The front-facing shooter comes with a 5-MP sensor and the rear-camera features a 10-MP sensor. The two good cameras are a big strength of the Surface Pro X. However, in everyday use, the charging cable proves to be rather clunky. Moreover, it can also be used to charge the tablet (USB-C ports can also be used for charging). Microsoft’s slate offers two USB-C ports and a special Surface Connector, which can be used to connect additional accessories from Microsoft to the device. Thanks to the Snapdragon X24 modem, the Surface Pro X supports LTE. However, in day-to-day use, the slate functions very well. In our Wi-Fi test, the Microsoft Surface Pro X achieves surprisingly poor data transfer speeds. The backlit keyboard offers a short travel distance and a satisfactory typing experience. In addition, it also features a slot for the Slim Pen. The optional Alcantara keyboard doubles as a screen protector and provides good tactile feedback when typing. There is also a silver version of the slate.

Our review device is the matte black variant. The kickstand on the back is really thin, and the hinge is not particularly stable.
