And we also get the magnetic Surface Connect charger instead of a USB C one. The power button sits on the left side and on the right, you’ll find the volume controls.Įven though you can charge the Surface Pro X using both USB C ports, Microsoft continues to include the Surface Connect port which sits on its right side. No, they don’t support Thunderbolt 3, but you can connect USB C hubs and external monitors anyways. Well, I guess it’s time to get over that. It’s a bit disappointing that just like with Apple’s and Samsung’s flagship devices, they decided to remove the headphone jack. But at least you can get a replacement without sending it to Microsoft. Sure, it’s a bit smaller than your standard SSD. Yes, the Surface Pro X is the first Surface and one of very few tablets in general, that let you replace the SSD on your own. Next to that SIM card slot, you have direct access to the SSD. LTE is a standard with all versions and works well. Instead, you can use a SIM eject tool to open a lid and insert a SIM card. The kickstand seems to be very sturdy and you can open and close it smoothly.Įvery generation offered a microSD card slot that was always hidden underneath the kickstand. Like all Surface tablets, the Pro X has a kickstand build into its back and you can open it very wide. Now, that never happened, but it feels more fragile. When I use Apple’s even thinner tablet without a case, I always have the feeling of bending it by accident. I noticed that the body seemed much sturdier to me than the iPad Pro does. Since the ARM processor is passive cooled, there are no air vents and it’s completely silent. While that looks quite elegant, it also means that you’ll see fingerprints much easier. Instead of a magnesium alloy, Microsoft is using a black aluminum body with rounded edges now. The tablet is thinner than the Surface Pro 7 with its 7.3mm but it weighs about the same at under 800g. Because of that, the screen bezels on the sides are very slim now. They managed to increase the screen size from 12.3 to 13 inches without making the body bigger. Regarding this, every Surface has been excellent in the past and with the Surface Pro X, Microsoft improved the design of the Pro series even more. We’re starting this review with the design and build quality.
