I can't think of a single thing that needs improving on Surface Pro X for design. The omission of Wi-Fi 6 is more disappointing and unclear. Nonetheless, it would have been exciting to have as an option. That is somewhat understandable for 5G, which is still a bit green, and it would likely require a significant redesign of Surface Pro X's antenna system. Interestingly, the other two features of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 5G announcement – specifically 5G and Wi-Fi 6 – did not make it over to this refreshed Surface Pro X. Both are based on the Kryo 495 CPU from last year and are clocked a tad higher than last year's processors. Out of these, it is only the new processor and advancements in ARM that are notable.įollowing Qualcomm's somewhat vague announcement of its Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 5G, which now features optional 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and improved performance, Microsoft followed with its SQ2 chip. General advancements in ARM and Windows.More color options for the Surface Pro X Signature Type Cover.A 5G modem would make the Surface Pro X more future proof, but not having to use a phone as a hotspot is a win. What makes the Microsoft Surface Pro X a noteworthy portable detachable is its built in LTE Advanced for connecting on-the-go. Microsoft also promises all-day battery life, with a rated runtime of 13 hours, but we'll have to see how that shakes out in our testing. The Microsoft Surface Pro X is fast charge capable, which means you can get up to 80 percent capacity in less than an hour. Microsoft Surface Pro X: Battery life and charging So this is not your typical Snapdragon-powered PC. Microsoft also redesigned the GPU with Qualcomm that pushes over 2 teraflops.
It boasts "all-day" battery life, faster performance, and efficient computing. This is the first time Microsoft is experimenting with a Microsoft custom SQ1, 7-watt chipset.Īccording to Microsoft, this SQ1 chip offers three times the performance per watt than the Surface Pro 6. The Surface Pro's travel-friendly design is enabled by a custom, ARM-based CPU.
