It's neither the same weight ( although close) and not the same size (it is thinner with a larger display). Close, perhaps, but pretending they're the same is incorrect.
It does seem like choosing between this and the Surface Pro 7 could be a little difficult... I think this thing looks great, but I really think that you're going to get more bang for your buck with the Surface Pro 7.... My wife and I have a Surface Pro and a Surface Go and we LOVE them.... having a full Windows 10 computer everywhere we go is great... We always check the Microsoft Store for any software first, and even strongly consider if we can get by without whatever isn't in the store... we have installed a couple non-store things, but avoiding non-store stuff is going a looooong way in preserving the performance of our devices ;)
But Microsoft Office can be used on any windows 10 PC... so how is it a deal breaker? And while there are a few advantages, Surface Pro 7 is actually the better product.
Surface pro 7 in the body of surface pro x(i’m fine with the thickness of the 7), a thunderbolt 3 port is all i could ever ask for on a surface, This isn’t the one.
In all fairness, there are some good innovations that developed with smartphones that deserve to make their way back to more traditional devices. The action center (notification area) in Windows is a good example - much better than the old tooltip way of showing notifications in previous versions of Windows.
@@KylePetersonDmaster223 nobody is confused about why they are using it, what we're confused about is why anyone thought it wouldn't have a huge impact on battery life.
@@KylePetersonDmaster223 The new Microsoft Edge coming out on January 15 has the Chrome engine, and is built for ARM. The ideal browser for such a device.
The reason you didn't get 8 hours or more of use is because you are using chrome. Use edge's arm version and you will see a huge difference not only in batery life but also in performance. This device is perfect not only for business users but for most workers that use mainly office and a browser. Journalists, writers, managers, etc.
surface laptops have always been my favorite line of products but the way they treat warranty ruined the brand for me if you get a warranty related issue they will not repair they will just send you a worn replacement unit so even if yours is in mint condition it doesn't matter, i also didn't love the display of the surface pro but other than that i love everything about them, the x is abit round for my taste though
I have a Surface Go2, a Surface Pro 7 and now I just got a Surface Pro X 16/256 SQ1 a week ago. I love it as it runs all my applications and the LTE connectivity is great! I got it because of that. It performs as well as my Pro 7 and better than the Go2 and now I'm going to sell them both.
I run my own [successful] business and have been operating it on G Suite with a Chrome Book Pixel LS and have never looked back at legacy Operating Systems. The term "Business Users" just gets thrown around without even thinking about what business users actually do to run their business and how G Suite on a Chromebook is absolutely more than sufficient, and yes, even for Business Power Users (another term that's just thrown around). But, great video as always Mr Mobile!
Bought it and didn't regret it one second. It's super fast. Battery is awesome. It lasts at least 11 hours. I'm Really wondering what you did to suck the battery out in 6 hours. That's not possible for me. I still had no compability issues. Yes it's expensive but for someone who wants an ultraportable always on connected PC t It's IMHO the number one choice.
Mr Mobile, thank you for providing another editorially independent review that gives us the bottom line of your thoughts. I'll say it again. Thank you!!!
I've come to enjoy your reviews and appreciate the get to it black / white approach and you do a really good job of making cost a priority and impressing value and capability
Hey Michael, try primarily using Microsoft's Edge Chromium Canary build, which has 64 bit ARM support (and is due out for regular release next month I believe) or Firefox, which also has 64 bit ARM support, and let us know how your battery life has been affected. Many Surface Pro X users have noticeable gains in battery life when using only a 64 bit ARM supported browser (since it does not need to do 32 bit emulation). You may then get closer to 8 hours of battery life, possibly even more.
For consumers buy a Chromebook and a 7th generation laptop for the same cost as a Pro X and have a far superior user experience. The question is why pay more for the compromise of less? If you have disposable income as a second device then maybe, but again if you need a tablet the iPad Pro is far superior. Of course, if you are buying as it is the latest shiny new thing then it is your money, but that does not make it a sensible buy.
I think this is in itself a confused segment of products, a last generation ultrabook will have better performance, app support and similar battery life with comparable price tag. This makes sense if cellular support is must for you.
Every place I've worked for has blocked the Microsoft Store and apps from day one, so I have no idea what the hell this is going to run in an enterprise environment.
