Surface Pro X Elite OLED

Just got my sapphire Surface Pro 11 with Snapdragon X Elite up and fully configured. 16GB RAM with 500GB drive. Couple things to note. I use Quick Books which installed successfully and started, but complained about XPS document writer not being found. Had to go to Windows optional features and add it to Windows on Arm. Worked after that. Nord VPN outright told me it would not work. I need to find a new VPN for Arm eventually. My HP laser printer worked fine with HP Smart App. My InkJet will simply not work. No errors and it starts the printer up to make some initial noise but then never actually prints anything. I have installed and successfully run Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Corel Paintshop Pro, IIS for ASP development, Git, and tons of other apps. They all run and run very fast. I’m not a benchmark fan, but this configuration is very fast and responsive. Corel VideoStudio installed and tries to start then quietly closes. Battery is very good. I was installing like mad and had my old Surface Pro 8 on for reference to look at how things were configure. The Pro 8 died and was really not doing much real work, while the Pro 11 had 72% battery left. Fan noise – zero. I still have not heard it at all. OLED screen is amazing. I like how the corners of the display are rounded, I didn’t pick up on that detail from the early reviews. SSD is noticeably faster along with the faster WIFI (all compared to my 8 Pro). So far, I’m very pleased. I skipped the fancy new keyboard and reused the keyboard from my 8 Pro.
