They might not have the deepest travel but the large backlit keys on the Signature Keyboard are bouncy and tactile. Microsoft makes the best detachable keyboards and you can me all you want. Microsoft Surface Pro X keyboard and touchpad A good pair of Bluetooth headphones or wireless speakers are needed to get the full impact of the song, still, the Pro X hung in there with clear vocals even at maximum volume and a good balance between the treble, mids and lows. The tablet put up an admirable effort with Jessie Reyez' 'NO ONE'S IN THE ROOM,' a trickier song that blends deep bass tones with fragile vocals disrupted by a thumping rhythm. The Pro X captured the airiness of the song and Vannucchi's delicate vocals, which blended nicely with the electric instrumentation.

I had no problems hearing Joe Vann singing 'Can You Be Mine,' a soft, ethereal song, as I hand-washed dishes with the Surface Pro X playing in an adjacent room. I'm also really impressed by how loud these speakers get. Everything I listened to was crisp and detailed, and while there isn't much of a low end, I enjoyed listening to music from a wide range of genres. The dual speakers flanking the Pro X's display sound great. Peaking at 420 nits of brightness, the Surface Pro X is brighter than the Surface Pro 7 (395 nits) and the category average (359 nits), but the iPad Pro (484 nits) wins this round again. Working outside on the Surface Pro X shouldn't be a problem. With sRGB coverage of 104%, the Surface Pro X doesn't quite match the newest iPad Pro (123%). The gilded gold in some of the opulent venues shown throughout the trailer shimmered while the rich colors in the velvet red and green dresses made it clear that the costumes designers put a lot of effort into making this feel like the early-1900s.Īccording to our colorimeter, the Surface Pro X's display covers 73.7% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, making it more colorful than the panel on the Surface Pro 7 (68.8%) but less vivid than the premium average (84.1%). The screen was so detailed that I could see every outline of Djimon Hounsou's shredded body during a knife-fighting scene in The King's Man trailer while the dot-shaped scars on his shoulder left me curious about the character's origins.
