Microsoft’s latest 2-in-1 is all Arm, the closest the company has ever come to combining laptop power withSurface Pro 11 tablet battery
life and flexibility. But x86 chips are too power hungry, and Arm chips are too slow. So Microsoft split the Surface line in two: a fast, short-lived x86-powered Surface, and a slow, long-lived Arm-powered Surface. But choosing between the two was never a dream of mine.
The Surface Pro 11 is supposed to have it all. And for the first time, it really does. Thanks to the new Snapdragon X processor, it’s the first Arm-based Surface Pro that runs Windows and most apps without a hitch. Not only that, it’s incredibly fast. It’s beautifully built and incredibly repairable, and the new Flex Keyboard is simply magical.
I’ve been using the Surface Pro 11 as my primary computer for more than a month, abandoning my desktop, my work MacBook Air, and my iPad. They’re all better than the Surface Pro in at least one way or another. The desktop has better app compatibility, and its eight-year-old midrange GPU blows away the GPU in the Surface Pro. The MacBook has better battery life, a cleaner OS, and is more comfortable to use on your lap. The iPad is a far better tablet. The Surface Pro costs more than any of those two combined. But it’s good enough in the areas that matter, and it’s more flexible than any of them. It’s the closest Microsoft has ever come to fulfilling its dream. Most of the time, I got about eight hours of Surface Pro 11 tablet batterylife with the screen at about 50 or 60 percent brightness, and with all of Microsoft’s power-saving suggestions enabled, including dark mode and setting the Pro to sleep after three minutes of inactivity. One day, I got nearly 11 hours. But with great power comes great power. Applications that really push the processor, like our Cinebench benchmark, eat into Surface Pro 11 tablet batterylife—and for some reason, so do video calls.
Outside of video calls and benchmarks, I saw the battery drop by 9 or 10 percent every hour. When I was on a call, the Surface Pro 11 tablet battery
dropped twice as much, and on days with more meetings, it lasted nearly six hours on a charge. And the whole time, I was on a lousy charge.
Microsoft calls the Surface Pro a 2-in-1. But you can’t really get the two in one without compromising in some way. It’s less comfortable to hold than a laptop, less comfortable to use than a tablet, and it costs as much as to buy both. But there’s no better tablet for office work, and no more flexible laptop, especially now that you don’t have to choose between decentSurface Pro 11 tablet battery life and the ability to run real apps smoothly.
