This is probably the best review of this product I’ve seen. as someone who is wearing Apple Watch, who talks about their Apple products you seem to have no bias at all in your review. Make more reviews like this and don’t drink the Kool-Aid have The Verge, Engadget, CNET and all the other tech site for that.
Fantastic review! I’ve watched many reviews of this product, so I was surprised to learn much new. But, this was probably the most detailed review I’ve seen and I learned several new things. Very well done.
Good review. I decided to replace my Surface Pro 4 with Surface Pro X rather than Surface Pro 7. I was leery after reading reviews of the Surface Pro X so I borrowed one from a coworker, loaded the programs I use and went through my daily workflow. It does everything I need and I love the form factor, battery life, slim pen, and LTE connectivity. I do agree about the difficulty opening the kickstand and I've ordered a skin because I hate fingerprints but otherwise I'm happy. I bought a mint condition used 256GB version with pen and keyboard for $900.
WOW EXCELLENT REVIEW!!! Thank you !!! I work for an airline and we bought several of these in January, they are loved by everyone using them. I am in profitability -- we're very busy these days. You covered all they best points because your review is of an educated one, no one covers the uses of this like you. I just subscribed -- YAY!!!👍👍👍👍
Probably the best review on the internet about this device. I was tempted by the pro x, but went with the tab S7+ in the end. Lack of Dropbox was one of the main reasons... Maybe one day I will consider an improved version once 64bit emulation works
@Lauren Glenn Back then Windows 11 didn't even exist but I still wonder if desktop Dropbox works. I have installed the Android subsystem on my Surface Book 3, and while it's not native, it works and I even manage to install the Google Play store.
OMG. This is the most fair, thorough, informative, articulate and drama-free reviews I’ve seen since the SPX was released. Seriously- it was really great and your post production work looks great as well. I’m still torn between the SPX and the SP7. I tried the SPX at a MS event and it was really nice, but I am worried about the ARM compatibility issues for something that all-in can cost close to $2K. Thanks again for a great review! Gonna check out the rest of your channel now.
what I did before I switched.. go through all the apps you use on the laptop and use the task manager to find out which ones are 64bit. Then look to see if there are any alternatives. It turns out for programming do only apps I used on my surface book for 32 bit or Linux so it went perfectly smooth!
Dude, this review is amazing. Wow, super informative and to the point. 😊👍 Sucks the form factor is so solid, but lacks x64 support and even Surface Go level components. Anyway, thanks again for your hard work!
Dude. Based on your subscriber count, you are newer, but this is one of the BEST, UNBIASED, computer reviews I have seen.... And I've seen a LOT. Major props to you!!
La migliore recensione che ho visto negli ultimi 8 anni, la più completa, la più bella. Lei è bravissimo, il migliore di tutti perché non è italiano. Gli italiani tutti fanno recensioni di basso livello ed incomplete dicendo sempre le stesse cose.
Listen im not a gamer. Im not a photo/video editor. Im a student. I love this device because it is light and portable. And by portability i mean you are always connected. As a student this is an advantage as I get to be connected for emails to and from my professors. I use it for some media consumption and for drawing/sketching. I also use this to take notes. The new Edge browser really amazing. Its like using Chrome. I love that I can take this device to school cafe restaurant train office meetings and be connected.
A very nicely done review, finally something which doesn't give us a generally negative post, thus showcasing that the reviewer didn't understand the purpose of the machine. One comment though: around 17:50 you claim that the pen is sold separately, but that is not the case. It's included with the keyboard, you can't get a surface signature keyboard without the pen. Of course you can get a different keyboard without a pen, but... there are more differences there than just the pen.
Great review! I am a full time commerce law student and also work four days a week, so the surface Pro X was perfect for me to take into work then go into uni. Such a beautiful piece of kit and makes the pro 7, look agricultural..... I love the connect charger but also love the dual USB C. For me working with either Excel spread sheets or long documents, a laptop was a must, especially when i have back to back classes all day. I love the cellular too, and I knew that I would appreciate being able to work on the go, read the news or do emails. When compared to the surface GO with cellular it's only an extra $600 here in AUS for the X, which offers a larger screen, more power and better build. I did definitely consider the Ipad pro 12.9 with cellular, and while that is a great device, for my work I needed more of a "laptop" experience, especially with Excel. Also the camera is great for zoom calls etc. Finally the iPad with the case is very expensive. On sale I got the whole surface x kit for the same price as an iPad pro 12.9
iPads aren't computers iPad run 1.9 million smartphone apps iPads can't run MacOS SPX can run over 35 million Windows applications SPX can run over 1 million apps from Microsoft store (incluing many Google store apps) End of Story
@@RK-um9tu but brother there is no app on Microsoft store that can best Zoom notes , good notes or notability. OneNote is very limited , no support for Google drive or other clouds, 5gb not sufficient for academic work. And for long run , Windows laptop are bad in battery section compared to iPads.
