Surface Pro X是全新的二合一产品，可提高Surface设备的移动性。该设备的突出特点之一是它由基于ARM架构的处理器供电。还有许多其他因素构成了设备的整体优点。我们有机会处理该设备，并正在展示我们对它的评论。
微软 Surface Pro X 评测
在本次动手Surface Pro X评测中，我们将涵盖以下方面：
- 规格。
- 表现。
- 新的 Surface 触控笔和专业键盘盖。
- 新设计。
- ARM 兼容性。
- 端口。
- 判决。
1] Surface Pro X 规格
Surface Pro X 在 Windows 10 上运行。它有一个 13 英寸的 Pixel Sense 显示屏 (13-inch Pixel Sense Display )，分辨率为 2880×1920。
微软(Microsoft)为这款产品放弃了英特尔 CPU(Intel CPU) ，与高通(Qualcomm)合作开发了自己的CPU ，称为Microsoft SQ1。
Adreno 685处理设备的所有图形处理。
该设备有8 GB (8 Gigabytes )和 16 GB 两种变体，以及(16 Gigabytes )128 GB、256 GB或 512 GB的内置 SSD 存储 。
(Microsoft)考虑到基于ARM架构的CPU的电源效率，(CPUs)微软声称一次充满电的电池续航时间约为 13 小时。
该设备的尺寸为287 毫米 x 208 毫米 x 7.3 毫米 (287 mm x 208 mm x 7.3mm )，重约774 克。( 774 grams.)
2] Surface Pro X 的性能
如前所述，该设备运行在基于ARM架构的Microsoft SQ1芯片上。( Microsoft SQ1)因此(Hence)，它带来了快速(Fast)启动、LTE等功能。SQ1是 PC 上第一款基于ARM的处理器，主频为3 GHz。
Adreno 685图形处理单元(Unit)提供了一些非常轻量级的游戏。
Surface Pro X 还配备了2 Teraflops的图形处理能力(Graphics Processing Power)。功能没有任何妥协，因为它还支持全速以实现SSD(SSDs)等其他外围设备的高性能。

3]新的Surface Pen和Type Cover
微软(Microsoft)稍微改变了Surface Pen和Type Cover的设计。Pen和Type Cover现在相互补充。
新的Surface 触控笔(Surface Pen)现在可以充电，并且可以安全地塞入Type保护套中。它不再采用老一代的圆柱形设计。
微软(Microsoft)声称这种设计更适合艺术家，但我发现它只是平均处理。人们可能需要一些时间来适应这种新设计。
4] Surface Pro X 采用全新设计
设计略有改变。它是为基于ARM架构的处理器而设计的。这使得该设备整体非常薄。这种更薄的设计是ARM处理器实现的无风扇设计的结果。
该设备的主要设计与支架保持一致，可让您将设备放置在任何方向。
5] Surface Pro X上的ARM兼容性
我动手操作的单元正在运行Windows 10 Home。它运行的是 64 位版本的操作系统。值得注意的是，该设备将支持32 位应用程序(32-bit applications)，但不支持 64 位应用程序。即使它运行的是 64 位版本的操作系统，这也是适用的。这不足为奇，微软(Microsoft)仍在后台努力弥合这一差距。仿真可以成为填补这一空白并扩大使用该设备的应用程序范围的最佳方式。
6] Surface Pro X 上的端口
经过多年的传闻，USB Type C终于来到了Surface Pro设备上。本机有2 个 USB C 型 (2 USB Type C )端口。它 不是 Thunderbolt (not Thunderbolt )，但可用于充电和高速数据传输。这也是导致器件变薄的一个因素。
但是，您在这种变薄中权衡的是移除了 3.5 毫米音频插孔。如果要插入耳机，则必须使用无线耳机或USB Type C随附的耳机。这将产生高质量的音频输出。
传说中的Surface Connector仍然存在，并已更新为Surface Connector Plus，可用于连接集线器或现在可用于快速充电。
7] 判决
判决简单明了。如果您想将此设备用于繁重的任务，例如玩繁重的游戏、渲染视频或大数据可视化，那么此设备不适合您。但是，如果您想运行一些轻量级程序、浏览网页、播放电影或音乐、创建文档和电子表格，那么这款设备非常适合您。Adobe Photoshop已在此设备上进行了测试，发现运行良好。
如果您是一位总是在旅途中并且必须进行一些简单的编程或进行演示的高管，那么凭借LTE的强大功能和全天的电池续航时间，您可以在一次充电后完成所有工作，无论您身在何处.
该设备的一些优点是：(Some of the Pros of this device are:)
- 快速充电。
- 电池续航一整天。
- 采用薄边框的纤薄设计。
- 强大的中央处理器。
- 重新设计的类型盖以匹配设备。
- USB C 型通用端口。
该设备的一些缺点是：(Some of the Cons of this device are:)
- 卸下 3.5 毫米插孔。
- 昂贵的Surface 触控笔(Surface Pen)和专业键盘盖(Type Cover)。
- 依靠集线器插入USB A和以太网(Ethernet)。
- 它本来可以便宜一点。
该设备将于11 月(November)在Microsoft Store和其他合作伙伴处发售，起价为 999 美元。但是，您现在可以在Microsoft Store 预订它。(the Microsoft Store.)