Another user category: as a student, I find Surface Pro X is god sent due to it weight, kickstand and innovative slim pen storage. Can ipad pro say that?
The processor in the Surface Pro X is more comparable to the A12X inside the iPad Pro than any smartphone SoC... except that it is much slower. Remember, folks: iPad also has a cellular option. That’s what Mr. Mobile carries.
What about using it for making and receiving calls? Can you video chat or have a video conference call without having to use Skype? Does it have a stylist pen?
I want a pro x really bad, I was very bummed to see the SQ2 update was basically just a crappy overclock. Spending 1600 bucks on something that isn’t really all that powerful is kind of a turn off. Hoping they’ll do better with the SQ3, I guess. At this point I’m either waiting for the ipad to get better software, or the surfaces to get better internals. Not sure which will happen first tbh.
I'm curious to where this might be in the next 2 years. Right now its Achilles heel is poor app support and performance with many x86 programs. This of course might change in the future.
Can please anybody explain me this Apple has made one of the best chipsets known as m1's on the basis of arm architecture. Can't microsoft do this, they have resources,their software, their own hardware. Then what's stopping them from making the best chipset for their laptops which is as optimized as Apple's m1.
You're forgetting about progressive web apps. Lots of companies offer very functional, touch friendly versions of their products. For example : twitter, Google, Microsoft, Instagram, twitch, amazon, making the tablet experience that bit more viable
I have 2 Microsoft Pro 4 and both of them have lot of problem 1. Bloated battery 2. Flickering screen 3. Overheat 4. Pen tip easily broken once fall 5. Unresponsive keyboard This device is so expensive.. But will not last long.. If u buy the docking system to constantly pair with monitors, it become worse.. Since it constantly charge the laptop.. And reduce the battery life. Better buy laptop with seperate screen from the gpu like normal laptop. The heat will damage the screen eventually. Lot option for 3 in 1 laptop now a days. Lenovo c930 for example. One more keyboard easily show wear and tear within few month. I have no problem to say this is the best laptop when it's work. But not work for many reason will cause u lot of problem. Not worth it.. But I don't know if all my problem already solve in latest model.. Hope so..
saw you posted the exact same comment in other surface videos. the Surface Pro 4 is like the Note 7 of surfaces: faulty. the only one that gave the flickering screen and other problems, apart from the pen problem that is a fragile device and you should really be careful when using it. so, I would not discourage buying a new surface just because an older model did not run well. new surface models are great.
Harry Pancake I just tether my phone. But I don’t use my laptops online when I’m on the go much. If I need to send something I just air drop it and send it from my phone
So, what I want is a "tablet" which runs Windows. (I need Windows for my android phone). Which can run heavy cpu programs. Next year im going tot be an architect student so the drawing capabilities need to great. I have a late 2015 MacBook pro wich is still running smoothly but unfortunattly no Windows. Does anyone have suggestion? Thanks in advance
It's a $1300 " laptop" that does nothing what a pc should and is inferior to a $500 smartphone in every single way. Advantage is that you can be connected via 4g in a cafe? Madafuqa a $20 smartphone can do that and still can be more "convenient" if you just want to browse the web.
I think I will regret buying it just because i am an Enterprise user. Enterprise procurement Dept does not buy fancy stuff , they instead buy durable and reliable stuff like ThinkPad. From this perspective you can realize why this ARM-powered Surface X will never be in the procurement list of Enterprise.
I don't mean this in a bad way but every time I hear you say 'Chromebook', it feels strange to here a high profile tech-tuber actually give a Chromebook some mentioning (This is coming from someone who loves chromebooks and the idea of ARM based devices that aren't phones)
the is nearly the tablet for me but no Plex on Windows store I believe jeans no Plex on this tablet. shame. big shame. inwish their competitors would build stand in which is why I'll sadly buy the lenova to in one
@@grownsimba8120 it's emulated on this Surface - so extra resource heavy - since it's not built for ARM processors (yet). New Edge is basically Chrome underneath but there is an ARM version available to use already.
Yeah, talk about a weird request. "I'd like to lose some pixels, please." No, thank you. I'd rather have the full reach of the display remain visible. Plus, frankly, rounded-corner displays just don't look as nice as a well-done sharp design aesthetic. Rounded looks too much like Play Skool or 1990s Ford interiors. The problem, if there is one, with the Surface Pro X design is that the corner of the device itself should not be quite so round, so that there's not as much contrast between the clean, sharp screen corner and the device's corner. Make the device's corner a bit sharper (not "ouch" sharp, but reduce the radius of the curve) and I think the overall look would be perfect.
