RefurbStore's independent expert review
Review Overview
The Surface Pro X is a stylish and slim 2-in-1 device from Microsoft that boasts an impressive design, a high-quality display, and superior portability. However, it comes with quite a hefty price tag, and its performance and battery life might not live up to everyone’s expectations.
Overall Score: 3.0/5
Price: 3/5
The Surface Pro X is not a budget device. The base model starts at a high range, and the price increases significantly when you add accessories like the Surface Pen or the Type Cover. For this price, some users might expect more in terms of power and battery life.
Camera: 4/5
The Surface Pro X comes with a 5MP front-facing camera that supports 1080p full HD video, and a 10MP rear-facing autofocus camera with 1080p HD and 4k video. The camera quality is impressive for a device of this kind, making it suitable for video conferencing and casual photography tasks.
Power: 3.5/5
The Surface Pro X runs on Microsoft’s custom SQ1 or SQ2 processor, depending on the model you choose. While it provides a decent performance for everyday tasks and some multitasking, it might struggle with more demanding software or heavy multitasking. In addition, it only runs apps that are available in the Microsoft Store or those that have been specifically compiled for ARM-based processors, which can be a limitation for some users.
Battery: 3/5
Battery life is a bit of a letdown on the Surface Pro X, especially considering its price and portability. While Microsoft claims up to 13 hours of typical device usage, in practice, it might not last
