Not long ago we had access to information about the new Microsoft Surface Pro, this time from Redmond they have decided to snatch the numbers from the name of the new product, something like what Apple has done with the iPad section, simply calling it «iPad ». Microsoft continues to work hard, and is actually creating very high-quality products that are not quite popular with the public, for one reason or another. Nevertheless, what Microsoft has made clear is that its Surface is no longer going to be a rival to the iPad, if it ever was.
The Redmond company has been trying to sell the bike that the Surface is actually a iPad Killer, And anything farter from the reality. We are not going to deny that this 2-in-1, if we can call it that, is a product of proven performance and quality., despite the fact that Microsoft has wanted to continue betting on the almost obsolete USB 3.1, leaving behind the tiny and versatile USB-C that all brands are betting on and that has so much to offer us.
It hides inside 128GB of storage, 4GB of storage and an Intel Core M3 processor for the entry version, which part of the 799 dollars, We can continue to fatten the product up to 1TB of storage, with an Intel i7 processor and 16GB of RAM, but we are already launching at $ 2.699.
What do we mean by this? That without a doubt the Surface Pro is neither nor will it ever be a rival for the iPad, neither in its Pro version nor in its classic version. The statement may sound daring, but if you listened to our Podcast a few days ago, you will have realized that the iPad is a tablet that represents a tablet, however, The Surface Pro is a computer disguised as a tablet no matter how well the guys at Microsoft want to sell it to us.
Why isn't the Surface Pro a tablet and the iPad is?
Despite the fact that with the Pro version of the iPad the Cupertino company has wanted to relaunch a product that is increasingly abandoned in the pure professional sector, we can never stop taking into account that we are facing a mobile operating system, iOS has capabilities, exactly the capabilities that Apple gives it, since in terms of hardware it is more than proven that the iPad Pro is a true beast. Nevertheless, the iPad in any of its versions continues to appeal to the principles of versatility and consumerism that have always characterized itThat's right, the iPad is designed to entertain us, to accompany us, so that we consume content, so that it does not bother under the arm ...
On the other hand we have Microsoft's Surface Pro, a «tablet»Which has an integrated fan in almost all its versions, a tablet that has a desktop operating system, which despite including« tablet mode », those of us who work with Windows 10 every day know that it is far from being a touch environment. We continue with a "tablet" that is practically pointless without its main accessory, a keyboard with an integrated trackpad that costs around 100 euros and is closely linked to the previous note. By last, How can we say that a device with USB 3.0 is a tablet in the middle of the year 2017? It is seriously difficult to make this claim.
I do not want to sound pretentious, the Surface Pro is still an exceptional product, but Microsoft has not done the office work well, because absolutely no one who has in mind to acquire an iPad would end up opting for a Surface Pro under any path that fate may have. prepared, and the same in a different sense. The Surface Pro is a "mini notebook" or a "tableteen", but clearly it is too much product for those who only want a tablet. It is because of that The Microsoft Surface Pro is no match for the iPad, and clearly the iPad (in none of its versions) is a rival to the Microsoft Surface Pro, they are so different products that they don't play in the same league.
I see that you have not understood anything at all ...
It is clear that the surface is much superior to the ipad in performance, but microsoft wants to sell the surface as a tablet, when it is a computer in the form of a tablet. The market for tablets in the form of tablets is the ipad at the moment, and I understand that the title of the article refers to that, to the market for tablets, not for the benefits ...
Well, I agree with David. And if it is a problem to understand, I think that "that without a doubt the Surface Pro is not and will never be a rival for the iPad, neither in its Pro version nor in its classic version" speaks for itself.
Whether it is a computer disguised as a tablet or not, if they both mention that they are not the same products, why so much comparison? Perhaps what they had to say is that neither the iPad nor the iPad Pro can ever be rivals to the Surface.
Indeed, it seems that you have not understood anything
As the author says, they cannot be compared because the surface is not a tablet and the ipad pro is not a laptop
Before belittling a job make sure that you have understood it well or at least express your complaints correctly and without bad language

Not at all, it intends to sell it as a 2 in 1 which is what it is, and it shits for the iPad in all aspects ALL

I completely agree that they do not see things objectively, the Surface Pro is both, both a tablet and a laptop for professional use without being a mobile workstation, when Apple tells you that an ipad pro is more powerful than a macbook air, if so, why can't you load Mac OS ??? So let's put it in context and things as they are, Surface is better than any iPad, dare I even say better than a Mac Book
Holder or presentation of the Ipad Pro if you go to apple.es right now:
It is not a computer. It is a supercomputer »
I don't know, I think what Apple is trying to sell me is a tablet-shaped computer. In other words, an ultra-portable device ... But hey, the tablet-shaped computer is Surface seems to be ...
The number of users who have opted for a tablet instead of a laptop, not because of the possibilities, which are not few in a tablet, but because of the portable format and above all, "touch". I have never seen that Microsoft wants to compete with Ipad, it is very clear that it runs Windows, it goes without saying that it is a super powerful OS that can hardly envy a mobile OS (Ex: iOS) and I think that is where the Surface is headed .
For a change, both on this page and in applesfera, it seems that the articles are written not with ink, but with bile ... for this type of personal opinions, better save the opinion article and download the hate in your respective twitter ... Here I enter reading news and articles of rigor, has not read how a guy has started to analyze a product of the "competition" and has decided to vomit his bile on his precious Macbook ... Probre Macbook ...
