- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- The Microsoft Surface Pro X is a beautiful 2-in-1 laptop, but with a high price tag & app compatibility issues due to the ARM processor (instead of Intel or AMD) - It's hard to recommend versus the Surface Pro 7 or even iPad Pro! Amazon US: amzn.to/2TILn7p UK: amzn.to/3cQvoLX

Hey Chaps! Looking at current pricing:
👉 Surface Pro X 256GB LTE w/ Keyboard + Pen - $1517
👉 iPad Pro 12.9" 256GB LTE w/ Keyboard + Pen: $1627
So Surface is actually cheaper than equivalent iPad - sorry for any confusion in my video! Much love x
It's not a particularly helpful comparison though. They're more different than the same.
@@Coatsey007 a good breakdown. For me any Surface Pro running a Desktop OS means I don't need to own an iPad plus Laptop. Whereas few only own an iPad. As good as they are there's a fundamental reason why a touchpad and windowed apps remain a killer combination for many.
Wright aside I'd disagree an iPad is a lot more portable than a Surface Pro. They seem about equal.
For me a Surface Pro, or Pixel Slate, will always trump an iPad or Android tablet as they have a full desktop Web browser. There isn't an app that's more important than this.
And it'll only get more crucial as Web Apps get more powerful.
For that price it's definitely noohhhhhh!!
Get what you pay for I guess, which is naff all software support 😊
@@iseptimus they both have access to thousands of compatible apps 🙄. Same with a Chromebook.
Pro X is the ultimate mobile office solution when turns into a full desktop via dock. Combined with a real workstation this offers lot more value and power then a notebook...
Hi. Great video. I got the Pro X 16 GB a week ago and I love it. Yes, it might not be a device for everyone, but for work stuff its great. One of the main reasons I decided to get the Pro x was the LTE antenna/combability. My daily work routine, well new daily routine-working from home because of the COVID 19, is mostly using Office programs such as word, power point and outlook for emails. I think its a great device for that kind of productivity and if your job required for you to be on the move. Good surface for a project manager and even a cybersecurity auditor. Cool, take care.
@Anthony Gomes Hi. For me yes, chrome works without any problems. For the most part I use Edge Canary, which is the new version of Edge.
Bought it when it first came out. Works perfect for my use. I’m able to do my class work on the go and I don’t have to bring my beast of Gaming laptop (MSI GT 75 with I9 Rtx 2080). The main benefit is the capability to use the internet on the go but main con is that the ARM software. Personally though if your not afraid of being a testing subject for the new Windows ARM system I say go ahead and buy it so we can make ARM more widely used, I truly believe this will be the future but if you want something with more support with full windows 10 experience go buy the surface 7.
See same i have the MSI S75 decked out and hate to move it around everyplace. How is the single fan on your msi holding up btw I had to replace mine already
Love the fact you are not just about apple products.. finally someone different
iPad : a tablet that trying to be a laptop
Sufrace : a laptop that trying to be a tablet
OmeRomeo by making us fool off course 😂
iPad just proved that Microsoft was going in the right direction but Apple is still doing it better than Microsoft lol
Can use it for school or college
*Insert spiderman pointing at spider man meme*
Apple tablet has a better CPU but a locked down cut down OS. I dont like iOS and the jailed walled in garden. Im not a fan of Windows 10 but hey it does alot more than iOS by far.
I've had one for a few months now and it's honestly the nicest tablet I've had. It might not be the fastest but I have a desktop for that sort of work.
Luke Patchett very much with you there!
What apps do you routinely use on it? Thanks. Looking forward to replacing my SP4 for one soon.
I think you are just convincing yourself after you made the purchase...
Be honest with us if you were looking for a tablet for watching RUclips you would have bought something way cheaper, most people would buy it mostly for creative work and surface pro 7 or even 6 was way better for you than surface pro x
Just try and replace it, they would help you as long as they won't return your money
@@AWESOME777ize calling it a tablet shows you don't even understand what it is for starters. Most people aren't Creatives so that's obviously nonsense 🙄. It's primarily designed for on the go workers but also competes with the market who buys Chromebooks. None of those are Creatives 🙄. Power users live in a bubble and think everyone is the same, when they're in the minority of laptop users.
