Too many limitations. The Surface Pro X comes with an ARM-based processor and an integrated LTE modem, which is why it is an interesting device for those who appreciate portability. However, in everyday use, the combination of an ARM SoC and Windows 10 results in a lot of limitations, and the battery life is also quite poor.

From the new Apple M1 powered Macs to the Microsoft Surface Pro X I've been using, ARM-based computers are the new craze in mobile computing. The Surface Pro X was Microsoft's second big consumer push to get into the ARM platform and it really nails the essentials.

Design The Surface Pro X is slim and light while still having a large display. It's a modern take on the classic Surface Pro design, and it's great., LTE Having LTE on computers is incredibly underrated and it makes the computer miles more useful and portable.

No 64 bit emulation I know it's coming, but at the time of review there is no 64 bit emulation and basically no developers are building software for Windows on ARM. It makes the Surface Pro X a pseudo Chromebook until 64 bit emulation is released.

Great screen size. Touch screen. Fast and super light.

So long as you're comfortable with its limitations, the only real sticking point is the price as you're going to need the keyboard and Surface Slim Pen as well as the tablet itself.
