Microsoft also says that touch targets have been enlarged and intuitive visual cues have been added for making the entire touch interaction process easier for users. For example, when you detach the keyboard on the Surface Pro X to use it in the Tablet mode, instead of the UI entirely altering itself as it'd do in earlier Windows versions, the overall interface remains the same and it just gets more spaced apart which should make it easier to interact using touch. The features were shown off on the Microsoft Surface Pro X.įirst and foremost, touch friendliness in Windows 11 has been greatly improved.

The company has now uploaded a video from its livestream yesterday, detailing those improvements. The keyboard alone will set you back $98.99, which is a real bummer.At its launch event yesterday, Microsoft briefly discussed some of the new improvements the new Windows OS is bringing to the table for touchscreen devices. The only drawback is that it doesn’t come with a keyboard or pen. The 13-inch PixelSense touchscreen also has a resolution of 2880×1920, so visuals should be nice and vibrant. It’s not the most powerful machine we’ve ever seen, but that’s not what it was designed for, and at a whopping $940 off, that’s an acceptable trade-off.

You should be able to zip through most day-to-day tasks like surfing the web, responding to e-mail, and so on, though Arm-based processors sometimes hiccup with apps downloaded from somewhere other than Windows 11’s Microsoft Store. The Surface Pro X features Qualcomm-powered Microsoft SQ 2 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage. Not only does it weigh a measly 1.7 lbs, but it’s also surprisingly sturdy for such a portable device. That’s a whopping 62 percent off of the original price. Microsoft’s Surface Pro X tablet, which typically costs $1,499.99 at full price, is on sale for $549 at Woot’s Amazon store. To say I was shocked when I spotted this deal is an understatement.
