More than anything though, the whole operating system and interaction with the device feels smooth. Being able to snap windows to the top and bottom halves of the screen in portrait orientation is great, and the new touch gestures (while still a touch janky) are awesome for navigating multiple desktops and running applications. 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.
