Microsoft says the Surface Pro X will last up to 13 hours after one charge, which seems kind of okay, although you may find you want more. But perhaps there are other, more useful applications. The machine is also the "first Windows PC to have an integrated AI engine", creepily demonstrated during the Microsoft Event as enabling you to change the look of someone's eyes when on a video call to make it look like they're continually looking at you. This all sounds great on paper, but seeing as ARM-based Windows 10 devices don't historically do so well when compared to AMD or Intel machines, we will reserve judgement until we've had time to properly test it out. It also said that it has three times more performance than the Surface Pro 6. Microsoft claims that this setup provides "best in class" graphics performance. The Surface Pro X is also the first to have its own custom-built processor – an ARM-based Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU that Microsoft is calling the Microsoft SQ1. These specs are similar for what the MacBook Air (read our MacBook Air review here) offers at its starting price. The starting price of the Microsoft Surface Pro X is $999, and for that, you'll get 8GB of RAM (memory) and a 128GB SSD, which is removable. Microsoft Surface Pro X: Key specs and performance Overall, this feels like a tablet that creatives could actually use. So on the design and display front, so far, so good. The Surface Pro X comes in one colour: matte black aluminium, with the black Alcantara fabric Type Cover for the keyboard cover. Fresco will soon arrive on the Surface platform. We also saw at the event that the Creative Cloud works really well on this machine, with Adobe Fresco (opens in new tab) having been optimised for the Surface Pro. You can also use the Pen on its side, giving you nice soft blended effects when creating artwork. You can turn the Pen around and use the end of it like an eraser, which is pretty cool. The new Pen is just as good as before, and has the pressure sensitivity and palm rejection we've come to expect from the Surface Pen. When you pull out the Pen, the Surface automatically brings up the whiteboard app. Plus, it's got a stylus, the Surface Pen – now called a Slim Pen as it's a bit flatter, which you can store easily within the device, where it automatically charges. Typing feels slightly bouncier than before, but is overall an enjoyable experience.
