Each device will also come standard with Gigabit LTE connectivity, which is becoming essential. As always, I will test that claim when I receive a review unit. Microsoft is claiming up to 15 hours of battery life across the Surface Pro X lineup. I will touch a little more on that later. The device is also part of Windows 10 on ARM, which Microsoft is continuing its momentum with app developers to create better user experiences. The new SQ 2 processor is a compelling reason to test the new Surface Pro X, and I am excited to get my hands on one and provide a full review later. The new increased performance ceiling comes with a hefty but competitive price tag of $1499.99 at the entry-level. The SQ 2 will come standard in only the top configurations of the Surface Pro X. Power users that push their devices to the limits will enjoy the expanded performance ceiling from this processor.

The most exciting part of the Surface Pro X announcement is the new, custom SQ 2 processor co-developed with Qualcomm technologies.
