Surface Pro X Student and Artist Review | Is This Beautiful Machine Worth It?

The Surface Pro X has a beautiful design with the 13" Display in the same footprint as the surface pro 7. I mostly use the surface pro for OneNote and classwork so that is what I am giving my feedback on. I also do a quick timelapse of me drawing on it and give my thoughts on the slim pen. I do some comparison between the surface pro 6 and surface pro x as well as some comparison with the surface slim pen and the surface pro pen.

You can use these for both surface pro x and pr 7 and will charge them at their appropriate wattage.
Recommended Powerbanks:

This is my first windows on ARM laptop. I really enjoyed using the surface pro x in class. It was fast and responsive to opening OneNote and my digital textbooks. I had no issues getting my work done. This is great for those who use OneNote and other office apps and don't really need to use any other heavy programs that are not supported on here. You can still download Adobe Photoshop, but it will have to be the 32-bit version which limits the amount of ram that it can use.

The surface pro x doesn't support all programs here. As of now, it doesn't support my preferred drawing app. You won't be able to download the Sketchbook app in the windows store. had to download the 32-bit version online. It was a bit finicky and didn't have the pen tool that allowed for only drawing with the pen and moving around with the hand.

Thanks for watching my surface pro x real-life use video.

Awesome review! I definitely like the larger screen and thin design of the Surface Pro X, but I think I’d still get the Pro 7 instead for the tried-and-true 10th gen Intel CPUs, and slightly cheaper price with a keyboard.

This is the review I wanted for a student! Thankyou!

One last video before the year ends. Happy New year's everyone! 🎇

Holy short!! they should have used your drawing for the commercial for this product.

[joshuaflores]

I've been waiting for a review like this!!! thanks for posting

Cool video, so nice to see the SPX being used in the real world. I spend most of my day in OneNote and find the slim pen more comfortable than the previous version (probably weight related) and I don't have to 'hunt' for the button as much as on the rounder pen (I wish my OneNote pages looked as neat as the brief glimpse we saw of yours). I love my SPX but yeah the price was horrific so my old surface go and 2018 iPad will be going on eBay to offset the cost.

I m thinking on getting the 8gb and 128g of storage model, is it good enough storage? O it will be full in a few months? I do not know if it is possible(risky) to replace the ssd as mentioned . Thanks for answering!

[inorganicproduce]

Thanks for the very informative review! I feel like I know how using it is really like, not just a list of features.

[lrkejensen]

Great video, finally someone made a students perspektive. Is 8GB RAM and 128GB enought for a student? I use microsoft onenote, powerpoint, word and others. But i save it all in my cloud. Is it enough space? :)

Another engineering with this tablet, I thought I was the only one.

hi, lovely review, i was wondering if any other stylus like the adonit ink or the wacom bamboo is compatible with the surface pro x? as the pro x seems to be barely listed on compabilbilty lists of popular stylus brands.

[impmaximus]

Just one question, I mainly want to use this device for taking notes, how about the latency when you write, is it good? Like not that I draw one line and it appears half a second later . I will take a lot of notes with it, pages, so obviously that’s quite important :)

Hi, is it possible to use the replacement showing on 4:35 for the Surface Pro X pen? Thanks

[LovelyPaper]

It's a fair enough review but I have to disagree. I actually went from the 2016 MobileStudio 16 to this and find it outstanding, but this is with the caveat that I spend more than 90% of my time in Clip Studio. It's crazy how the 13" 3:2 screen literally feels as spacious as the 15.3" 16:9 screen on the MSP. The SPX also has the latest MS pen protocol in it and I think it's worth the extra price to have the hover lag shaved down to virtually nothing, just like on a Wacom PC. Lastly, for the time being, I think it's worth paying extra for the SPX over the iPad Pro because I'm able to use peripherals like the CSP Tab-mate and also view the brush cursor size. I've also heard that the build quality of the SPX feels a bit more solid while you may have to worry about bending the iPad, as if Apple's quest for the lightest weight comes at that cost.

Thanks bro, i really wanted to know if it’s good for drawing

[joukenienhuis]

Will this laptop also be good for Designer programs like Google Sketchup or Revit?

[commentarytalk]

Let's hope Surface Pro X 2 comes out with improvements and compatibility of software increase.

Price:Performance needs to be right for consumers too.

Stunning design however.

[Sh-S]

I tried this surface but I didn’t like it all. Some Softwares don’t work on this because it doesn’t support normal windows .

[sophieluneburg]

where is the link to the sketchbook version? cause i have the surface pro x and i cant find that anywhere
