Let's see what Windows on ARM brings in June. I'm OK using my SP7 a couple more years if I need to. An upgrade for me is more of a want than a need.
It would probably be the thinness of the Surface Pro X as they don't need the cooling system that Intel needed. Most loved the design of the Surface Pro X except for the weak Qualcomm SoC. The Surface Pro 8 retained as much of the design as possible but the thickness is pretty similar to the Surface Pro 7.

Wait for SP10 with new ARM chip but pray Microsoft has better x86 emulation so non-ARM apps will run fast. Without a good x86 chip, it will be great for native apps which aren't many but Chrome is native now! If you run other apps like Photoshop etc you will suffer badly.
It's going to be SP X with ARM X chip and SP 10 with Intel Ultra chip. They always have a dual line up because they have not committed fully to ARM64 architecture and they can't commit 100% to ARM yet since 99.99% of the Windows machine are x86 and will be for a very long time. Unless they have a magical x86 emulation this time to run apps are close to native chip speed.
"Microsoft has reduced the battery capacity from 51.5 to 47.7 Wh, but overall the runtimes are very similar to the old Surface Pro 8. At a brightness of 150 cd/m² (corresponding to 62% of the maximum brightness on the review device). In the video test, almost 9.5 hours was possible, and 7.5 hours for the Wi-Fi test. Our Wi-Fi test runs for just over 5 hours on maximum brightness.
As soon as you switch to 120 Hz mode, the runtime again drops noticeably. We have listed the values for the three scenarios in the table below. You should therefore avoid 120 Hz mode when on the road."
Battery will never be great on this device if you are using it with decent brightness
New arm chip may rescue it
If you can always bring a charger (to work 8+ hours) and don't mind thermo throttling then it is a nice device. You need a keyboard though to be super productive as a laptop. If you are productive using a tablet then it's great mobile device at 2 lbs and infinitely more flexible than iPad IMO since you have a full windows OS