@@@Mark-uk8wz Funny, I feel the opposite. CRT displays had rounded corners. When we artificially obscure the corner pixels of a liquid crystal or OLED grid to replicate the rounded corners of a CRT, the result seems retro, not modern. It's an aesthetic that reminds me of childhood: both because old-fashioned displays were round but also because so many products made for small children are soft-touch and rounded, like Play Skool toys.
Sadly, macos and windows uses different programming languages. Macos uses Objective-C for apps. Whereas most windows app developers use C#, C++, Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Swift, Red-Lang, Go, and Object Pascal when programming apps. And there is no way to translate between languages without taking tons of time.
@@Z9R. object pascal? da phuck?? also windows on arm is so bad that there's no chrome on it but the second m1 came out google made chrome for it 🤣 guess it maybe has to do with the fact that some folks at google ironically use macs
@@nerd2544 I don't think arm on windows is a bad idea. Arm is known for being very effiient and powerful. As well as not creating that much heat. It also doesn't take that much power. The only problem with it on windows is app developers know that most people have either intel (which is IA-64) and amd (which is x86-64). Hardly any windows pc runs on arm64, which makes app developers not even want to waste time making an app that hardly anyone will use. Whereas you take the M1 (Which is arm64), app developers want to create apps for it because they know there's a huge market with that processor and operating system.
@@MasterHandFinalDestination remember windows rt for the first surface pro? this is one of those experiments that ms is doing. they probably won't sell many of them but they are experimenting with things.
What's worse, Windows 10 sucks. It has tremendous overhead and poor app support. So this device is not only limited, but kneecapped by its OS. If Microsoft just... invested in improving Windows 10, it'd be great. But they don't care. *edit* To be clear, I want Microsoft to be a successful competitor to Google and other tech companies in this space. But I feel like people don't acknowledge just how rough Windows 10 is on overhead.
Please test again with Edgium (Chormium-based Edge) compiled for ARM in the future, if possible and see the battery life impact! And... Keep the great work!
Michael, you forgot to mention the pen slot 😅. You can put the slim pen in the keyboard (slot accessed by pulling the keyboard forward) which also charges it via wireless charging.

The only problem with it on windows is app developers know that most people have either intel (which is IA-64) and amd (which is x86-64). Hardly any windows pc runs on arm64, which makes app developers not even want to waste time making an app that hardly anyone will use. Whereas you take the M1 (Which is arm64), app developers want to create apps for it because they know there's a huge market with that processor and operating system.
Dafuq is wrong with mike's profil picture?
Im not the only one that has noticed that?
a lot of UA-camrs pfps are messed up, just look at for example mumbo jumbo's profile picture, he has the default one now for no reason
Imagine being PC and not being able to run PC apps
Imagine getting an iPad instead of this will save you a lot of headache.
@@MasterHandFinalDestination I rather have a fully fledged desktop os
@@sathya5057 but it's not one.
@@MasterHandFinalDestination remember windows rt for the first surface pro? this is one of those experiments that ms is doing. they probably won't sell many of them but they are experimenting with things.
What's worse, Windows 10 sucks. It has tremendous overhead and poor app support. So this device is not only limited, but kneecapped by its OS.
If Microsoft just... invested in improving Windows 10, it'd be great.
But they don't care.
*edit* To be clear, I want Microsoft to be a successful competitor to Google and other tech companies in this space.
But I feel like people don't acknowledge just how rough Windows 10 is on overhead.
Please test again with Edgium (Chormium-based Edge) compiled for ARM in the future, if possible and see the battery life impact!
And... Keep the great work!
What happened to your profile picture?
I thought it's only me who noticed that. Hehe
Exactly?
Mumbo jumbo a minecraft youtuber also had something similar happen lately
Looks like it got disabled or something? With the line against the man and all?
Same here
Michael, you forgot to mention the pen slot 😅. You can put the slim pen in the keyboard (slot accessed by pulling the keyboard forward) which also charges it via wireless charging.
Only available on one of the available keyboards.
Thanks for validating my decision not to purchase. Lol
Rounded corners ? No thank you!!!
