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.
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

I great little laptop if all you needs is basic Office suite.
Only two things this X version has more are the 16 Ram and the Sim slot.
Sim slot, I personally don't need (why would I pay for another service for very occasional use when I can use hot spot from my phone that I am already paying!).
16 Ram sounds really nice, but consider all the disadvantages with the ARM processor!
On the other hand, the Pro 7+ comes with keyboard - BIG deal. As far as the SSD, I got a 512 GB SSD coming today and it should be super easy to replace the original 128 GB. I got it for 40 bucks, new. So, total for the upgraded Surface would be 620.
I want a machine that I can work from when I need to be on the go. Something powerful enough to edit video on (Personal videos, not work), I may run Photoshop here or there, and don't mind if its not lightning fast since I want a smaller sized machine. I'm mostly in web based apps, but I want a little extra power and compatibility for when I need it. I see this deal on eBay around the same price point (i5 with only 8GB RAM):

Anyone have a link to an Intel based machine they recommend instead of this ARM based that is worthy in a slightly similar price point after adding on a keyboard?

Also, I don't believe even Microsoft's own core apps are ARM based yet including Visual Studio, SQL Server etc. So how would you expect other companies to bite the bullet!

I know so because I worked at a large corporation that issued the higher end ones, in the $1,000- $2,000 range, out to all their employees and then the company scrapped all of them in less than 2 years after getting flooded with endless complaints of these failing like crazy!

It isn't perfect--wish I had an SQ2 or SQ3 chip (if this deal were for the SP9 ARM with the SQ3 chip...I'd be sold).
The form factor was a nice upgrade over my SP5. The built in LTE has been great for use as a travel device. I don't use the pen much now that I am done with grad school, but the integrated rechargable pen is a way better setup than the old surface pen. Unfortunately looks like keyboard/pen not included in this deal price.
Battery life and portabiltiy have been great. Enjoy using it for reading long PDF/Word docs for work. Great airplane machine (fold the keyboard away and you don't have to put it away for takeoff and landing, LTE lets you stay connected at the gate before you takeoff and airplane wifi kicks in).
The SQ1 arm support is...mixed. It does 95% of what I want, but there are some apps that just aren't an option because of the quality of the emulation layer. SQ3 would help this a lot. My day to day stuff isn't a problem, but there are a couple of things I'd occasionally like access to that just don't work well. The big 2 are RStudio and Plex. Plex kinda works but is very slow and choppy (haven't tried alternative apps yet). RStudio used to be a total no-go since it only has 64bit releases of current versions, but I haven't tried it since switching to windows 11 which adds a better emulation layer (but not as good as SQ3).
Other things I've mostly tried to adapt to finding ARM native apps--I don't use it for heavy lifting so it is mostly OK. It works with my corporate Citrix setup, so all of my work apps are available.
Also while the LTE modem has been awesome to have (my work pays for the mobile service, but I think I'd pay the $$ even if it came out of my pocket), the switch to 5G is going to quickly deteriorate the service. Between a 5G modem and the much better SQ3 chip, holding out for a newer SP9 ARM might be better.
Happy to answer any compatibility questions best I can.
