The Windows Hello face recognition camera above the screen is simply brilliant, logging you in instantly when you look at it. The 13in screen is sharp, gorgeous and responsive, in line with most high-end laptops. At 774g it’s not light, but this is a fairly large tablet – the Surface Pro 6 weighs 770-784g, while Apple’s 4G 12.9in iPad Pro weighs 633g. The fanless design looks and feels fantastic: solid, thin and exceedingly well-made in black magnesium and glass, the sides nicely sculpted to make them hand-friendly. The Surface Pro X takes the Surface Pro 6’s design, maximises the screen widthways and shaves off 1.2mm of thickness. You can use the Surface Pro X hand-held, but at 774g it is not that light.
