Xiaomi Book S 12.4 Vs. Surface Pro X: Which Windows Tablet Is Best?
The Book S 12.4 is Xiaomi's first Windows tablet powered by an ARM chip and while its specs look good on paper, are they good enough to take on Microsoft's Surface Pro X? Since the Windows-on-ARM project was announced years ago, all of the devices that have launched under the program have been powered by Qualcomm chips. However, in November of 2021, MediaTek made it known that it intends to make chips for Windows like it does for Chromebooks.
The first Surface Pro X was released in 2019 and is powered by the Microsoft SQ 1, a custom chip that's based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx Gen 1. In 2020, Microsoft released a new variant of the tablet that featured a new processor, the Microsoft SQ 2, based on the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2.

Xiaomi offers the Book S in Dark Gray while the Surface Pro X is available in Platinum and Matte Black.
The Surface Pro X has a 13-inch (2880 × 1920) PixelSense Display, and thanks to its 3:2 aspect ratio, it is not as wide as the Xiaomi Book S 12.4 and its smaller 12.35-inch (2560 × 1600) display. Those who
