In reply to Jules. Hi Jules I have an HP Officejet Pro 276dw at home. Windows Update automatically downloaded and installed the necessary PCL6 driver.

Hi Thomas,

what is your experience about printer drivers? your pro X is connected to a printer? ARM drivers?

In reply to TVO.

As always it depends, if all your applications work on the Surface Pro X, the Surface pro X would absolutely be my favorite. In terms of Word, Excel, PowerPoint that works well.
The Surface Pro 7 doesn’t have any limitation, except for one, it doesn’t have integrated LTE/4G. So, in that case, you will need to connect to a wireless hotspot. With the Surface Pro X you can do both.

Dear Thomas! I am searching for one device for everyday work. I am working with tons of emails and different types of docs (Word, Excel, PP, Acrobat, etc.).
I have realized, that I’m always out of office and home, work “on the road”.
Now I am using the iPhone XS Max with smart battery case, but seems for me, that I need bigger screen and keyboard to be more productive.
Thinking about Surface Pro X vs 7. But I need Your suggestions. Thanks!

Thanks for posting the review.
I agree with your approach to Surface Pro X. It isn’t pleasant that I carry my Surface Book everywhere everyday and it’s somewhat needed nowadays that daily driver has all day battery and LTE also always connected.
Maybe it can take some years, till Aarch 64 is integrated in most apps to utilize all power of ARM. Nonetheless it looks very promising as a portable daily driver for future.

Do you know if we are working on a native ARM Teams app?

In reply to Gabriel Topala. Sorry, I guess that was a typo :) It is just the ARM version of Office that comes preinstalled. You are absolutely correct, this is ARM32. I corrected the article :) Thanks!
