During testing, selecting text, finding apps to open, and multitasking was more difficult with the Surface Pro X in tablet mode than with Apple's iPadOS. Most of my preference for using the keyboard cover, though? I don't find Windows 10 functions very well as a tablet, touch-primary operating system. (To be clear: The Surface Pro X, like all of Microsoft's other Surface tablets, does not come with a keyboard solution in the box.) My preference for the keyboard is partly because it doubles as a magnetically attaching cover for the tablet when it's not in use, which you'll want anyway, and partly because it includes a built-in magnetic holder for the stylus, something the Surface Pro 7's keyboard cover lacks. Dell's analogue, the Latitude 7200 2-in-1, also with a 12.3-inch display, is 1.9 pounds and 0.37 inch thick.Īlthough you can use the Surface Pro X solely in its basic tablet form, tapping the screen as your primary means of interaction, I find that the experience is better if you use the optional Surface Pro X Signature Keyboard, which costs a hefty $269 and includes a robust (if small) touchpad and a nifty digital stylus. The Surface Pro 7 is essentially the same size and weight as the Surface Pro X, but it has a smaller (12.3-inch) screen. Other Windows tablets, including Microsoft's Surface Pro 7, feature kickstands as well, but they're typically much bulkier or include smaller screens. The 0.28-inch thickness and 1.7-pound weight are especially impressive when you consider that the Surface Pro X includes a built-in kickstand for propping up the tablet on your desk.

It's fine for basic use but a poor value, appealing mostly to Surface superfans willing to work within its limitations. All those high points, though, can't offset some key flaws: It suffers from occasional sluggishness and-crucially-software incompatibilities and nuances that buyers will have to navigate. And thanks to its custom, unique ARM-based processor, the Surface Pro X is whisper-quiet and features long battery life. (It starts at $999, in the configuration we're looking at here.) It's a candidate for the best-looking pure Windows 10 tablet ever, as sleek as the iPad Pro. And for bleeding-edge dwellers, there's the new Microsoft Surface Pro X. Big spenders and digital artists might gravitate toward an Apple iPad Pro. For tens of dollars, Amazon will sell binge watchers and email checkers a Fire HD.
No matter your budget, some kind of name-brand tablet PC is in your reach. Incompatible with some third-party apps and drivers.
