![]() Until now, the Pro X (and other arm-based windows PCs) have been able to run programs compiled specifically for ARM, as well as running 32-bit x86 programs through an emulation/translation layer. The biggest change, and sticking point, is that not everything that would normally be compatible with Windows will run on the Pro X. While there’s no microSD card slot like there is on the Go, the SSD in the Pro X is easily accessible and upgradeable. The SQ1 can boost to 3Ghz, which is pretty quick, and the Adreno GPU isn’t fundamentally bad, from what I can tell. The latter of those is interesting to me, coming from the under-powered Go. In theory, this means significantly greater battery life compared with ‘normal’ computers, though also potentially less performance. It’s an ARM device, which means it’s not running on an Intel or AMD processor, but instead a modified Qualcomm chip (the SQ1), akin to what you’d find in a phone but modified to run windows better. It’s thin, light, and the screen is utterly gorgeous, surrounded by thin bezels. ![]() The Surface Pro X is one of the most beautiful computers I’ve ever used.