@@bradavon I think you are right sorry to bother you with my opinion
Purchased an SPX (SQ1, 8 ram, 128 ssd) for only $623US and absolutely love it!
1. Battery life is 50% longer than my SP7 (i7, 16 ram, 256 ssd). I get over 10 hours
of continuous RUclips viewing (40% brightness, Battery saver off / BlueTooth off, Wifi on).
This is on par with my 15-inch 360x HP Spectre and its battery is twice as large.
2. The screen is bigger and brighter. I can read/watch video in a dark room with 0% brightness.
Larger screen is also great for reading/annotating PDFs.
3. It is thinner/easier to hold, so it's much better for notetaking or watching videos on your lap
than the SP7.
4. Runs all my must-have work apps including Office 2019, statistical software, Zoom, Nebo,
Snapdrop, ReadAloud, and PDF apps. The only "nice to have" apps I can't run so far are
BatteryBar and Throttlestop (which has a 32-bit version)
5. SQ2 chipset is same as Intel 8th gen i5 processes
6. Charges much faster than my SP7
7. Has a Sim Card slot
8 Keyboard is very cheap on Amazon
9. SP7 pen works on SPX
Negatives are:
1. No USB-A (dongle life)
2. No microSD slot
3. MS's 64-bit emulator greatly reduces battery life (which is why I haven't downloaded yet)
Finally, I don't edit videos, edit photos, or play games. The SPX was not designed for these hobbies, it was designed for white-collar professionals and traveling business folks.
Have you tried basic RUclips video editing and photoshop? Is it slow?
I have the Pro X and love it. It is my one and only PC. It is considerably cheaper than the iPad Pro with LTE, Pencil and Smart Keyboard. It is also way more useful than an iPad. It has been on sale for the last month on the Microsoft store $200-$300 off. I got mine on sale and totally worth it. The LTE is what really sold it for me.
Please what the best ?
Facts, I agree 100%
I have the pro 7 now and it’s amazing! Bezels could be smaller but USB-C is great.
I love my Surface Pro X for work and media consumption :)
Same here
Does it run Photoshop and other adobe apps alright? Any noticable general hiccups or slowdowns? Really considering this!
Karim Zahr Eddin I cant answer re: Adobe apps, but I use Microsoft apps, Edge Canary browser, etc and it hasn’t slowed at all. It’s definitely more of a laptop than a tablet, but this thing is a productivity beast (as long as the apps that you need will run on it).
@@alexholland8 what about RUclips video editing? Is it slow?
This makes my decision so much easier. Surface pro 7 it is. Thanks
Thanks for the video! The Surface Pro X best suites me because of the LTE option that helps me work-on-the-go and most importantly as a small business owner most of accounting softwares that we use here in India, work only on a windows OS and are not compatible with iOS. Therefore, a better pick for me.
3:42 - The way you have your camera set up on that tripod is giving my anxiety...
Haha, don't worry, it is not just balancing there, it is sat on a little arm which is connected to the tripod securely so it isn't going to fall off and hit the ground any time soon, he does however have to be careful with the camera's lens though as the centre of gravity is brought forward significantly, enough for the tripod to fall over if he knocks it.
We can take into consideration ARM-based 2in1 when:
- Windows 10 X will be launched
- we will actually see developers ship apps also for ARM
- we will have a decent option in the 449-699€ price range
Or they can just require ARM devices support both x86 and x64. Which means they have to pay AMD for x64 licensing instead of pocketing the change.
Windows 10X and Windows on ARM are different things. For one thing as it currently stands on Windows 10X runs apps in full screen.
Alex McCaffrey I know. I’m thinking ahead. Next version of windows on arm.
@@NicolaMastrandrea fair enough. For me both Windows on ARM and Windows 10X are exciting.
@@NicolaMastrandrea oh yeah I forgot at the moment Windows 10X is Intel only. As weird as that sounds.
I looked at how many windows you had open on the Surface Pro X at one and honestly, that's more than my Surface Pro 7 i7 can handle...
