Now with two USB Type-C ports, the Surface Pro X offers added connectivity and expansion options.
LTE Advanced Pro Mobile Broadband
Thanks to its Qualcomm Snapdragon X24 LTE Modem, the Surface Pro X is designed to work on select GSM and CDMA networks and is Gigabit LTE Advanced Pro capable. LTE is an advanced cellular network data protocol capable of data speeds so fast that they compete with wired broadband internet providers. With an LTE connection, the Surface Pro X should have no problem streaming HD video, downloading apps, uploading photos, or anything else that requires a high-speed data connection. In addition to cellular wireless, the Surface Pro X also features Bluetooth, NFC, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The Surface Pro X is carrier unlocked.
Note: Not compatible with all cellular networks. Please make sure your provider uses a frequency or band that the Surface Pro X supports, and that they will allow you to use carrier unlocked devices. You can check which bands this Surface Pro X works with in the Specifications.
Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) & Bluetooth 5.0
The Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard provides high network efficiency, fast Wi-Fi speeds, great coverage, and long battery life for connected devices. Bluetooth 5.0 also provides users with cable-free device connectivity.
The Portability of a Tablet
Weighing in at 1.7 pounds and measuring 0.28″ thin, the Surface Pro X can be used in classes, at meetings, or on the road. The bright, responsive touchscreen and the high-quality speakers with Dolby audio provide an immersive viewing experience, while the front 5-megapixel camera allows you to video chat with friends and family in high resolution.
Windows 10
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8’s Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft’s digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it’s not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