Thank goodness for Leonardo 👏🏼 only reason I’ll be able to take advantage of the X until ARM becomes more popular in the Windows world. Great review though answered more questions I had! Never even thought about headphone jack... or Pro... hmph.
Holy crap, dude. Just drop out of school already and go all in on reviewing stuff. You're great at it. (Your mom might not agree, so I get it if you don't take my advice.) :D Thank you for a fantastically thorough and entertaining review. Cheers.
Bezels become almost EVERYTHING once you see the thinner design next to regular ... I know from my Samsung S5e tablet.. the design alone just makes thicker bezel displays look like the way a flat screen tv looks like to a tv from 1980.... its nuts
Good review right up to the part where you said the Surface Pro X is only perfect in the right hands and thats not what its being marketed to. I couldnt disagree more. The Surface Pro X is being marketed to real life users that are in the most employable jobs out there... Business owners and enterprise execs. These are people that want connectivity and portability using common business programs. I also disagree that people who like the Surface Pro X will lie about its performance. I love mine and know there are compatibility issues but I dont care. The positives outweigh the negatives by far. On balance, though I would say your review was good as you covered off a lot of the usability aspects.
What a great review I hope you continue doing reviews have a great tone and you really do cover most aspects. I own this device as well and I'm pretty happy with it there's always some exception here and there but otherwise it works for me. The only thing that bothers me and maybe somebody has a comment about it is the screen is not as sharp and it's clear as let's say the Samsung would be there seems to be like a dull film on it, does anybody else have this problem?
Loved your review on the Surface Pro X. I wish I would have seen it before buying one. I don't do photo modifications. So, that wouldn't be the reason for returning it. The problem is that I can't connect to my dual screens. Pluggable does not have ARM drivers are not available in Microsoft. In buying Microsoft docking station, I have to also buy cables compatible with the docking station. Cost just keeps rising. Its becoming a money pit.
Good review! But I have questions: I noticed you also use an iPad. Now that the iPad has both keyboard _and_ mouse support, what are some reasons someone might choose the Surface Pro X over an iPad Pro?
Good review. I am still on the fence between this one and the SP7. I really appreciate your not doing your unboxing ASMR style. Thanks for the great work!
I picked up both and ended up sticking with the SPX. The display, design, speakers, microphones, camera, LTE, and pen are absolute game-changers compared to the SP7. If you're going for raw power or rely 64-bit Win10 apps then don't get it but if you're like me (a business professional) who uses mostly O365 and browser-based cloud softwares, this is a must have device tbh. Just my two cents! This thing is slippery af though as he said in the review.
@@thatguitarist25 Ha! I ended up getting an SP7 i5 on special. But the form factor is a bit similar, although I can't stop staring at those bezels... Thanks for the advice!
@@mr.yonosenada its definitely the safer choice. Tbh I think my issue WAS having them next to each other in the same use cases and being like "omg the pro 7 looks SOOO bad" lol hope you enjoy it though! Both are great devices and the only formidable opponents to the iPad Pro
Really great (and extensive) review! Thanks E.J. Out of curiosity, how much VRAM does the Surface Pro 7 have? I'm blown away that my Surface Pro X has 1MB of VRAM, and yet it can run Netflix. Does the Surface Pro X use shared VRAM from main memory?
Love the review, it's excellent . I'm a digital artist . I have the XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro drawing tablet with screen 24" and I’m deciding if I like the new surface Pro X better. There’s no parallax between the pen and the screen, no lag. Most of the windows drawing / painting software is being spported. It's more portable, more versatile, has a much better battery life, and is a perfectly adequate laptop.
Amazing review! One thing, you said it's much better than a Chromebook. It would be interesting to see a comparison to a comparable device like the new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, since it has a pen and AMOLED screen for $999. For a developer perspective, Chromebooks also have Linux integrated to do Dev stuff. On it you can also install apps like Gimp, office, and other 32 and 64bits programs. You have Android apps too. And unlike MacOS, Chromebooks have touchscreen and pen support as well. And you also have the simplicity of Chrome OS when it comes to updates and efficiency. I don't see it that clearly. It would be and interesting comparison.
I am hoping the next gen of Pro X (rumoured launch in 30th Sept or 1st Oct) will address some if not many of the issues you mentioned. I currently own Surface Pro 3 for 5 years now..and looking forward to buy another Surface 2-in-1 as replacement. At first I didn't bother with Pro X. Because initially I thought it must be some sort of highest end of product from Microsoft. I mean the name 'Pro X' itself gave me false impression that this thing might even be better than Pro 7. So, after seeing your review and others, I realise now that Pro X is a different species. The name and marketing makes it like a very high end PC. But, I am still interested and looking forward for Pro X 2 though...
