On other devices, including the Surface Pro X, the pen supports the same 4,096 pressure levels as the previous model and maintains compatibility with Surface devices going back to the Surface Pro 3. Microsoft has also updated the Surface Slim Pen-the $130 Slim Pen 2 moves the pen's button from the narrow side to the flat side and adds a haptic vibration motor to recreate the 'feeling you get with pen on paper.' That functionality, however, apparently requires the Microsoft G6 chip in the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Laptop Studio. The Surface Pro 8 has adopted most of the Surface Pro X's design improvements, but the Surface Pro X does remain slightly thinner, is totally fanless, and is about a quarter-pound lighter (1.7 lbs compared to 1.96 lbs before you add a keyboard or other accessories). Microsoft is, however, releasing a Wi-Fi-only model that brings the tablet's entry price down to $899 (compared to $999 for the LTE base model, which also includes a Microsoft SQ1 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage).

Microsoft has significantly revamped and upgraded the x86-based Surface Pro and Surface Go tablets today, but the ARM-based Surface Pro X isn't getting any hardware upgrades of note. Surface Pro X with LTE for Business: Windows 11 Pro on ARM CPU: Microsoft SQ 1, Microsoft SQ 2 Graphics: Microsoft SQ 1 Adreno 685 GPU, Microsoft SQ 2 Adreno 690 GPU Display: 2880 x.
