The Surface Pro 7, by comparison, is a hair thicker at 8.5mm. Tossing on a custom skin from dbrand (opens in new tab) may not be a bad choice.Īt just 7.3mm thin, the Surface Pro X feels very much like an iPad Pro - solid, metal, premium, and lean.

The metal chassis is also exceptionally prone to fingerprints, something that the platinum Surface Pro 7 is adept at avoiding. It's professional-looking, but the lack of zest for flair is depressing. Surface Pro X only comes in one color - black. Think of it more like a specialized tool rather than a do-it-all PC. Surface Pro X is a unique device with a particular target audience.

It's safe to assume that Microsoft didn't tinker with the Surface Pro 7 this year to give the Surface Pro X some wow factor, and it works. With razor-thin bezels - at least on the sides - slightly curved aluminum body, and a 13-inch display, the Surface Pro X makes up for the Surface Pro 7's re-used looks. The Surface Pro X is possibly one of the most beautiful looking computers of 2019, up there with the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1.
