    Chromebooks are good
    Just for a lower price point you get the same performance in comparison to the one with arm chip

      Lol if anyone is smart, they WOULDN’T buy the arm version

    Is there a fan in the ARM Version?

      Nope

    How is this the review when there’s no battery test? You folks really couldn’t wait another day or two just to perform some testing?

    • Francis Mulleady

      Just an opinion piece isn’t it? Agree totally with you!

      With the 12th Gen Intel model at 120Hz refresh, 60% brightness, bluetooth pairing on, and using the active pen, realistically you are looking at ~4 hours give or take.
      I’d say that’s not too bad. But some people may find that lacking, which is why we have a market full of whole variety of 2-in-1 laptops.

      Over the years, the Surface Pro lineup has _never_ been about long battery life. The premium price is more about justifying convenience you get from that size and form factor.

      October 28, 2022 at 5:53 pm

      8 is still great with better battery and a headphone jack!!

    • ChuyIsTheShiz

      October 28, 2022 at 5:57 pm

      @Pieceof Shitzu For real. I thought it was weird they got rid of it on the 9.

    How is this even a review? There is nothing in here that’s different from a hands-on video? Seems like this video was simply put up to say “first”.

    One of the worst videos from a tech site
    No data is provided throughout the video
    What issues have u faced with arm? How much performance percentage penalty u get with translation layer?
    At last not a review just looks like hands on video

  15. h1a8

    October 28, 2022 at 8:08 pm

    Can we use full pc MS office apps with the arm version? I’m an advanced user of Excel. Ipads and Android tablets do not offer the full pc versions.

    • ReaperStriker184

      October 28, 2022 at 8:46 pm

      They are the same and native so they will run fine and exactly as x86, but add ons can be an issue

    • h1a8

      October 28, 2022 at 11:24 pm

      @ReaperStriker184 Thanks that’s what I meant. I use 3rd party add ons for advanced features

  16. Francis Mulleady

    October 28, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    I’m sorry, the title is misleading. It’s a brief overview of the 5G version, nothing close to a proper review. I expect more from CNET.

    Who said Apple products were expensive???!

    • Daniel Rodriguez

      October 28, 2022 at 10:54 pm

      The comparable iPad Pro in terms of size, starts at $1099, so higher than the SP9, and is $1,299 with cellular, tied with the SP9 with 5G. All these configs consider 128GB. If you adjust the capacity in most configs the iPad Pro is more expensive if you select the 12.9 inch which is the comparable model.

      The Magic Keyboard and Magic Keyboard Folio are $299 and $249. The keyboard for the SP9 is $179.

      The Apple Pencil is $129, Surface Pen $129. Tie here.

      If you purchase the SP9 Keyboard + Pen as a bundle, $279, significant savings vs the iPad accesories.

      Base iPad Pro with accesories – $1,527
      Base SP9 with accesories – $1,278

      PS. Not arguing that the SP9 is cheap. That being said, there’s around 19.5% difference in cost in similar configs. That’s not a small amount.

    • Karthik R

      October 29, 2022 at 10:46 am

      @Daniel Rodriguez It’s high time we compare this against Macbook Air. Its not a Samsung Tablet! We need more performance from processors at this price range.

    • Kerri

      October 29, 2022 at 2:51 pm

      ​@Karthik R that’s not a appropriate comparison. MacBook Air is just a laptop that has no touchscreen nor pen support.

    Very good information. Suggestion, eliminate the background music. It is beyond me why YouTube content creators think it necessary playing music over their voice. The music quickly becomes extremely annoying. Keep in mind, we came to hear you, we do not want to fight intrusive music.

    October 29, 2022 at 1:52 am

    Expectations were high for the surface pro 9. No design change at all. Common it’s 2022 look at those ugly bezels. And they hae not improved the battery life.
    The price is way to high for what it’s offering. Keyboard and pen 2 are good. Microsoft really needs to consider the price when launching these devices with the same body as last year.

    • Karthik R

      October 29, 2022 at 10:43 am

      What design change? It’s like Surface X hybrid which is lovely. Ofcourse the price is too high when Macbook air can perform best and this having software compatibility issues with Arm.

    • Christian Polychroniadis

      October 29, 2022 at 10:52 am

      battery life it is a way better on this model

    Arm is gimped, needs to be x86 for full features.

    October 29, 2022 at 3:11 am

    The Surface Pro 10 NEED to have thinner bezels. Those thick bezels are holding me off from buying it. Ugly.

      The iPad Pros and other tablets have figured it out even with a front facing camera. Microsoft is just saving cost from not thinning those bezels. 🥴. Not in this day and age.

    Got two Surfaces Pro in the last two years, both of them died (hardware problem). Btw, sound is always terrible on your videos (and please stop the background music).

    Sadly the WOA SP9 is way too expensive. $1300 plus $300 for extras. That is an easy pass. Save $300 and get the safer Intel SP9.

    Everyone needs more than their salary to be financially stable in this current economy. The best thing to do with your money is to Invest it rightly because money left for savings always ends up used with no returns.

    I am on my 2nd Surface. Just wait a bit, November, December, or 2023 and there will be bundles that either reduce the cost of the Surface itself, or the accessories (Kybd and Pen). Don’t buy everything at full retail. I’ve bought from MS Store and Best Buy and have gotten deals each purchase. For a home PC I love that it can be a tablet, laptop, or docked depending on what I am doing.
