So what software is it not able to run that you actually use? Cause it performed good through out the video. Besides you down playing it. The SQ1 isn't slow

Is the pro 7 have a problem of over heating like pro 4? When pro 4 is over heating the screen goes blurry and there is no way of fixing it. I'm trying to find all the problems of it before upgrading to pro 7

Thanks for your review. I'm interested on the Surface Pro 7, mainly for it's capability to run more demanding software. However I've heard it has a lot of BSOD. Have you had any issues like that on your Surface 7?

Is the keycover of the PRo X compatible with the surface pro 7? and the pen? is something that I was thinking

I use a lot of architects plans and have larger word docs and pdfs open at the same time, what's the best surface to use.. I need a lot of storage and hate the lag in opening docs..thanks in advance

Hi, so you have told us you cannot run stuff / it runs slower. Yet you did not demo anything. Can I suggest, demo edge and office that are compiled for arm64 showing the same performance and then show some other non arm apps and how they run slower? That would be a comparison worth watching, showing stuff that does work well, stuff that does not work well.

Hi and many thanks for this interessting video. I have just read on the internet that an update will come in November, that will bring the 64bit emulation and thus the installation of 64bit programs will be possible. What do you think about this? Will you then do a new comparison with the Pro 7? Greeting

You could do better on this video if you showcased specifically what the Pro X fails to do. In this video, all you showed was what it handles well while bemoaning it's short comings. We know it can't run 64bit x86 apps, seeing how it handles 32bit emulation would of been informative vs just the soapbox. Not to mention, what works for you is not always the bar that others fall under. No mention of the advantages, like LTE for those who might work in Office and Slack on the daily, for example. This is just scathing for the sake of being scathing.

Agreed. I traded in my Surface Pro 6 for the Pro X, specifically because of the larger screen, LTE connectivity and integrated pen, while retaining the ability to run the windows legacy apps that iOS and Android will never get. In the meetings I go to, wifi can be very hit or miss, so having LTE goes a long way to being more productive. The Pro X is certainly a niche product for a certain customer, but it is a better product to fill that niche then the Pro 7. The Pro 7 is a better all-around machine, but the Pro X excels in the areas that are most important, to me (connectivity, screen size, legacy software compatibility).

I’m going to try my hand with the surface pro 7 I love the pen for the pro X. But I think the 7 is perfect for what I want out of a laptop for school.

Isn't it because the two are connected to same network and you clicked a new page on the Pro X first?

the fact that MS released pro x along side with pro 7 will hurt them. yes, each of them is aiming different audience (probably) but no matter what these two will be compared if released around the same time. =P MS should've waited a few months before releasing the pro x. now with samsung galaxy book s just around the corner with the same ARM chip i guess reviews would be relatively the same as the pro x's. Good thing i guess is that as more companies take on the ARM chip machines more developers would jump on the wagon to create more apps.

Honestly the surface pro doesn't really have a good alternative. I'm in the design industry, an architect, and as much as I wanted the pro x, the fact that it doesn't run the apps that matter to me - a cad viewer and the office suite ( with one drive integration)with basic conceptual sketching and excellent typing performance. No, the iPad pro doesn't do it. People who get there surface pro need it. And nothing else really works. The question is, who is the pro x targeted at ?

I checked it out in the MS store.. good looking hw, louder speakers, quality was just ok but I would not pick it up over Pro7. It beats it in compatibility and future proofing any day in 2019/2020 and more. Pricing is high with keyboard. Maybe they should make a smart cover to protect the display. IDK but think these will be on sale prices very soon

" here I am giving it such a heavy endorsement and it is gonna fail me on the camera, huh" 🤣🤣🤣

I believe during the netbook craze a few years ago there was a push to make windows run on arm chips because they’re cheaper than intel/amd CPU’s thereby bringing the price lower as the smartphone explosion happened and more people were using arm based portables more than pc’s

Another best tut I found on KZread. Lould and clear

I see the Surface Pro X as Microsoft's first big attempt at a catalyst for devs to create, or at least co-develop their apps to be optimized for ARM devices. I'm not sure what CPU the Surface Neo will have, but I'm guessing it will at least have an ARM variant, which has LTE baked in, and is supposedly better optimized for mobile in terms of power efficiency, and battery life. Despite the beauty and innovation of the Surface Pro X and the upcoming Surface Neo, the success or failure of both will depend heavily on how well their third party support is.

I line how the Pro X breaks your narrative multiple times during testing lol. But I agree. As of now, SP7 is probably better.

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 KZread 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 reading/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 3. No microSD slot 4. MS' 64-bit emulator greatly reduces battery life (so I have not downloaded it) 5. Can't run all of Windows 35 million apps/programs (yet)

Totally missing the point if the X. In couple of years everyone will thank Microsoft for pushing ARM processor! Massive benefit for laptops and tablets, it will make them slimmer, better with battery, less heat etc. Also consider the fact that the Pro X will only get better. Every software developer is working on the software support for that devise! Adobe is the biggest name out of many who is making there products fully compatible with that processor.
