Navigating the OS, particularly when using the Pro X as a tablet is a genuinely good experience. Gorgeous screen, poor calendar integration in Windows 11. I wasn’t initially a fan, and still have some reservations (the start menu is atrocious, and the insidious dark-pattern BS of Bing inserting itself everywhere, and Edge being destroyed by bloat makes me wary of trusting Microsoft like I used to), but in terms of using the OS and running the programs I need to, it’s really helped the Pro X become more than it was. The second thing that changed was that Windows 11 was released.

Something that goes in and out of a pocket.Īt home, in an arm chair or at my desk, the Pro X is vastly superior to the Go 2 for reading papers, editing manuscripts, and browsing the web. What’s more, is that on the days I was going in, I either wasn’t getting the Go 2 out because the train was busy and it was still a bit of a faff getting it out of my bag, or if I was, the train was so empty that I could just as easily have got the Pro X out.Īs I mentioned in my Galaxy Flip 3 review/thoughts, I think I’m looking for something more like a Galaxy Fold for reading papers on the train. So the portability hasn’t been as big of an issue. While I’ve been going into work 3-4 days a week through the first Semester (Sept-Dec), I’ve also been working at home. (The Go 2 and Pro X were about equal in price second hand, so it cost me very little in the end). Then, two months ago, I bought the Pro X again and stuck the Go 2 back on eBay.

My reasoning was that it was about as powerful as the Pro X in most stuff, the Pro X had compatibility issues, and that the size of the Go 2 was just more convenient. I ended up replacing the Pro X with the Surface Go 2 just a month or so later. I was very happy with it, except for one thing – the size. One year ago, on Christmas eve 2020, I posted about the Surface Pro X.
