The Surface Pro X's kickstand is sturdy and provides plenty of viewing angles to suit your needs. The Surface Pro X looks pretty similar to other Microsoft Surfaces at first glance: it's a big slab of glass with a aspect ratio and a nifty kickstand on the back to hold itself up. There are a few key differences, though, that makes the Pro X look slightly more refined. Its edges are more rounded, and its bezels are thinner than on the Surface Pro 7. They're minor changes, but they give the Pro X a sleeker, more distinguished look.
It's also incredibly light. At just 1. Once you latch a keyboard onto each tablet, the Surface Pro X comes out slightly ahead at a total of 2. The Type Cover works great, too. If you're familiar with the Surface Pro's traditional covers, it's pretty much the exact same thing: it attaches to the bottom of the Surface via a strip of magnets and can be positioned at two different angles for your preferred typing experience.
The keyboard itself is spacious, and its keys have enough depth to help prevent discomfort over long typing sessions. There's even a slot above the keys to hold your stylus in place, should you choose to snag one.
Once it's set up which only takes a few minutes , you should be able to bypass entering your password every time you flip open your Surface, as long as the webcam and infrared sensors can recognize your face. It works well, even in poorly-lit rooms, and it's surprisingly fast. There's one caveat, though. Since the Surface Pro X uses a kickstand rather than a traditional laptop hinge for angle adjustment, it's a bit more difficult to reposition the screen once placed on a surface.
So, if you're trying to use Windows Hello from a funky angle, your face might not register, and it's a bit less convenient to fix than on something like the MSI Prestige Evo That said, this only happened once or twice over the course of a week's testing. With a battery life of just under ten hours in our tests, it's not as impressive as Apple's ARM-powered MacBooks , and it's only slightly better than the results we've received from laptops like HP's Envy x You can use the Surface without either, but you'll be missing out on some key functionalities.
Pair that with an inability to run a large chunk of Windows programs, and the Surface Pro X feels limited. Although it can be used without the Type Cover or stylus, it's best used with at least the keyboard, but that will cost you extra. More Reviews by Justin Rubio. Polk Assist Smart Speaker Review.

But as long as point-and-shoot cameras exist, schlepping the microSD card from the camera to the phone remains an easy way to upload your photos.
Microsoft has usually designed its tablets with audio in mind. The positional demo is unreasonably fun. This laptop and its tablet cousin actually bear a close resemblance on paper—they share the same exact processor and GPU, clocked identically. Our daily experiences with the Surface Pro 7—everyday Office use, web browsing and the like—were more than acceptable. It measures light gaming, photo and video editing, and web browsing.
Not surprisingly, the Surface Pro 7 excels. Note that the default behavior for the Surface Pro 7, like the Surface Laptop 3, is to prolong battery life, sometimes at the expense of performance. In some tests, that made a difference.
Our other CPU benchmark is a stress test, a prolonged transcoding exercise using the open-source HandBrake app. The Surface Pro 7 delivers decent performance here, but we suspect some slight throttling may be at work. The chart is distorted by the agonizingly slow performance of the Microsoft Surface Go, but the Surface Pro 7 is still superior. Better cooling on the Surface Laptop 3 helps its prevail.
When it comes to graphics benchmarks, the differences become clear. The Sky Diver benchmark shows sharp differences between the Surface Laptop 3 and the Surface Pro 7, but there is also a pronounced performance improvement over the older tablets.
This translates to better prolonged graphics performance. Finally, we look at battery life. We charge to full and then pull the plug as we loop a 4K video, with volume set to about 50 percent, until the battery dies. At a design capacity of
