I know it sounds crazy, cuz even the top pinned article suggesting don't go for the SP10, wait for the consumer version, but after some digging and consideration, I end up pre-ordered the SP10.

I have been look for the SP for more than years, the last SP I have was SP3, it's ages ago, although the previous experience on the SP3 is not that great, but after some research and test with the demo machine on the retail shop, I have been loved the SP9 and planned to buy it last year. But rumors said the SP10 will come out on Sep 2023 ... (you know what happened next)

And here I am.

I think I will do a benchmark test and based on different side of usage to review the new SP10 after I received it. To let everybody know if the SP10 is worth the money. Stay tune!

I still have my Duo. It's my e-reader. I wish Microsoft had continued to develop it.

Serious question, not a joke. Microsoft tried to make Windows on ARM for who knows how many years. First two surface tablets. Surface Pro X. Surface 9 on ARM. Now we are expecting Surface 10 in May with articles full of excitement about them. Yet every previous attempt was disasterous or at least dissapointing with mostly "avoid to buy" or "buy intel version" reviews. Why people suddenly are excited? What has changed? Why should it work this time?

I needed a new, proper laptop after I got my Steam deck to replace my gaming laptop. I got an iPad as a gift in 2018, but I hardly ever used it; whenever I wanted to use it, the battery would be dead because I did not use it for weeks or months, mainly because I used my phone and my laptop for movies and browsing the web.

So I went to Best Buy for a new laptop, and I remembered that I always wanted a Surface Pro as a kid. So, I traded my iPad for $90 and bought the Surface Pro 9, which was $400 off, and I use it all the time.

I mainly use it for movies, web browsing, writing Word documents, and reading graphic novels, and it all looks fantastic on the 13-inch screen. However, most people argue that an iPad is better for those purposes, but having a tablet running Windows 11 feels so much better, and yeah, I do use it as a tablet most of the time.

It is hard to hold, but using Windows 11 with a touch screen feels natural and easy. Although the battery can drain pretty quickly, it does charge fast.

This is one of the best PCs that I have ever had.

As you all know, this report by Windows Central dropped yesterday:

The new Surface Pro 10 with Arm (codenamed OEMMN) will feature all the same display improvements as the earlier Surface Pro for business customers but with the addition of an OLED display panel. The design is expected to remain roughly the same as the Surface Pro 9, with one or two minor tweaks.

The Surface Laptop 6 with Arm (codenamed OEMBR) will include a more significant design refresh compared to the Surface Laptop 5, with thinner display bezels and rounded corners, an updated haptic touchpad that’s larger, and a new selection of ports, including two USB-C and one USB-A on the left.

Both of these devices will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite-based SoC, and I’m told Microsoft is very excited about the performance and efficiency gains these chips deliver compared to the chips found in Surface Pro 9 and Surface Laptop 5. Internally, the company describes these PCs as rivaling the performance and efficiency of Apple’s iPad Pro and MacBook Air.

I am unsure if there will be Intel variants of these devices for consumers.

That last statement is particularly notable. It means there is a possibilty that SP10 and SL6 will come only in the ARM versions.

The ARM chip that will power the SL10 and SL6 is the Snapdragon X Elite. Compared to Intel's best offering right now (Meteor Lake), the Snapdragon X Elite has both better performance and better efficiency. Hence the only virtue of releasing an Intel version would be x86 compatibility.

Considering that Microsoft is also set to release the SP9+ and SL5+ which are powered by Meteor Lake and targeted at businesses, it makes less sense to also release Meteor Lake versions of the consumer devices (SP10 and SL6).

x86 compatibility is important for businesses, but less so for consumers. Considering that Windows On ARM has a decent suite of native apps, and with a decent x86 emulator (powered by strong hardware in the form of the Snapdragon X Elite), users might have generally good experience.

Having only the ARM versions will also allow Microsoft to much more clearly and squarely target the iPad and Macbook, with incredible battery life and thermal properties. Having an Intel version could muddy the waters, as the Intel versions will quite certainly have worse battery life and thermals.

That's my thoughts. Thanks for reading.
