10 PCWorld NOVEMBER 2019NEWS HANDS-ON: MICROSOFT SURFACE PRO X
A screenshot of the available configurations for the Microsoft Surface Pro X.display, and the Pro X lives up to that tradition.
The Surface Pro X weighs exactly the same
as the Surface Pro 6: 1.7 pounds. (Microsoft
hasn’t yet published a weight for the Surface
Pro 7.) Again, it’s to Microsoft’s credit that it
feels like a Surface tablet: There’s only one
matte-black color option for the aluminum
chassis, but both the tablet and keyboard feel
sturdy, with a solid connection between the
keyboard and chassis.
