LOL, these SPX posts always devolve quickly, mostly by haters that know nothing about them, those that are regurgitating outdated information, or had a bad experience with one a while back. I've had one since it was originally released. Early on, there were some bumps in the road for sure, Win on ARM64 was pretty new. There's be a ton of work and improvement done since then. I have no issues whatsoever with my OG SPX. For most people that use Office and surf the web and watch some shows on it, it's perfect. It's my preferred travel device. Tablet form factor and weight but full Windows functionality.

No, you're not limited to only Windows Store apps. Come on, that was never the case.
64 bit emulation has been out for over a year now.
There is an official Win11 build for it.
Lack of 5G is overblown. Midband is just starting to appear in most places and is almost all DSS/NSA which essentially is just LTE-A on a 5G carrier. It's got a SD X24 modem, which is CAT20. It's 4x4 MIMO and 5CA, so up to 20 streams and is spec'ed up to 2 Gbps download speed. Obviously that's not going to happen but it can do several hundres Mbps easily and I do it regularly on AT&T. Some act like if it's not "5G" it may as well be 56K dialup.
VPN woes, Windows built in VPN is fully functional and has all features. Cisco Anyconnect and Palo Alto GlobalProtect have ARM64 versions and are by far the most common clients.
Lastly, yes, there can be driver compatibility if the developer hasn't fixed it.

Ok, rant over, carry on with the SPX hatefest.

I use this as a daily driver - and for an on-the-go pc it is awesome. For the price, you are getting a really high end build quality chassis, beautiful & accurate screen and dead quiet (ARM - so no fans etc...)

It is definitely not for gaming or processor heavy media editing. But I'm using it to edit via photoshop, lightroom, VLC (all ARM64 apps), Audacity (emulated but works awesome), Firefox (ARM64), spotify (ARM64). I haven't really run into many compatibility issues (but I know what I'm using and not trying to install any weird x86...)

Battery life has been great. I even installed a new 1tb 2230 ssd, which was super easy and increased my space and read/write speed.

Cons:
No headphone jack (so stupid in a productivity device)
60hz screen (wish is had the 9's 90hz screen)
No keyboard included (and I still don't love the kickstand on my lap)
No Chrome ARM64 app

Looks like it is being shipped with the SQ1 chip instead of the new SQ2 chip

The only potentially concerning thing I saw was you were limited in the Windows apps you can run since it uses an ARM processor.

Interesting points in one of the reviews in the ARM processor vs Intel for some apps with the emulation for older apps.

This is what holds me back. But also a pretty decent price!

I saw this the other day and have been very tempted to replace my Surface Pro 3 that just died. I know there are limitations but I don't do much on my computer anymore and my wife sometimes uses a laptop to access a VM for work.

Also I saw some got the SQ1, if that happened I would just return it.