Really love this review!! I’ve seen so many, but you pinpointed everything! even showed examples while working on it which is important to see what it looks like while it’s being used. I’m going to get this pc even though there’s some things don’t run on it, but give it time and everything will work fine on it. And it’s gonna be even more amazing pc 💪🏼 also “youtubers “ reviewing this pc gripe because it’s $1000!! ... but fuck it ...if people can pay $1000 for their cell phones, why is it a problem for buying a PC? 🤷🏻♂️
Appreciate your long term review. As suggestion is using a screen protector will help with glare and writing experience. Or at the very least wear a glove to enhance palm rejection. The iPad have really cornered the market with palm rejection. The only one that maybe superior is the Samsung laptop using the professional grade wacoom technology. Yea when the palm rejection fail is fails spectacularly. I still have notes with I explain vertical lines or handwriting all over the place due to page moving randomly up or down. The irony that the top pro Microsoft product doesn't have win pro is very funny. As a CS student too, I'm using the extra feature to run ubuntu within windows. This because we'll you know we are suppose to know how vim etc. I would be a little nervous down the road to run docker on this device. As for games I would suggest just stream it through parsec with your main computer doing the heavy load. I also tend to skin my devices just so I don't have to worry about scratches not fingerprints. Just out of curiosity what ide are you using? And will you be a vim or emac user?
I really hope you make an updated review once the 64 bit emulation is available on the surface pro x. I’m a student but I also wanna do some light gaming and I’m hoping the surface pro x (once it’s updated) is gonna be good enough for the games I wanna play. I have an iPad Pro right now but I’m sick and tired of the mobile limitations the iPad has and want a iPad like device that has desktop functions. I know I’m asking for too much here😭 thanks for the review I’ll look forward to the updated one hopefully🤞🏾
Purchased the SPX (SQ1, 8 ram, 128 ssd) for only $623US and love it. 1. Battery life is outstanding. I get 12-13 hours of continuous TH-cam viewing at 40% brightness / BlueTooth off / Wifi and battery saver on (SP7 gets 7-8 hours). 2. Screen is brighter (can watch videos/read in dark room w/screen brightness at 0%) 3. Display is bigger which helps greatly when annotating documents 4. Is thinner and easier to hold for notetaking 5. I can run every app I need for work (Office 2019, statistical software, PDF apps, Zoom, Snapdrop, Nebo, etc.) w/o downloading MS' 64-bit emulator 6. Price of the keyboard is about the same as SP7 on Amazon ($65) 7. SP7 pen works on the SPX Downsides are 1. No USB-A port (dongle life) 2. No Thunderbolt 3 (can't leave charger home) 3. No microSD slot 4. 64-bit emulator kills battery life (this is why I haven't downloaded it) 5. Not all of Windows 35 million apps/programs work (yet) Finally, video editing, photo editing, & drawing are hobbies. Pro means white-collar professionals and STEM workers. So the SPX, unlike all iPads, is a Pro device.

Is it good for media consumption and web browsing or am I better off getting the surface pro 7 or Lenovo c940 or surface laptop 3?

Really great (and extensive) review! Thanks E.J. Out of curiosity, how much VRAM does the Surface Pro 7 have? I'm blown away that my Surface Pro X has 1MB of VRAM, and yet it can run Netflix. Does the Surface Pro X use shared VRAM from main memory?
Thank you, awesome review.
It’s is the most comprehensive review I’ve seen on surface pro x
So that means you have never heard of Windows Central...lol
nice video and review. keep it up man! subbed
Awesome video, thank you
u have a good announcer or radio voice. thanks for sharing the video!
at 2:20, is that the lecture hall at UCSD? Very informative and balanced review!
I'm still happy with my SP3 tbh I just wish there was an easier way to replace the battery
Same issue. It works fine but the battery life is trash. Did you find a fix?
@@d.edwardsfreelanceeditorvi4212 I haven't sorry. I've just accepted that the battery will run out after 3-6 hours
Love the review, it's excellent . I'm a digital artist . I have the XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro drawing tablet with screen 24" and I’m deciding if I like the new surface Pro X better. There’s no parallax between the pen and the screen, no lag. Most of the windows drawing / painting software is being spported. It's more portable, more versatile, has a much better battery life, and is a perfectly adequate laptop.
Awesome review
love the review! thank you!
Thank you for a very nice and detailed video.
Amazing review!
