You might recall that the Surface Pro 6 was basically a spec bump (to Intel eighth-gen) and a new color variant (Black), but it was still considered a product refresh. Microsoft isn't shy about how minor of a refresh this is. The other big change in the Pro X is that it comes in a new, beautiful Platinum color. Just like the Microsoft SQ1 was based on the Snapdragon 8cx, the SQ2 is based on the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2, and the 8cx Gen 2 is already a minor update on the 8cx. The big internal change is that it comes with an SQ2 chipset instead of an SQ1. To be clear, this is a very minor refresh.

It was my favorite PC of 2019, and thanks to a minor refresh, it's my favorite PC of 2020 too. Almost exactly a year ago, I reviewed the original Surface Pro X saying that it's the perfect portable PC (for me).
