The new Surface Pro 8, which is even more capable, will start at $1,099. It will be available in Platinum a few select. Microsoft will offer a model with LTE, as well as a Wi-Fi only version. While it has shorter battery life, its Intel processor can natively run all Windows apps. The Surface Pro X starts at 899.99 and is available for pre-order. The Arm-based SQ3 model delivers 5G support and a long-lasting battery at the expense. 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. Offering Intel- and Arm-based versions of the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 widens both your options and caveats. 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 Surface Pro X - 13 - SQ2 - 16 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD - 4G LTE-A Pro. 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.