Fantastic video, subscribed! I am using one of these over my iPad Pro for the following reasons. I am a musician first and foremost and need a device which has at least a 12.9 - 13 inch screen that works in tablet form for reading/editing scores/practise/concerts. This means that the regular Surface Pro is a bit too small. I also like to have a device that can run a full browser and work properly with a mouse, multi-task in a desktop like manner for the rest of my admin and creative work when on the go. Run full office etc. An iPad can do this to a reasonable degree now but I still get too frustrated with certain aspects. I would tend to still carry a laptop around with me when needing to do specific tasks, now I don't have to. On a small note I also prefer the pen to Apple's pencil. Finally it is also of course a beautiful device for consuming media, like your videos! I enjoy watching RUclips far more on it due to no restrictions on resolution like Apple has. Netflix etc, all looks amazing. The built in stand is brilliant where'as I have of course to have some kind of case attached to the iPad to be able to prop it up. Overall, this is expensive but the combination of factors finally mean I can carry just one device around. So it suits someone doing my work perfectly. I very much appreciate though that the majority of people will find its' limitations restricting. iPad making its' way to eBay :-)
Yes, agree, this will find a place in a niche market where you are OK with limited access to apps. I thought more of a secondary device, but it seems suited to your user needs. For me, it still disappoints, the battery life is the main selling point of this and my Qualcomm Yoga from 2018 has twice the battery life of the Surface Pro X running WOA. That cost only £500 and I did not have to buy a keyboard, and the pen was free!!! That saved me £800 which I could buy an iPad Pro with. You see my point? You are paying a lot for the MS logo and "cool" design.
@@andyH_England Yes I see your point. My problem with that device would be the resolution (I understand it is 1920x1080), for reading scores with very small details and markings I need something fairly high. Also I don't like holding something with a keyboard folded behind my fingers in tablet mode, much better to have something that detaches. I am fairly niche though. Having one device to cover all is really worth it for me carrying round a heavy instrument alongside etc. One does pay plenty for the logo......design worth it though, but hard to justify perhaps in most cases.....
It was love at first sight upon the announcement of this device. Once its specifications were reveiled, though, it was crystal clear to me that the Surface Pro 7 (which I currently own) was the "safest" choice...
Great review as always! By the way 💻❤️
How is the battery life with surfing, not taking and reading?
When he mentioned the processor not being able to the apps i basically run on my laptop is a turnoff
I ordered the 256GB LTE 16GB.. This product is not designed for Adobe.. Come on folks.. This is device is designed for the business world.. You do know that there is a whole professional workflow that have actual real job descriptions and not self created "content creators" job descriptions.
Would you recommend this for college students (stem majors, transferring to med school)
@@mohamedaleid2 Yes
Microsoft should work on the App store
That's the point with Microsoft's Windows, you are not bound to the store like on Apple product. You have a choice to choose where you're gonna purchase the apps. In other words, you have competition while Apple has a monopoly and can put whatever price and fees it wants. Also, you can upgrade and repair your device, Apple on the other hand only offers motherboard replacement with all the components, which is in most cases twice the price of an actual device.
The value just isn't there.....but it's so damn beautiful it compels one to wanna buy it anyway 😫😄😖
Great video, thanks! What is the name of the desk mat you’re using? I like it a lot!
One thing though; ARM processors aren't inherently slower than x86 or other CISC processors, in fact with the modern ARM chips they are A LOT faster than x86 processors. The problem in Windows for ARM is emulation, emulation is super taxing on resources and thus your experience is that of a slower chips on emulated programs; but if people develop ARM versions of their x86 counterparts it wouldn't surprise me if they performed better.
Thanks for this video. I think you cleared up some questions I had about which to buy.
I've owned the SP3, 4, and 5. I must say this is the best one for my use case -- Office, browsing, media consumption. Instant on, longer battery life, and the fantastic screen are really great. For the other things I do like video/photo editing, 3D modeling, etc. I use my desktop. I figure it can only get better when more native ARM64 apps come out.
Great video and I learned so much!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Is Microsoft planning more ARM64 native software for the Pro X ?
