And yes, this includes phablets, not just the tablets\/laptops.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the company&#8217;s annual Surface hardware event, Microsoft launched the new 13-inch Surface Pro X, a tablet running Windows on an Arm processor. Unlike Apple&#8217;s iPhone X (pronounced as &#8220;ten&#8221;, not &#8220;ex&#8221;), Microsoft&#8217;s &#8220;X&#8221; is pronounced the way the letter is pronounced (i.e. &#8220;ex&#8221;). By incorporating the Microsoft-custom version of a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, the&nbsp;SQ1 Arm chip, the goal here is to deliver a more phone-like experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Surface Pro X is available for preorder (the cheapest sells for $999); it will start shipping in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gadget fits into a 12-inch footprint and weighs 1.68 pounds\/762 grams. It has a display with 2,880&#215;1,920 resolution (267 pixels per inch, the PixelSense density). A new Surface Slim pen has a &#8220;garage&#8221; in the keyboard; the pen charges wirelessly. There are two USB-C connections, in addition to Microsoft&#8217;s proprietary power connector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing Microsoft Surface Pro X\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v5SFBpMiaiQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other Surface Pro X specs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>8GB or 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM<\/li><li>Removable SSD: 128GB, 256GB or 512GB<\/li><li>Wi-Fi 5, Qualcomm Snapdragon X24 LTE modem<\/li><li>Up to 13 hours of battery<\/li><li>Five megapixel front-facing camera with 1080p video; 10-megapixel rear-facing autofocus camera with 1080p\/4K video<\/li><li>Two far-field Studio Mics, 2-watt stereo speakers&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"445\" src=\"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Microsoft2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36685\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Microsoft2.jpg 620w, http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Microsoft2-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"445\" src=\"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Microsoft1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36690\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Microsoft1.jpg 620w, http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Microsoft1-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"445\" src=\"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Microsoft3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36691\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Microsoft3.jpg 620w, http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Microsoft3-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also launched is&nbsp;Surface Duo, a&nbsp;dual-screen Android phone\/phablet; Surface Neo&nbsp;dual-screen tablet and&nbsp;Windows 10 X&nbsp;software for dual-screen devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Surface Neo is an eye-catcher, with dual nine-inch displays, and weighs 1.4 pounds.
