why would they do that! I disabled this service, but then the Office apps would not run. MS's own Office suite is commendably ARM architecture, but it needs a overlay exe to run, called "Click to Run" which is 圆4. But the software is where MS let it 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. My experience past two days was up and down. So I am used to quirks of Surface devices and I have always liked them for what they are. 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. 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 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 got my Surface Pro X SQ2 16GB model from Amazon two days ago with recent discounts on and have been working on it to make it mine since then. May be MS will fix these issues soon so I can come back to the Surface Family, till then! 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. I really wanted to love it but the small issues added up for me.
