It also boasts dual far-field Studio Mics and 2W stereo speakers with Dolby Audio. It comes with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. Microsoft’s Surface Pro X, for those unfamiliar, features a 13-inch PixelSense display with a resolution of 2880×1920 pixels and 267PPI. Microsoft is also introducing three new colors for the Surface Pro X keyboard, which is now available in Ice Blue, Poppy Red, and Platinum. The new Surface Pro X also now comes in a Platinum finish for those of you who weren’t a fan of the Matte Black finish. It comes with Fast Charging, so you can get around 80% of charge in just under an hour. Microsoft is, however, offering 15 hours of battery life on the new Surface Pro X (on both the SQ1 and SQ2 variants), which is a nice upgrade from the original Surface Pro X’s 13 hours of battery life. Other than that, the Surface Pro X remains exactly the same in terms of design.

Variants with the SQ2 processor also comes with the SQ2 Adreno 690 GPU compared to the SQ1’s Adreno 685 GPU. That means if you go for the entry-level versions of the device, you will still get the first-generation SQ1 processor. Interestingly, the new SQ2 processor is only available on the “premium” configurations of the device. Microsoft’s new SQ2 processor is apparently the fastest processor in its class, though Microsoft isn’t sharing any specific stats on performance or efficiency gains.

The new SQ2 processor is Microsoft’s second-generation custom chip built in partnership with Qualcomm. The company is introducing a new, more powerful ARM-based processor that powers the Surface Pro X.Īs you may remember, Microsoft first launched the Surface Pro X with its SQ1 processor, built-in partnership with Qualcomm.

Microsoft is launching a refreshed version of the Surface Pro X today.
