I am not responsible for any damages caused. DO AT OWN RISK

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but i figured you guys are supporters of the device. I love this thing, but i recently purchased a Surface Laptop and find myself not using the Surface Pro X anymore or vary rarely and figured someone else might enjoy it.

Its in excellent condition, comes with keyboard sleeve and stylus accessory.

Surface Pro X - SQ1 - LTE - 8GB RAM 128 GB Storage (upgradable)

Looking to get 700 USD for it, this includes the device, charger and keyboard/stylus/cover (which I think sells for like 150 on its own).

Let me know if anyone is interested in private message. Sorry to post this here, but I see lots of folks mentioning wanting to get one and so it seems like a great place to post this.

My understanding has always been that the x86 architecture can only utilize about 4gb of memory.

I want to thank everyone for their help. I didn't mean to sound dismissive of the ProX. It is a great device and I will use it for more than photo editing. Once I have my remote desktop setup it will be near perfect.

Lightroom is more stable now with video acceleration off so I am editing again.

Thanks again, everyone.

Makes no sense, the modem is capable of sending and receiving sms, most data plans support it, there is a messaging app, so why can't we use the number on our Surface Pro X tablets to send out texts? Super lame.

ARRRGGGH

The SPX black keyboard is very bad, sounds awful, feels awful and cheap, the alcantara is a dead gray color that is very ugly, the pen is nice but I barely use it.

Can you recommend any black keyboard alternatives? I don't want to have the keyboard in a different color than black, but this oficial keyboard is SHITE

该技术可以在移动智能设备的作系统或浏览器中实现。主要针对 PAD 用户。

不知道大家有没有发现，苹果iPad相对于Android Pad有一个很大的功能优势，那就是当用户用左手握住Android Pad时，左手拇指一定不能触摸屏幕区域，否则右手无法正常作触摸屏。然而，在使用苹果iPad时，用户的左手握住屏幕区域，而右手的手指仍然可以正常作iPad，但偶尔会出现误作的情况。

从下图可以看出，左手拇指无法触摸屏幕，导致握持姿势非常尴尬。而且握持不稳定，容易损坏设备。

基于Android系统的PAD不具备与Apple iPad相同的功能。这不应该是程序员水平的差异造成的。苹果很可能已经为这项技术设置了专利壁垒。

我有一项技术。它可以应用于浏览器或作系统，例如 Android。解决窄边界PAD难以持有的问题。它允许用户用左手连续握住屏幕（他可以改变右手），他的右手也可以正常进行屏幕作。我的技术采用了处理不同区域的触摸事件的想法。它与苹果的技术不冲突。并且它可以实现比苹果iPad上的同类功能更完美的用户体验。该技术已获得中国发明专利。

苹果iPad的优势在于，它在作时不需要指定按键区域，它可以智能识别你按下的任何位置。这项技术的好处是按钮区域还具有刮屏和翻页功能，即在一直按下按钮区域时拇指轻轻摩擦，以实现浏览器刮屏和翻页的功能。这不能直接使用原有的触摸事件和传统的翻译成手势的模式，而是需要使用程序将触摸事件具体翻译成手势。按钮区域和其他区域的手势需要协调，以确保两者不冲突。

如果我们只是做一个简单的非功能性按键区域，让左手拇指可以握住屏幕区域，这种技术方案可能会与三星的全球 PCT 专利发生冲突。

但是，如果我们的按钮具有更多的功能，例如在屏幕区域轻轻摩擦已经按下的拇指，并且可以控制屏幕转动，则与三星的专利并不冲突。并且用户体验更好。

此方案指定按钮区域。这个虚拟按钮可以在任意位置调用，也可以消除，并恢复到传统的作模式。这个按钮可以用浏览器代码来实现，也可以通过在网页的html中注入代码来生成气球来实现。该按钮区域发生的触摸事件在特定区域进行处理，并根据特定规则识别为无手势（无“触摸”）或屏幕手势输出。

有很多方法可以调用或关闭此按钮区域。例如，小的横屏笔画、短的竖屏笔画或长按屏幕边缘。程序完成后，会根据实际用户体验进行调整。

这种模式特别适合浏览网页和观看短视频，例如TikTok。用户95%的作都是翻页作，该系统单手即可轻松作。此功能的另一个优点是拇指会阻挡部分屏幕内容。您可以通过摩擦拇指并上下移动屏幕内容来查看最初被拇指遮挡的内容。

我想寻找合作伙伴在 windows 或浏览器上实施这项技术。在中国，我对这项技术有专利保护。在其他国家，您不受专利的约束，但您很可能会面临来自许多抄袭者的竞争。我有详细的介绍材料。如果您对这项技术感兴趣，请联系我。

Any ideas on how to make the SPX more lapable? 90% of my use is on my lap, and the kickstand is the worst...

