![]() ![]() Microsoft Surface Pro 9 review: Performance Our version also includes the Surface Pen, which utilizes haptic feedback to deliver a tactile experience and certainly piques our interest as to whether or not it could serve as a useful tool for automation lanes. It makes the whole unit look and feel like a fancy notebook when closed up, soft and fibrous to the touch. Our ‘Sapphire’ keyboard is constructed using a ‘partially bio-based Alcantara material’, containing 12% renewable content derived from sugarcane waste. The keyboard is super lightweight and is magnetized to stay shut against the screen when you're carrying it. Although it’s a rarity nowadays when actually using it on your lap, the top-heaviness of the unit makes it feel pretty unstable, and we certainly wouldn’t be comfortable using it that way on public transport. Microsoft included an accessibility kit in the box for us, and the additional tab to lift up the screen makes it a lot easier to open up. It feels slightly strange at first having the keyboard weighing much less than the screen and also makes it slightly awkward to open as the keyboard is magnetized to the screen. The kickstand works nicely when you’re at a desk, allowing you to easily change the angle of the screen. The new Surface Pro 8, which is even more capable, will start at $1,099.It’s a little bulkier than our MacBook Pro, but not by much. While it has shorter battery life, its Intel processor can natively run all Windows apps. 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.
