Yeah, talk about a weird request. "I'd like to lose some pixels, please." No, thank you. I'd rather have the full reach of the display remain visible. Plus, frankly, rounded-corner displays just don't look as nice as a well-done sharp design aesthetic. Rounded looks too much like Play Skool or 1990s Ford interiors. The problem, if there is one, with the Surface Pro X design is that the corner of the device itself should not be quite so round, so that there's not as much contrast between the clean, sharp screen corner and the device's corner. Make the device's corner a bit sharper (not "ouch" sharp, but reduce the radius of the curve) and I think the overall look would be perfect.

@@@Mark-uk8wz Funny, I feel the opposite. CRT displays had rounded corners. When we artificially obscure the corner pixels of a liquid crystal or OLED grid to replicate the rounded corners of a CRT, the result seems retro, not modern. It's an aesthetic that reminds me of childhood: both because old-fashioned displays were round but also because so many products made for small children are soft-touch and rounded, like Play Skool toys.

It does seem like choosing between this and the Surface Pro 7 could be a little difficult...

My wife and I have a Surface Pro and a Surface Go and we LOVE them.... having a full Windows 10 computer everywhere we go is great... We always check the Microsoft Store for any software first, and even strongly consider if we can get by without whatever isn't in the store... we have installed a couple non-store things, but avoiding non-store stuff is going a looooong way in preserving the performance of our devices ;)

Mr Mobile, thank you for providing another editorially independent review that gives us the bottom line of your thoughts. I'll say it again. Thank you!!!

When is the 7t review coming ? it's been over 1 month i believe

The reason you didn't get 8 hours or more of use is because you are using chrome. Use edge's arm version and you will see a huge difference not only in batery life but also in performance. This device is perfect not only for business users but for most workers that use mainly office and a browser. Journalists, writers, managers, etc.

surface laptops have always been my favorite line of products but the way they treat warranty ruined the brand for me if you get a warranty related issue they will not repair they will just send you a worn replacement unit so even if yours is in mint condition it doesn't matter, i also didn't love the display of the surface pro but other than that i love everything about them, the x is abit round for my taste though

What's worse, Windows 10 sucks. It has tremendous overhead and poor app support. So this device is not only limited, but kneecapped by its OS. If Microsoft just... invested in improving Windows 10, it'd be great. But they don't care. *edit* To be clear, I want Microsoft to be a successful competitor to Google and other tech companies in this space. But I feel like people don't acknowledge just how rough Windows 10 is on overhead.

The iPad that you've been carrying out, is it the 11 or the 12.9 inches? How do you like it?

Pro tip: Use Edge arm64 if you intend to continue as daily driver

I type a lot as I work as helpdesk, I feel surface as too soft, how would this perform anyone?

Great review! Thanks for the video.

Michael is using standard SurfacePro keyboard. Does that mean that SPX and SP keyboards are interchangeable?

Still on my surface go. It’s a great deal and for the price and as a student it does everything I need. It’s also the 4gb with 64 gb model. For gaming, I just run light games from the windows store so it’s amazing for me.

I'm still rocking my Surface Book gen 1 2015. Love it!

Macs work with Active Directory as well. And Microsoft has made most of its available (and pretty good) on iOS.

Only 6hrs ? eesh .. I really wonder if the LTE version of a regular surface Pro would also hit that (or do better? with the ice-lake in the SP7)

I want one of these so bad, but I'm still confused about how nobody has ARM support on their laptops

So, what I want is a "tablet" which runs Windows. (I need Windows for my android phone). Which can run heavy cpu programs. Next year im going tot be an architect student so the drawing capabilities need to great. I have a late 2015 MacBook pro wich is still running smoothly but unfortunattly no Windows. Does anyone have suggestion? Thanks in advance

Run Edge chromium canary - it's basically chrome compiled for ARM

Hey Michael, try primarily using Microsoft's Edge Chromium Canary build, which has 64 bit ARM support (and is due out for regular release next month I believe) or Firefox, which also has 64 bit ARM support, and let us know how your battery life has been affected. Many Surface Pro X users have noticeable gains in battery life when using only a 64 bit ARM supported browser (since it does not need to do 32 bit emulation). You may then get closer to 8 hours of battery life, possibly even more.

For consumers buy a Chromebook and a 7th generation laptop for the same cost as a Pro X and have a far superior user experience. The question is why pay more for the compromise of less? If you have disposable income as a second device then maybe, but again if you need a tablet the iPad Pro is far superior. Of course, if you are buying as it is the latest shiny new thing then it is your money, but that does not make it a sensible buy.

What does that say on the till at 3:20? "Sorry no WiFi. No laptops on ?????"

Can anyone tell me the intro music

Try using a browser built for ARM like Firefox, or the new Edge with Chromium Engine. You will get considerable higher battery time, which will be enough to get you through the day.

What's with MrMobile's profile photo? 🥺

Yes yes yes so ready for this review 😊

Review the zenbook produo 14 inch

When I saw the X announced, I was tempted to buy it, even asking about pricing and availability on a retailer's post here in NZ about it. However, my excitement was dampened when it price was $1850 for the 8/128GB model, plus another $480 for the keyboard & pen. As I realized that I'm using my current laptop less and less, there's no way to justify such an expense

4:06 chrome is running 32 bit and not native ARM, try ARM64 Chromium Edge or ARM64 Firefox and you should see much better battery life
