![]() ![]() ![]() Weight: Starting at just 1.7 pounds (excluding keyboard). Release date: October 5 th, 2021, the same day as Windows 11 release. The new Surface Pro 8, which is even more capable, will start at $1,099. Windows 11 Surface Pro X Prices, Release Date, and Specs Price: Starts at 899.99 and is available for pre-order. On my SB1 I thought Windows 11 is great, but the real improvements came after I disconnected the screen to run as a tablet. Touch keyboard is improved, entire UI is touch friendly, touchscreen gestures are a godsend. Naturally, even the base model benefits from features the Surface Pro X doesnt have, like Wi-Fi 6 and Thunderbolt 4, but at 200 more. Windows 11 on the Surface Pro X is an ipad killer. While it has shorter battery life, its Intel processor can natively run all Windows apps. By comparison, a Wi-Fi-only Surface Pro 8 starts at 1,100. ![]() Still, the Surface Pro X faces an uphill climb against the similarly priced Surface Pro 7, which can currently be found for $699 with comparable specs. The Surface Pro X's ability to support both x86 and 圆4 emulation could help, though. Microsoft has touted that Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Shapr 3D, Zoom, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Teams will now work on the Surface Pro X, though I don't see many people making heavy photo edits on a device like this. The bigger issue is the number of applications that can run natively on its ARM-based architecture. Its lower starting price of $899 could attract more buyers. There's not much new to the 2021 Surface Pro X other than the company offering a new Wi-Fi only model. Microsoft says that the new Surface Pro X 2021 will last up to 15 hours on a charge, same as the previous generation. We will be testing this claim during our full review.
