Working outside on the Surface Pro X shouldn't be a problem. With sRGB coverage of 104%, the Surface Pro X doesn't quite match the newest iPad Pro (123%). The gilded gold in some of the opulent venues shown throughout the trailer shimmered while the rich colors in the velvet red and green dresses made it clear that the costumes designers put a lot of effort into making this feel like the early-1900s.Īccording to our colorimeter, the Surface Pro X's display covers 73.7% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, making it more colorful than the panel on the Surface Pro 7 (68.8%) but less vivid than the premium average (84.1%). Apps from the Microsoft Store are generally fine, but that's a limited selection, and getting support for these legacy applications will still take some time.The screen was so detailed that I could see every outline of Djimon Hounsou's shredded body during a knife-fighting scene in The King's Man trailer while the dot-shaped scars on his shoulder left me curious about the character's origins. Microsoft polished the software experience when it came to running Windows on ARM, and it shows here.

When it comes to running apps, I had very few problems with most of the apps I tested. When it comes to web-based tasks, you will encounter very few performance issues, but I will note that occasionally, I experienced random hangs while watching videos. I got through entire workdays just fine when I was on the browser (preferably Edge, since it's better optimized on ARM), using social media, watching Netflix, and getting on Zoom calls. The device runs fine when you throw web-based apps on it. In my testing, the Surface Pro X delivered subpar performance, but generally speaking, it was inconsistent the best way to describe using this computer would be to treat it like a Chromebook that runs Windows. You can spec up the SQ2 devices with up to 512GB, but there are no RAM upgrades here. Our review unit came with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
