Microsoft’s first ARM-based Windows 10 tablet, the Surface Pro X today got refreshed with updated hardware, coupled with a new color. Looks like the software giant firmly believes in its Windows 10 for ARM platform and it will likely continue releasing products that support said platform. Strangely enough, Microsoft hasn’t called this the Surface Pro X 2 or something else; it continues to call it the Surface Pro X, and it could be because the tablet offers little changes compared to its predecessor. Here is a closer look at the details.
Microsoft uses the custom SQ2 chip in the Surface Pro X and it is based on the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 silicon from Qualcomm, which by the way, sports an integrated Snapdragon X55 5G modem. Still, it’s strange to see the Surface Pro X lacking 5G support and we say this because customers may have found one extra selling-point to pick up this tablet if it did. Microsoft also made no changes to the display size, using the same 13-inch PixelSense display with a 2880 x 1920 resolution belonging to last year’s model.
