i3-4020Y up to dual-core Intel Core i7-4650U with the boost speed up to 3.30 GHz. So, it will really depend upon what you want or need to do that will determine if a Surface Pro X is right for you. So you might want to use Microsoft’s latest Edge browser instead of Google Chrome. This means there’s also a penalty in battery life: run exclusively older x86 Windows apps and you’ll see around seven hours of battery life instead of the circa 10-12 hours you’ll get when running apps optimised for ARM. But you will notice that traditional Windows apps aren’t as snappy as running native ARM64 apps because 32-bit x86 apps is done using an emulation mode. The entry-level Surface Pro X starts at 999 with Microsofts older SQ1 processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of. You’d be right to expect great performance given what the Pro X costs, but this is another sticking point. The Surface Pro X is scheduled to arrive on Oct.
