Howbeit, there are not many M.2-2230 SSDs out there. This is why we were unable to conduct many of our usual benchmarks. The slate only supports applications from the Microsoft Store and 32-bit programmes, which, in practice, can lead to severe limitations. However, the main issue is the app compatibility. Our review device uses the SQ1 SoC, which offers a very good level of performance, subjectively speaking.

Microsoft offers the Surface Pro X with either the SQ1 or the somewhat more powerful SQ2 processor (both from Qualcomm). The front-facing shooter comes with a 5-MP sensor and the rear-camera features a 10-MP sensor. The two good cameras are a big strength of the Surface Pro X. However, in everyday use, the charging cable proves to be rather clunky. Moreover, it can also be used to charge the tablet (USB-C ports can also be used for charging). Microsoft’s slate offers two USB-C ports and a special Surface Connector, which can be used to connect additional accessories from Microsoft to the device. Thanks to the Snapdragon X24 modem, the Surface Pro X supports LTE.

However, in day-to-day use, the slate functions very well. In our Wi-Fi test, the Microsoft Surface Pro X achieves surprisingly poor data transfer speeds. The backlit keyboard offers a short travel distance and a satisfactory typing experience. In addition, it also features a slot for the Slim Pen.

The optional Alcantara keyboard doubles as a screen protector and provides good tactile feedback when typing. There is also a silver version of the slate. Our review device is the matte black variant. The kickstand on the back is really thin, and the hinge is not particularly stable.
