- rowanG077 7y agoJust now I googled "Surface Pro x review" and picked the top 4 results which are actual reviews. Out of those only one is negative. This also seems to align with my own experience of users using it. https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/surface-pro-x https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/surface-pro-x: "The Microsoft Surface Pro X looks like the first ARM-powered laptop worth buying." https://www.windowscentral.com/surface-pro-x https://www.windowscentral.com/surface-pro-x: "Complicated but brilliant." https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-surface-pro-x-review-its-the-perfect-portable-pcfor-me/ https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-surface-pro-x-review-i...
