New Microsoft Surface Pro X Keyboard (QJW-00001)

Product Information

Add in upgradeable storage, built-in 4G capability and nippy performance and it looks like the perfect 2-in-1. It’s a little pricier than the equivalent Surface Pro 7, which is odd, but not by much and it’s more cost effective than the cellular 12.9in iPad Pro. Pressing the fingerprint reader at the Windows sign-in screen has no response and appears not to be recognized. Colours available on selected models only. Available colours, sizes, finishes and processors may vary by store, market and configuration. Note: If you don't see a Devices menu, then your device does not provide this functionality and is working as expected. Not all devices have this option on the UEFI screen.

SurfaceProX Signature Keyboard, Surface Slim Pen, Microsoft365, and some software and accessories sold separately. App availability and compatibility may vary. The Pro X will run 32-bit (x86) apps, which might help you get around this issue. I was able to install a 32-bit version of Chrome and also Photoshop CC (after a few false starts where Adobe CC simply failed to install for some reason); so it isn’t quite as restricted as the Surface RT, which was only able to run Windows Store applications. However, even then, you can expect performance issues with resource-heavy applications because the x86 Windows apps run in an x86 emulator. Although I was able to run Chrome and Photoshop, neither of those appsfelt as nippy as you’d expect from the hardware at hand. With such great hardware, that’s a shame, because there’s clearly plenty of potential here. I wasn’t able to get our in-house benchmarks to run (surprise, surprise) but as Geekbench 4 and 5 have been ported for ARM64, they did work, and gave results that, while clearly slower than the Core i7 Surface Pro 7, didn’t lag all that far behind.

For best typing results, the Keyboard and display language should match.
