Surface Pro 9 (Intel vs ARM) review: which one to buy?

Monica Chin reviewed both iterations of the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 and has a few reasons why the Intel version is still the better choice.

Surface Pro 9 review (ARM):

With an extremely lightweight build, 5G support, and good battery life, the Surface Pro 9 could be the perfect on-the-go device... Microsoft has that hardware part down to a science. But it still hasn’t figured out how to make Windows on Arm viable for the high-end mainstream.
