Earlier this month, Microsoft announced both the seventh generation Surface Pro 7 and the Surface Pro X. The X is probably the most interesting update in the Surface Pro's recent history, with a slimmer profile, larger screen, thinner bezels and plenty of new internals. The Surface Pen and detachable keyboard remain optional -- and somewhat pricey -- accessories, though Microsoft tells me that a large percentage opt to get the type cover keyboard, with fewer opting for the pen.
