Engadget Review
The Surface Pro X is a beautiful piece of hardware and the best Snapdragon-powered PC around. It offers a great 2-in-1 experience, a speedy gigabit LTE connection and an excellent keyboard case (for an extra $140). But the entire Windows on Snapdragon platform is plagued by limited app compatibility and bugs. If you must have Microsoft’s software to get work done on the go, the Surface Pro X is a solid choice. But most people will be better served by either a Chromebook or the Surface Pro 7.
Microsoft still hasn’t perfected the Windows on ARM experience.

- 63AVERAGE CRITIC SCORE10 ReviewsTom's Hardware60We're Just Not CompatibleThe Microsoft Surface Pro X is a beautiful piece of hardware, but it’s Windows 10 app compatibility issues and price make it hard to swallow.Wired30Review: Microsoft Surface Pro XHere’s my prediction: The Surface Pro X will go down in history alongside Microsoft Bob and Clippy as one of the worst mistakes it has ever made. I expect it will be quietly discontinued in a year or so. Also, you should not buy one.Laptop Magazine60Microsoft Surface Pro X ReviewMicrosoft's Surface Pro X doesn't offer enough performance to justify a high price and app compatibility issues.New York Times70Powerful Computer, but So-So TabletAt home with the Surface Pro and iPad Pro, I ultimately found myself wanting to reach for the iPad Pro more often to check email, browse the web and watch videos. When it came to work tasks, I yearned for a normal computer. That was abundantly clear when I faced a tight deadline for writing this review of the Surface Pro. Instead of using the Surface to type this out, I returned to the office to write on a PC.Gizmodo70Microsoft's Surface Pro X Goes Full BatmanIf you look close, there are glimpses of a masterpiece, and if you isolate these situations, the Surface Pro X can be a hero.CNET70Sleek, but software hasn't caught up yetThere's so much I really like about the bold new Surface Pro direction. ... But the relatively high price, especially considering the cost of accessories, the software compatibility issues and tough spec comparisons with the mature Surface Pro 7 make this ideal for only a small subset of the tablet-toting population.Time60Microsoft's Surface Pro X Is Pretty But Not Ready for PrimetimeThe Pro X’s potential is frustratingly hamstrung by poor planning and a narrow view of its audience. Widespread app incompatibility and sporadic performance issues make it impossible to deem the Surface Pro X a device worthy of serious consideration, especially when it costs over a grand to get it tricked out just right.TechRadar70Microsoft Surface Pro X reviewWhile we applaud the Surface Pro X for its slick and refined, thin and light design, and comfy typing experience, the Surface Pro X is difficult to recommend for most people. It ends up being an ideal device for a very small group of users, thanks to the lack of a headphone jack and no support for a variety of apps.CNN70Microsoft's Surface Pro X is for many, but not everyone yetI really like the Surface Pro X, but the core item holding me back from recommending it is the ARM-based CPU. Yes, it can handle web browsing and the apps that it supports, but it isn't the full Windows experience. Developers will need to do their part and support the Pro X, as it's likely going to be a popular device.The Verge70HEARTBREAKERThe Surface Pro X is the best-looking computer I’ve used all year. But we don’t need to look at computers, we need to use them.
