Just running the familiar Geekbench 5 benchmark shows the difference: our test Surface Pro X with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD delivers a single-core score of 728 and a multi-core score of 2857, while the Envy x2 manages 3. But that's about it, because when it comes to performance it's like comparing apples to oranges, or maybe a Surface Go to a Surface Book 2. They even have similar screens, along with support for Microsoft's Hello facial recognition log-on. Both are always-connected 2-in-1 tablet PCs, with removable keyboards and built-in LTE modems. It's interesting to compare the performance of Microsoft's new SQ1 processor, designed in collaboration with Qualcomm, with the original Qualcomm Snapdragon 835-powered hardware, in the shape of the HP Envy x2.Īt first look the Surface Pro X and the Envy x2 are very similar. It's been around a while, with the first batch of devices launching some 18 months ago. The first thing to understand is that Windows on ARM is, for most purposes, a full version of Windows. With the Signature Keyboard and Slim Pen, this model cost £1,708.99 ($1,768.99). Our review unit had 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. The 13-inch Surface Pro X runs Windows 10 on Microsoft's ARM-based SQ1 processor, which was co-developed with Qualcomm.
