You can get a third party one for < $25 at either Amazon or eBay. The only downside as they would be Bluetooth rather than direct Meg pairing. I have this and totally loving it for everyday browsing light internet use

Consider that Microsoft launched these at $1800(!) - though the LTE models were often subsidized somewhat through sales by the carrier(s). Beautiful devices with solid battery life, but they've always presented a relatively poor value for money relative to more traditional x86 Surface devices (at the same or typically even lower prices, despite the fact that the Surface Pro X have been regularly on fire sales in the secondary market).

Good luck!

I recently picked up a Surface Go with a lowly Pentium and it's honestly performed stronger than I expected. I use it for spreadsheets and coding aside from browsing. So I think this X version is probably a solid performer.

One of the biggest reasons I wanted a Surface and why I love it, it's absolutely quiet. The fan nose in my laptop sometimes drives me crazy.

I use it with a $25 Bluetooth keyboard, works fine.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Let me do you all a favor and give my 2 cents as an actual owner of SPX.
Short answer: Dont buy it
Long answer: if you only do very lightweight stuff like youtube and word, why choose this over iPad or Samsung Tablet unless you have a very specific reason to use a Windows tablet? Even if you do have a need for windows tablet, why the ARM model? Why not the actual Surface tablets with intel chip? If you can honestly answer the questions, then only buy this tablet if it is the best deal financially for you because you will need a keyboard too which is separate purchase.

I also own one and there are a couple of great reasons to own this. First of all, it's a real PC, not a tablet running a phone OS like an ipad. The other is that if the Surface form-factor is what you want, the battery life on this one blows all the intel ones into the weeds. I'm getting close to twice the battery life of my other Surface devices.

Indeed. In the spirit of fairness, I'd concede that specific clientele/enterprises were able to justify the exorbitant price point based on their niches- I'm sure they'd perform well in their areas of strength. Unfortunately, these have such a minute portion of the market and their drawbacks are massive.The next-gen Snapdragon might be a solid performer even with the translation layer, but these are two generations older and won't hold a candle to that. IMO, these are worth ~$200 unless there's a niche of ARM geeks wanting them for the novelty or secondhand enterprise users who can benefit from their unusual feature set.