I picked up a Surface Pro 7 for work the other day, but haven't gotten it out of the box yet, partly because I had been contemplating taking it back for the Surface Pro X, just because I think the Surface lineup looks a little dated outside of the new Surface X. But, with the details you had been mentioning like not all apps being compatible or needing an emulator. For me, I was going to primarily use it for work, which means web browsing and Microsoft Apps mostly, but down the road, I don't know, I need a device that is more future proof. Great video as always, and you just solidified my first choice in buying the Surface Pro 7. Thanks.
Hello ,I want to ask that does the surface pro X works smoothly when using touchscreen as a tablet like a high end premium tablet or does it often lags?
Looks so beautiful. Wish it had an Intel processor.
ARM will be better in the long-term
wtf
u got an intel surface
smh
What about the Galaxy Book S? Would it be a good buy if one is looking for something ultra portable and connected? I'm torn between the Galaxy Book S and the current MacBook Air
Thank you for let me decide on surface pro x....
Best buy from Microsoft....Love this device .....For usability I needed..
Thanks for a very good clearly explained review.
Excellent review. Very impressive. Great job! Thanks.
Has anyone bought this in the past month or so? Curious if anyone uses it for 3d design (designing 3d models of houses basically, floorplans, etc.) and how it would handle that task. I really hope microsoft updates the pro 8 to this small bezel design. I just sold my 12.9 ipad pro and would LOVE a full computer with the design of the pro x.
I am confused between Ipad 2020 & surface pro X.
I have Hp spectr for work as all my work goes on windows. Never bought an ipad so thinking for that-Fully Entrainment purpose.
16GB RAM and 512BG storage - £1,819. Ridiculous.
I love it. no bad coments about it, it has really good perfomance
Can it work as a drawing tablet for a PC using Miracast or something else?
You can absolutely, but might be wasted money spent, may be better off getting a Wacom tablet.
Thanks, cool review, but one question will the pro7 keyboard work with the Prox ?
Is this something that is good for using game engines like Unity, blender other than photoshop, autodesk?
I've been trying to find a laptop to use for college and that be the best for business students. I was considering getting this one. Does anyone recommend any other laptops or would this be a good option? Thanks so much!
That’s my question too!
I am thinking of upgrading my surface go. I am not going to use any high performance apps but pro 7 has better i/o than x.
Really excited about the future of this product but needs developers to make more offline entertainment options to catch up to iPads. Full capabilities of Office is awesome!
I got an Dell xps for coding sql et. and a Surface pro X for One Note and office :)
If only they have added Android/Play Store compatibility... It wouldn't have as much restriction by switching from x86 to ARM.
Hi, I'm new to your channel, I love your reviews, do you still using the microsoft x or 7 pro?
Can I buy it for a cheaper price? I really need it, it's too rare to find one here in the philippines I can't afford a brand new. Looking forward to your reply
If you don't Game or use Adobe apps this thing flies. I wouldn't know mine didn't have an Intel processor if I didn't know better. I'm absolutely thrilled with mine. Incredible display. Reviewers are all media creators, they've all come to ARM devices with a heavy level of bias. I'd happily recommend this to almost anyone.
I had mine for over a year now and I still love it and does exactly what I want as I don't game either. I have found with windows 11 the tablet mode of it is so much better and I create apps using Microsoft edge. I just hate how accessories are so expensive, I have been wanting to buy the Brydge keyboard for it.
Probably the spec is not enough for those who work with image and video heavily, but for a mere note taking, spreadsheet, documents and presentation, web app programming, browsing and running web-based apps, would you think it has sufficient processing power?
Sure the ipad pro is nice and all but can it get those pc apps? No.
Brother when will acer swift 3 13.5 inch 3:2 version 2020 be coming..any idea of it ?
I'm waiting for that too.
Most RUclipsrs seem to be really bad at reviewing devices thst we're not made for them... '' who was this device made for" You answered your own question just before asking it when you revealed thst it offers always on LTE. This device is for office workers that are constantly on the go and need a machine for office work and we browsing thst can always be connected. And no the ipad pro is definitely not better value of than this. Once you choose the 128 gb version of the iPad Pro it looses its price advantage, not to mention that its keyboard is horrible in comparison and it's kickstand only offers 2 positions and can only be used with the crappy keyboard.
Big facts. I agree with everything you said. Some people just can't understand what this device was made for.
