One of the key features of the Surface Pro X is that it comes with LTE as standard, not an option. However, your mileage may vary depending on the specific programs and accessories you’re using. According to Microsoft’s own tests, the Pro X has about 13 hours of battery life for “normal” use involving a web browser and a few background programs. However, for other applications, the battery may drain much more slowly. And, it’s because you’ve got multiple tabs open, and they’re running JavaScript, and a lot of other things that they’re doing… and they’re just chewing up your battery.”Įven on the Surface Pro X, the Chrome app is going to be a power hog that drains the battery fairly quickly. So, most people use Chrome, and Chrome just kills your battery… If you look at your CPU usage, the Chrome is going nuts. “If you look at your applications, which are your worst offenders of using battery? It’s going to be your browser. One particularly big drain on any computer is the web browser. Of course, some activities will still drain the battery life of the Pro X faster than others. One of the biggest questions people have about any tablet or laptop is “how long will it last?” In the video, Steve even outright asks me, “what’s the longest you’ve ever gone on battery while using it?” How Long Does the Surface Pro X’s Battery Last?
This helps to extend the battery life of the Surface Pro X so you can use it for longer when you’re on the go. The ARM processor is less power-intensive as a whole it doesn’t burn energy as quickly and is easier to keep cool. That’s the biggest thing.” Here, Stephen mentions that, because of the excess heat these power-hungry Intel CPU cores generate, you’re also going to need fans to cool that chip so it doesn’t burn out and ruin the computer. Why the change? I bring up a potential reason in the video: “An Intel chip requires a lot of power, which generates a lot of heat… they run hot and they take a lot of power to run. Instead, the Pro X uses a custom-built ARM processor. Most of the previous models of the Surface Pro, like the Pro 7 and Pro 6 LTE, utilized one of several different Intel® processors ( such as the i5 or the i7). One of the first things that Steve Goodman brought up about the Surface Pro X was that it runs a different type of CPU from the rest of the Pro line of Surface tablet/laptop hybrids.
