First, let's talk about the Surface Laptop Go. This model is meant to be a more affordable version of the devices from the Surface Laptop series, so its specs are a bit more modest.

It comes with a 12.4-inch touchscreen display with a max resolution of 1536x1024.

While the Surface Laptop Go is meant to be affordable, Microsoft was quite generous in the feature department.

It also comes with a USB-C port, USB-A port, and supports WiFi 6 along with Bluetooth 5.0.

Moving on, there's the Surface Pro X, a premium tablet that is equipped with an ARM CPU. It uses a Microsoft SQ 1 and SQ 2, which are both custom chipsets developed by Qualcomm. Besides that, the tablet comes with up to 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 512GB of SSD storage. As for the display, it's a 13-inch touchscreen with a max resolution of 2880x1920 resolution. Since it's using an ARM chipset, this device will run Windows on ARM.

In terms of features, the Surface Pro X has dual USB-C ports, Gigabit LTE support, studio-class mics, wireless charging (for the slim pen), and a built-in kickstand. It also has stereo speakers that support Dolby Atmos and a 10MP camera at the back that supports 4K video recording.
