The Microsoft Surface Pro X is a slimmer version of the Surface Pro 7 with thinner bezels and rounded corners. It features a 13-inch (2880 x 1920) touch display, an ARM-based SQ1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. In our Microsoft Surface Pro X review, we loved its slim, attractive build and bright, vivid display. We also liked its battery life, which lasted 9 hours and 45 minutes in our Laptop Mag Battery Test. Design-wise, the Surface Pro X’s black anodized aluminum has a stealth appearance and feels great in the hands. It sports the familiar kickstand of the Surface Pro 7. Microsoft also engineered a new Slim Pen for the Surface Pro X. This $139 stylus is significantly thinner than the original Surface Pen. Instead of a rounded body, it has dual flat sides. At 11.3 x 8.2 x 0.3-inches and 1.7 pounds (2.4 pounds with the keyboard and stylus), the Surface Pro X is smaller than, but the same weight as the Surface Pro 7. By comparison, Apple’s iPad Pro (12.9-inch) is sleeker and lighter at 11 x 8.5 x 0.2 inches and just 1.4 pounds. As far as connectivity is concerned, the Surface Pro X offers a Surface Connect port for charging and two USB-C ports for your peripherals. Powered by Windows 10, the Surface Pro X nails most of the tenets of any good laptop. It has a premium, portable design, gorgeous display, and reliable battery life.
