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. 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. You’d be right to expect great performance given what the Pro X costs, but this is another sticking point.
