"My experience says some of that caution is justified. Windows on Arm has matured significantly in the past few years, and if your everyday work involves creating and editing Office documents and working with web-based services, you'll encounter no productivity issues. As a bonus, you'll get a machine that rarely (if ever) gets more than mildly warm, and battery life will be a pleasant surprise."
"To my surprise, that Surface Pro 11 turned out to be a capable addition to my collection of computing devices, and I used it as my everyday work machine for about six months. Since then, I've acquired two more PCs that have Arm-based processors instead of the traditional Intel CPU -- a Surface Laptop and a Dell XPS 13, both equipped with Snapdragon X Elite chips."
Surface Pro 11 performed well as an everyday work machine for about six months. Additional devices include a Surface Laptop and a Dell XPS 13 equipped with Snapdragon X Elite chips. Windows on Arm has matured and handles Office document creation, editing, and web-based services without productivity issues. These machines run cool and deliver notably good battery life. Some compatibility gaps remain, including potential inability of backup software to restore from external drives and obstacles for gamers or hobbyists attempting to dual-boot Linux. Third-party developers have addressed several shortcomings, supplying compatible VPNs and ports of important apps.