One thing, you said it's much better than a Chromebook. It would be interesting to see a comparison to a comparable device like the new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, since it has a pen and AMOLED screen for $999.
For a developer perspective, Chromebooks also have Linux integrated to do Dev stuff. On it you can also install apps like Gimp, office, and other 32 and 64bits programs. You have Android apps too.
And unlike MacOS, Chromebooks have touchscreen and pen support as well.
And you also have the simplicity of Chrome OS when it comes to updates and efficiency.
I don't see it that clearly. It would be and interesting comparison.
Nice review bro. Earned my sub.

The 2017 pen jitters man, you're right.
I am hoping the next gen of Pro X (rumoured launch in 30th Sept or 1st Oct) will address some if not many of the issues you mentioned. I currently own Surface Pro 3 for 5 years now..and looking forward to buy another Surface 2-in-1 as replacement. At first I didn't bother with Pro X. Because initially I thought it must be some sort of highest end of product from Microsoft. I mean the name 'Pro X' itself gave me false impression that this thing might even be better than Pro 7. So, after seeing your review and others, I realise now that Pro X is a different species. The name and marketing makes it like a very high end PC. But, I am still interested and looking forward for Pro X 2 though...
Honest review. Thanks
Great review.

Best review of Pro X. Nice.
Best review on youtube
Great video. Thank for sharing!
Fantastic....in deapth review.... Appreciated work
Nice video!
Thank You! Really helpful.
Really love this review!! I’ve seen so many, but you pinpointed everything! even showed examples while working on it which is important to see what it looks like while it’s being used. I’m going to get this pc even though there’s some things don’t run on it, but give it time and everything will work fine on it. And it’s gonna be even more amazing pc 💪🏼 also “youtubers “ reviewing this pc gripe because it’s $1000!! ... but fuck it ...if people can pay $1000 for their cell phones, why is it a problem for buying a PC? 🤷🏻♂️
Are you going to review the iPad pro magic keyboard? Good video btw
Thanks for posting this. Now that I think about what I need it for, it's not really worth getting.
Thank you for the great video!!
great video hope you do a surface pro 8 video like this
Appreciate your long term review. As suggestion is using a screen protector will help with glare and writing experience. Or at the very least wear a glove to enhance palm rejection. The iPad have really cornered the market with palm rejection. The only one that maybe superior is the Samsung laptop using the professional grade wacoom technology. Yea when the palm rejection fail is fails spectacularly. I still have notes with I explain vertical lines or handwriting all over the place due to page moving randomly up or down.
The irony that the top pro Microsoft product doesn't have win pro is very funny. As a CS student too, I'm using the extra feature to run ubuntu within windows. This because we'll you know we are suppose to know how vim etc. I would be a little nervous down the road to run docker on this device. As for games I would suggest just stream it through parsec with your main computer doing the heavy load. I also tend to skin my devices just so I don't have to worry about scratches not fingerprints. Just out of curiosity what ide are you using? And will you be a vim or emac user?
I really hope you make an updated review once the 64 bit emulation is available on the surface pro x.
I’m a student but I also wanna do some light gaming and I’m hoping the surface pro x (once it’s updated) is gonna be good enough for the games I wanna play. I have an iPad Pro right now but I’m sick and tired of the mobile limitations the iPad has and want a iPad like device that has desktop functions. I know I’m asking for too much here😭 thanks for the review I’ll look forward to the updated one hopefully🤞🏾
IF you are actually serious about Surface devices why are you watching Apple fanboy videos instead of going to Windows Central?
Purchased the SPX (SQ1, 8 ram, 128 ssd) for only $623US and love it.
1. Battery life is outstanding. I get 12-13 hours of continuous TH-cam viewing at 40%
brightness / BlueTooth off / Wifi and battery saver on (SP7 gets 7-8 hours).
2. Screen is brighter (can watch videos/read in dark room w/screen brightness at 0%)
3. Display is bigger which helps greatly when annotating documents
4. Is thinner and easier to hold for notetaking
5. I can run every app I need for work (Office 2019, statistical software, PDF apps, Zoom,
Snapdrop, Nebo, etc.) w/o downloading MS' 64-bit emulator
6. Price of the keyboard is about the same as SP7 on Amazon ($65)
7. SP7 pen works on the SPX
Downsides are
1. No USB-A port (dongle life)
2. No Thunderbolt 3 (can't leave charger home)
3. No microSD slot
4. 64-bit emulator kills battery life (this is why I haven't downloaded it)
5. Not all of Windows 35 million apps/programs work (yet)
Finally, video editing, photo editing, & drawing are hobbies. Pro means white-collar professionals and STEM workers. So the SPX, unlike all iPads, is a Pro device.