Surface pro x sq1 is very suitable for web search , working with office , reading , online social activities and medium volume applications. Because windows is better pilot for apps to iOS, so surface for regular and medium works is better
I expect mine to arrive tomorrow (or the day after) and honestly? I don't consider the other options to be valid alternatives for me. I don't want anything from Apple because my main environment is Windows based (my desktop runs Win10 Pro and my servers run FreeBSD & OpenBSD with full Windows compatibility (powered by Samba & Mono)). I prefer the X because it's very lightweight, has a good battery life and the "embedded" pencil is plain out brilliant for office work, especially while on the road. What's also important is not to underestimate all the things which you can already do using only Windows 10 on its own.
So for tasks like data analysis, document / report writing, presentations, maintaining schedules & todos, video conferencing while also staying connected (= online) I don't think other devices will perform much better. Not to mention that not being able to dump tons of non-work related software onto this can also be considered a huge pro ;)
All in all I think this gizmo will be ideal for me.
Why do all reviewers seem to judge devices by photo or video editing workloads?
It's like they live in this weird creator bubble and have no concept that maybe for the people the product is aimed at, all they want to do is be able to use the internet, watch videos, access their emails, photos etc, ms office, take notes, doodle 99.8% of the time.
Basically like a computer but in tablet form, so the one time a year they might want to edit a photo, the extra 5 mins doesn't really matter.
The massive caveat is there seems to be an awfully high premium for what it is. That said it's only about the same as the larger iPad pro, but that has the usual Apple-tax on it.
I get what you're saying. But every laptop can do those things. Main areas that they can start to struggle is with these workloads
So my understanding is that you register this essentially as another phone on your plan in order to utilize the LTE. I am not interested in doing that, but I love the feel of this laptop and the wider screen. My question is: can I buy it and simply never register it and only use it on wifi like a normal laptop? I don't understand why the largest screen for the other surfaces are only 12.5 inches...
Hopefully, ARM will be taken as a much more serious platform, especially with Apple ditching Intel.
Just got a surface pro x … this video is great. I haven’t had any hiccups with it yet but I haven’t tried the big boy programs on it. I am mostly using it for music recording kinda on the go… a mobile recording setup if you will. Logic is the program I will be using with the FocusRite DAW… if anyone has any tips or experience with this please let me know. For inquisitive readers , I was gifted this machine … I wasn’t shopping for a new laptop etc and got this on purpose. Thanks a lot!!!
i have bought surface pro x and i am very happy for it
The pro x is the only windows based tablet that I found that has 4g LTE. With a stylus made for it.
There are old and older new and newer ya know
Was waiting on this review. I've been intrigued by this and the Samsung Galaxy book S. Their portability, LTE and battery life really make them worth considering. But I agree that right now app compatibility is a big problem and these are not cheap devices, and not sure they would suffice as my only computer (outside of my phone). Of the three Id go with the SP7 for productivity and to run my small business, but the iPad if it was just for personal use.
I think I may be purchasing this as long as Microsoft apps work then that's all good for me for me to upgrade from the 2018 surface go, great review 👍
So what’s even the point for their ARM processor? The 7 still has the Intel processors why didn’t they make that an option?
Is this worth to buy for video editing?
I got the iPad pro and Surface pro X, and the surface is much better
ok thanks I quickly figured out it wasn't for me...something not mentioned on their website about compatibility issues.
I there I want to buy a tablet and I liked de surface pro xa lot .
If I used for working on Microsoft office and for movies and series on Netflix , social media it is a great or right choice?
Thank you .
If I buy the pen or any new surface pro pen, Will it work and automatically opens note's sticky note or whiteboard when you press the pen? For my surface pro 4 by the way.
Very good video interview thank you so much
Watching this on my Surface Pro 6. Trying to decide if I need to upgrade.
This uses Arm processor just like Apple silicon???
The best of microsoft! buts it should have been much cheaper like 699$ cheaper
Does it run Photoshop and other adobe apps alright? Any noticable general hiccups or slowdowns? Really considering this!
If you watch the video the answer is a definite no but maybe some time in the future.
I got mine last week for $530 at best buy in an excellent condition, Im loving it 🥳
Hell no, so lucky
Can you hook up the iPad to a docking station and enjoy a full desktop experience on an external monitor and use things like RDP with USB passthrough? No? Then it's not the same use case. This is trying to bridge the gap in professional use, not casual, though it likely can play fruit ninja all the same.