Surface Pro X Review - The most beautiful Surface Pro so far!
Surface Pro X is the new 2-in-1 that will boost up the mobility factor of the Surface devices. One of the highlighting features of this device is that it is being powered by a processor based on the ARM architecture. There are many other factors that make up the overall goodness of the device. We got a chance at handling the device and are presenting our review of the same.
Microsoft Surface Pro X review
In this hands-on Surface Pro X review, we will be covering the following aspects:
- Specifications.
- Performance.
- New Surface Pen and Type Cover.
- New Design.
- ARM compatibility.
- Ports.
- The Verdict.
1] Surface Pro X specifications
The Surface Pro X runs on Windows 10. It has a 13-inch Pixel Sense Display with a resolution of 2880×1920.
Ditching the Intel CPU for this product, Microsoft has developed its own CPU in collaboration with Qualcomm called Microsoft SQ1.
The Adreno 685 handles all the graphics processing for the device.
The device comes in two variants of 8 Gigabytes and 16 Gigabytes and inbuilt SSD storage of either 128 GB, 256 GB or 512 GB.
Microsoft is claiming a battery life of about 13 hours in a single full charge given the power efficiency of CPUs made on the ARM architecture.
The device is of 287 mm x 208 mm x 7.3mm in dimensions and weighs around 774 grams.
2] Performance of Surface Pro X
As already mentioned already, this device runs on the Microsoft SQ1 chip based on the ARM architecture. Hence, it brings in features like a Fast startup, LTE and more. The SQ1 is the first processor based on ARM on a PC that is clocked at 3 GHz.
The Adreno 685 Graphics Processing Unit offers some very light gaming.
Surface Pro X also comes with 2 Teraflops of Graphics Processing Power. There is no compromise of functionalities as it also supports full speed for high performance of other peripherals like SSDs.

3] New Surface Pen and Type Cover
Microsoft has changed slightly, the design of the Surface Pen and the Type Cover. The Pen and the Type cover now complement each other.
The new Surface Pen is now rechargeable and can be tucked in securely in the Type cover itself. It no longer sports the cylindrical design from the older generations.
Microsoft claims that this design is better suited for artists, but I found it just about average to handle. People might need some time to get used to this new design.
4] Surface Pro X gets a new design
The design has been changed slightly. It was designed from the ground up for a processor based on ARM architecture. This has made the device very thin overall. This thinner design is a result of the fanless design that came to life with the ARM processor.
The principal design for the device remains great with the kickstand which allows you to place the device in any orientation.
5] ARM compatibility on Surface Pro X
The unit that I got my hands-on was running Windows 10 Home. It was running the 64-bit version of the operating system. It is worth noting that this device will support 32-bit applications, but will not support the 64-bit applications. This is applicable even if it is running the 64-bit version of the operating system. This comes as no surprise, and Microsoft is still working in the background to bridge this gap. Emulation can become the best way to fill this gap and increase the scope of applications that work with this device.
6] Ports on Surface Pro X
After years of rumors, USB Type C has finally come to the Surface Pro devices. There are 2 USB Type C ports on this machine. It is not Thunderbolt but can be used for charging and high-speed data transfers. This is also a factor that allowed the thinning of the device.
However, something that you trade-off with this thinning is the removal of the 3.5 mm audio jack. If you want to plug in headphones, you have to use a wireless headphone or the ones that come with USB Type C. This will result in high quality of audio output for the same.
The legendary Surface Connector is still present and has been updated to be Surface Connector Plus and can be used to connect hubs or can be now used for fast charging.
7] Verdict
The verdict is simple and straightforward. If you want to use this device for heavy tasks like playing heavy games, rendering videos, or large data visualization, then this device is not for you. But if you want to run some light programs, browse the web, play movies or music, create documents and spreadsheets, then this device is perfect for you. Adobe Photoshop has been tested on this device and found to run well.
If you are an executive who is always on the go and has to do some light programming or work on presentations, then with the power of LTE and all-day battery life, you can complete all your work on a single charge, wherever you are.
Some of the Pros of this device are:
- Fast Charging.
- All-day battery life.
- Slimmer design with thin bezels.
- Powerful CPU.
- Redesigned type cover to match the device.
- Universal ports of USB Type C.
Some of the Cons of this device are:
- Removal of the 3.5 mm jack.
- Expensive Surface Pen and the Type Cover.
- Reliance on hubs for plugging in USB A and Ethernet.
- It could have been a little cheaper.
The device will be available for purchase in November at the Microsoft Store and other partners and starts at $999. However, you can preorder it right now at the Microsoft Store.
