Battery life on the Surface Pro 11 with Arm-based Snapdragon X Plus processor mirrors that of its Intel predecessor, delivering around eight hours of mixed workload usage—a result that's underwhelming compared to more advanced x86 or AMD alternatives. However, it outperforms Intel models during intensive tasks like creative work, offering a longer lifespan for power users engaged in such activities.
The Surface Pro 11 supports app compatibility with Arm-compatible versions of most non-Microsoft software; however, certain legacy programs and services may not run due to their x86 origins. Google Drive's desktop application is one notable example requiring an update or workaround for full functionality on the device.
The tablet introduces Microsoft’s innovative AI tools exclusive to Copilot+ PCs—including a web-based chatbot Copilot, Cocreator art enhancement in Paint, and live captions with automatic translation (though subject to privacy limitations). While the Surface Pro 11 is praised for its repairability and environmental consciousness, reflected by an eight out of ten from iFixit's assessment and Microsoft's recycling initiatives.
In terms of pricing, the starting model features a Snapdragon X Plus processor with an LCD display, while the high-end option boasts an OLED screen along with Flex keyboard options—the latter coming at a premium price point compared to alternative PC or Mac models available in the market.
