Other factors like construction materials, the size and shape of the keycaps, and how heavily you type also contribute to typing noise.

Mechanical switches are the loudest by far, with scissor switches and rubber dome switches as quieter alternatives. Most of the noise keyboards make comes from the operation of the switches. Thankfully, innovations have been made to reduce the noise of keyboards, from the development of silent mechanical switches to the addition of sound-dampening foam inside keyboard cases. Ever since the IBM Model M first clicked its way into offices, keyboards have been the main tool for just about anyone seated in front of a computer. Windows Hello works swiftly and reliably to log you in, and thanks to the bundled fast charger a 30-minute charge will boost the battery by around 35% – just about enough for half a day’s work.If you've ever been to an office or a lecture hall, you know the sound of dozens of people typing on keyboards can be as loud as a herd of buffalo and just as distracting. It offers an always-on, phone-like experience and LTE means you’ll get emails and notifications even when out of Wi-Fi range. If you don’t find any dealbreakers when checking through your app list, then the Surface Pro X could be exactly what you’re looking for. So, it will really depend upon what you want or need to do that will determine if a Surface Pro X is right for you. So you might want to use Microsoft’s latest Edge browser instead of Google Chrome. This means there’s also a penalty in battery life: run exclusively older x86 Windows apps and you’ll see around seven hours of battery life instead of the circa 10-12 hours you’ll get when running apps optimised for ARM.

But you will notice that traditional Windows apps aren’t as snappy as running native ARM64 apps because 32-bit x86 apps is done using an emulation mode. You’d be right to expect great performance given what the Pro X costs, but this is another sticking point.
