6/14/2023 0 Comments Surface pro arm![]() ![]() Microsoft’s Arm chip, known as the “Microsoft SQ”, also has a neural processing unit (NPU) in it, for performing machine-learning-related tasks. In our standard test, which involves streaming YouTube continuously with the screen brightness set to 50 per cent, we got a battery life of 10 hours and 40 minutes, which is well short of Microsoft’s mixed-usage claim, but which is actually a very good result for that test, identical to that of the new iPad Pro. Video calling is where the Surface Pro 9 5G is at its best. Microsoft advertises that you get up to 19 hours of mixed-usage battery from the Surface Pro 9 5G, 3½ hours more than you get from the regular, Intel-based Surface Pro 9. ![]() On the plus side, Arm gives you great battery life. It runs an Arm processor, similar to what you will find in a phone or in an Apple iPad Pro, rather than the Intel-compatible processor found in most Windows PCs, and that has the potential to make a huge difference. But despite having a very similar name to the Surface Pro lineup, and despite looking almost identical to the new Surface Pro 9, the new Surface Pro 9 5G is actually a very different machine. ![]()
