Of course, apps compiled to run natively on ARM devices will run better, but I'll at least be able to use my favorite apps. With support for both, all of the apps I use work on the Surface Pro X in some capacity. Luckily, Windows 11 on ARM supports x86 and 圆4 app emulation. Second, there are some apps that I use that don't work with Windows 10 on ARM. I'm hoping that the Wi-Fi version falls below that at some point. Occasionally the LTE model of the Surface Pro X goes on sale for $800. Saving $100 makes it easier to treat myself. If I bought a Surface Pro X, it would be a nice-to-have, not a must-have. Two major factors have held me back from considering the Surface Pro X as a personal device. There's a reason that it tops our list as the best Windows 10 tablet. Devices like the Surface Pro X are sleek, thin, and light. That's one major selling point, but it's not the only draw. Windows 10 on ARM and Windows 11 on ARM aren't just about devices always being connected to the web. I can put the money I save towards a Brydge SPX+ keyboard that converts the Surface Pro X into a traditional laptop. Paying $100 extra so my device can use that SIM card doesn't make sense either. Maybe that's not normal, but in my specific case, I have more data than I can use, so paying for a separate SIM card to avoid having to tether isn't worth it. I share mobile data with my wife, and we've never used all 165GB. But the reality is that I do it so little that those are minor inconveniences.įor some strange reason, I was given the chance to upgrade to 165GB of cellular data per month for less money than I was paying to get 25GB. I know it's not as elegant as having built-in LTE support.
On the rare occasion in which I do have to use a device through LTE, I just use my phone to tether my connection. I also don't want to have to pay for a separate SIM plan since I'd use LTE connectivity so infrequently. There's certainly no harm in having an option to connect through LTE, but I don't need to pay $100 for it. I suppose if money wasn't an object, I'd pick up an LTE version of the Surface Pro X.
