The 2019 Microsoft Surface Pro X has seen some important changes while still keeping some of the good stuff from its predecessor – Microsoft Surface Pro 7. The well-known Microsoft Surface Pro series of 2-in-1 PCs is back with a lot of bangs and controversies as well.

The battery takes around an hour and a half to fully charge, which is as long as some smartphones. These numbers are impressive, though not the 10.5 hours of battery life quoted by Microsoft. Moreover, it took around 3 hours and 15 minutes to hit 50% battery life.

The Surface Pro 7’s battery lasted just shy of 7 hours with a 1080p video on loop at max brightness and 50% volume. No matter how hard they blow, these fans are not enough to keep the Surface Pro 7 cool when the screen brightness is cranked up. The fans constantly run and the upper back gets uncomfortably hot to touch when the screen brightness is set to 100%. Surprisingly, the Surface Pro 7 kept up nicely while editing RAW photo edits with little to no lag for 2 hours across Adobe Lightroom and PhotoshopĪll of this activity quickly generates a lot of heat.