Can you run Android and Android apps on this natively?
If this was an Android tablet, wouldn't this be the best Android tablet in the market?
The Surface Pro X is for people who want a 12.9 inch iPad Pro, but don't like Apple products.
(I prefer Windows and Android. The Surface Pro X is perfect for me.)
Facts. People don't seem to understand that for some reason. I love my Surface Pro X any day over any iPad
Very nice review! For the sake of fairness, did you fact check that iPad Pro “for a lot less money” thing? Wasn’t the case in continental Europe last time I checked. Maybe it’s a UK thing. Unless you are comparing to the 64GB-only 11 inch iPad without LTE, which you really should not.
That's the wrong iPad Pro (should've been the 12.9) to compare with, and so it is the wrong price comparison.
I don't understand by Microsoft kept those giant bezels on the Pro 7 and Book 3. They can make them thinner. Exhibit A: Pro X
Honestly, I just bought an M1 iPad Pro LTE and remotely access my home PC if I’m on the go. I think that’s the solution if you were looking for a high-tech Window’s device while traveling. I’ve had no hiccups and it works perfectly. My full-time job requires me to use DaVinci Resolve, and though iPad OS doesn’t support that, I remotely access my work PC from the iPad and edit wherever I want. Pretty convenient, and way cheaper.
Not sure how you can expect it to run premier pro to be honest. Wouldn't see it as a negative that you can't
So what you are saying is that the pro x is great for school work?
Both the laptops are amazing but surface pro x is the best according to my opinion
Thanks for a great review. It helped me decide not to go with the pro x
Me too
Same
Do you guys prefer this over ipad pro when it comes to photoshop and illustrator ?
can i also connect my PC to this so i can use it as a drawing screen? please help out
should i go with Pro X or Pro 7?
Hi I have purchase surface pro 6 but its display is very bad. it is giving me lots of pain in eye and watering while using. I have given lots of complain but Microsoft did not replace service is very bad. Now I have filed in consumer court for recovery of damage
You got a sub @The Tech Chap
Tech Chap looking like a snack
I wanna have his babies
I'm looking for a reliable tablet predominantly used in portrait mode for reading. It seems like this tablet it mainly designed to be laptop/tablet compatible in landscape-mode. Does this tablet have equally compatible portrait-mode accessibility, or does it only work best in landscape-mode?
It's like other Surface tablets, it will work fine in portrait mode. The smaller Surface Go is easier to hold in portrait with one hand whereas the much larger Pro 7 and Pro X can be a handful. You can enable tablet mode in Windows to get larger touch UI in some apps or just increase display scaling to 150%.
Is it good for Gaming?
When you'll do full review of the new 2020 Huawei MateBook X Pro ?
Soon!
I have a Lenovo C630 which is good but its kinda heavy in my bag when i take it on the go. I now have a mini pc that i mostly use so theres really no reason for me to have a laptop and im thinking about just getting a tablet/laptop. I thought about getting an X before the Lenovo but at the time it was just cheaper to get the laptop. Now im kinda stuck on whether or not to get it and sell my laptop
Why do people complain on the price of a computer when people pay that much on a smartphone ? And How can you compare a PC with an iPad Pro ? and iPad Pro is not a real computer it’s just a oversize ” phone “ with your apps from the store versus a real computer. $1,500 for a Apple tablet with the keyboard and pen !!! Hell no ! The X is way less with the pen and keyboard included if you get the bundle $1,100 (entry level )
Is the type cover or Pro X compatible with other Pro models (Pro6)?
Ugh ... While I am loving the slim chasis and pen storage, it looks like I will be waiting for more improvements on the Pro X's performance and compatibility. I certainly want it to support 64-bit before I commit. Hopefully my current edlerly surface will hold up. LOL
Is this good for using Citrix ? Program
Any advantage to moving from an iPad Pro 2018 to this when I am moving over to Windows laptops?
No no no ! Not this one !
You basically try to move from the best and well polished ARM chip to the lower one with poor optimization. If you want Windows buy the Pro 7.
