Deal Details
Bought one the last time this was up from TigerDirect. It came new in box and has worked flawlessly.

This SQ2 version is the updated chipset that released in late 2020, not the older original 2019 model using SQ1. MSRP is ($1500)

The X series has "ARM" processors (like those in a mobile phone) instead of 64bit processors used in the 7 and other Windows Laptops.

ARM processors require special versions of of your programs usually available only through the Windows store to work great. At the moment, that software is limited...so research ARM compatible apps to see if it matters to you. Chrome browser has not been released for ARM yet....but the similar new Edge browser has, for one example. ARM tablets can run some 64bit programs, but they usually run a lot slower and may crash more frequently.

The benefit of ARM processors is that they take much less power, so you can make them lighter, and with great battery life. So, if they run the software you need, they can be a great choice. If they do not, then not the best choice.

You shouldn't focus as much on benchmarks as on software compatibility. For example, Zoom doesn't support virtual backgrounds on ARM, there isn't a Chrome ARM build and Adobe apps basically don't work since they're so slow. However, I've heard Microsoft Office works great and same with Edge.

This has been out there since the SP 7+ deal was posted and its still available which shows how uncertain most people are of getting it. If all your software works, its a great deal but for me, I'm not willing to take the chance - still holding out to see if TD ships my SP 7+!

Haha, its even worse. I got an email stating TD isn't able to fulfill the order and cancelled it but the website switched from "partial backordered" to "Shipped" so a bunch of us are wondering what's next...