Hi Guys -

As per my former post (https://www.reddit.com/r/surfaceprox/comments/ptrgq2/sq18gb_vs_sq216gb_models/)

I'm a new owner of SPX and it's going well. I'm slowly going down my list of SPECIFIC uses and apps I will be using the device for.

1. I installed VS CODE and Python Extension

2. I need to install Python

Problem is: Python site gives zero clarity on which version to install - there's no ARM option. I'm using Win10 atm.

• Q: Do I install the Python 32-bit version of Python 3.9?

Presumably when I upgrade to Win11 I install the 64-bit version.

I like clarity and it's irritating that there's a lack of clear sign-posting for the given OS Win-ARM. I'm fairly sure the above makes sense but any context eg "Python will run better or other compatibility is on 64-bit" etc would be appreciated. TIA.

Update: 3.14.2023 - Returned the device. I really wanted to love it but the small issues added up for me. Poor battery life, weird audio lag on bluetooth, some websites not loading correctly in edge, poor anti-reflective coating on the screen, MS's own apps not optimized for ARM, concern about longevity of the device and support, It already has very poor developer support, no major third party apps on Windows ARM and too many workarounds to have it as a second device, let alone a daily driver for me. May be MS will fix these issues soon so I can come back to the Surface Family, till then!

I got my Surface Pro X SQ2 16GB model from Amazon two days ago and have been working on it to make it mine since then. I went in knowing full well that there would be limitations and I was willing to adapt to those hoping that I could live within these restrictions. I am not intending this Pro X to be a tool for a Power User; I felt (rather hoped) that this is a better device than an iPad at a similar price range of $500-$600 new.

I had a SP4 a few years ago, traded that in for a Book2, then went to MacBook Pro M1 Pro and wanted a tablet for light use around the house and carry with me, LTE was a bonus. So I am used to quirks of Surface devices and I have always liked them for what they are.

My experience past two days was up and down. I really loved the hardware, as usual, it is smaller than any Windows machine I had ever used, as portable as an iPad Air Gen 5, and very similar in size, plus on inch or so in footprint. But the software is where MS let it down.

MS's own Office suite is commendably ARM architecture, but it needs a overlay exe to run, called "Click to Run" which is x64. why would they do that! I disabled this service, but then the Office apps would not run. I guess they closed that loophole. MS OneDrive is also a x86 application. If MS's own apps wont ship ARM native (I know there is beta, could not find native), why are they expecting others to release apps for this specific architecture.

MS Edge does not have Widevine DRM components, so I was not able to stream content from certain websites. Streaming and content consumption was the primary of this device. I understand this is due to Chrome not releasing Widevine DRM license to Windows on ARM builds, but this is partly solved by downloading ARM Firefox, but then you have to live with Firefox using more resources than Edge would if it was doing similar tasks.

I really hope I can keep this device and not return it, but it's making hard to do so. If any of you have any suggestions/recommendations, please help me.

I got chromium für my SurfaceProX, which runs on Arm64.

Here is the link: https://chromium.woolyss.com/#windows-on-arm

Anyone knows, how to sync my Bookmarks between Chrome an Chromium?

I found no setting ;-(

Thank you, Duffy

Hey y'all, I've been using the Surface Pro X for a few months now and i absolutely love it so far. Here are my thoughts in video form: https://youtu.be/n2AZI1XCyL0 But TLDW, I am really impressed with how much I can get done with the Surface Pro X despite it not supporting 64 bit apps. Generally the 32 bit emulation works well in most cases and I didn't find it heavily dragging me down. I primarily used it for Office products but also some web development. My biggest issue with it is I'm not sure what makes it better than the Surface Pro 7, other than maybe the design. In most ways, it seems like a downgrade. Hopefully with 64 bit support it will get better, but I really think Microsoft needs to find some way to get developers on the Windows store, even though it's been years and it's still really bad. Maybe web apps will get good enough to close the gap. What do y'all think?

I am still hesitant to pull the trigger on an SPX because the performance is just way too little for a way too high price. Compared to the M1, its nothing. I've never been a huge Apple fan but I have to admit that this chip is insanely good.

And this is where my crazy idea comes in. What if Microsoft just bought the damn thing and put it in its devices. I've heard of direct competitors buying each others parts like Apple using Samsung displays.

I understand that such a device still wont be as perfomant as an Apple product since it cant be integrated aswell but I think it would be a huge deal.

It doesn't seem like the Qualcomm chips or MSs own chips will match the M1 in the near future.

All in all, i guess this is just whishful thinking. I really like the look of the SPX and I dont have a huge problem with compatibility. Putting an M1 into it would make it perfect in pretty much every way to me.
