So, should you buy a Surface Pro X? The answer is, of course, 'it depends'. Microsoft has produced an excellent device for mobile workers, with a focus on Office and the web. That makes it an ideal tool for executives, for business analysts and consultants, for teachers and university research...

The Surface Pro X runs Windows 10, but not all Windows apps. It's a step up from previous ARM-powered 2-in-1s for the right people, though.

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.

The Surface Pro X is a fine tablet, but it's really best experienced with the Type Cover and Surface Pen. There's a lot to love about the Surface Pro X: it's a lightweight 2-in-1 with a great design, and can easily get you through a day's work with plenty of battery life to spare.

Gorgeous, lightweight design, Windows Hello is impressively fast, Solid battery life

App compatibility is disappointing, Accessories cost extra, Google Chrome runs slow
