Ngabe iMicrosoft Surface ithengisa kangcono kune-Apple's iPad?

Ukuthi i-iPad ayihambi ngesikhathi sayo esihle kakhulu kusobala. Ithebhulethi yakwa-Apple ikhule kabi ngokwedlulele kunoma imuphi umkhiqizo we-Apple osijwayele futhi ukuthengiswa kwe-iPad kuzo zonke izinhlobo zayo kungaphezu kokuqonda uma kuqhathaniswa nokwangezinye izikhathi. Ngaphandle kwalokhu, ungakhohliswa: i-iPad iyaqhubeka nokuthengisa kahle, noma ngabe izinombolo eziphansi kakhulu kunakuqala. Kodwa-ke, iMicrosoft eneSurface yayo ibonakala ithola indawo, ngakho-ke siyabona ukuthi siyayifunda yini i- izindatshana ezishicilelwe kuWinBeta, Forbes nakwamanye ama-blog abalulekile, athi iMicrosoft ikwazile ukushaya i-Apple ekuthengisweni kwamathebulethi. Wonke umuntu usheshile ukusho ukuthi i-Surface isivele iyithengisela ngaphandle i-iPad, kepha ake sibheke i-athikili yokuqala nokuthi ithini empeleni, sishiye izihloko zezindaba zamathebhu eceleni.

Ucwaningo okusetshenzwe kulo lezi zihloko lwenziwe yi-1010Data, futhi kulo siyabona ukuthi ngenyanga ka-Okthoba 2015 iMicrosoft Surface ithengiswe kakhulu ezitolo eziku-inthanethi kune-Apple iPad. Sikhuluma kuphela ngenyanga ka-Okthoba, futhi kuphela uma sibheka izitolo eziku-inthanethi e-United States, azikho izitolo ezibonakalayo noma ezingaphandle kwalelo zwe. Kodwa akugcini lapho ngemininingwane eshiywe lapha eshiya isifundo kancane "sibanjwe ngodlawana", kepha kufaka phakathi ukuthengiswa kweMicrosoft Surface ne-Surface Book. Uma sengivele ngicabanga ukuthi ukufaka i-Surface esigabeni esifanayo ne-iPad akulungile (eyokuqala i-laptop kune-tablet), uma sesivele sengeza i-Surface Book izinto ziba zimbi kakhulu, ngoba le ilaptop emsulwa futhi Kunzima futhi lokho okuncane (noma kunalokho akukho lutho) kuhlobene ne-iPad, hhayi ne-iPad Pro. Bekungeke yini kube okulungile ukwengeza ukuthengiswa kwama-MacBooks kulawo ama-iPads?, ngakho-ke babezoncintisana ngokulingana.

Ake sibheke nenyanga lapho konke kwenzeka khona: Okthoba. Futhi ake sibheke namagrafu. Ngenkathi iMicrosoft ihlukumezeka ngokumangalisayo isuka ku-25% yaya ku-45% ngenyanga eyodwa, kwehle i-Apple ngenyanga efanayo kusuka ku-35% kuya ku-17%. Akumangalisi ukuthi ekuqaleni kuka-Okthoba iMicrosoft yethule iSurface yayo entsha ngenkathi i-Apple ingazange yethule i-iPad Pro yayo kuze kube maphakathi noNovemba. Njengoba kwenzeka kaningi ngaphambi kokwethulwa komkhiqizo omusha, ukuthengiswa kwalabo abazobe "bephelelwe yisikhathi" kwehlisa ijubane ngaphambi kokufika okusha kwemisha emisha.

Kepha okuhle kunakho konke okusalayo: isifundo asisuselwe kumayunithi athengisiwe, kepha kunzuzo yokuthengisa. Okungukuthi, Ucwaningo luthi iMicrosoft ithengisa amaphilisi amaningi uma kufanele ithi yenza imali eningi, ikakhulukazi uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi iMicrosoft Surface inenani elimaphakathi lama- $844 kanti i-iPad ingama-$392. Eqinisweni, i-athikili yasekuqaleni ye-WinBeta ngokwayo ithi ngaphansi kwesinye sezithombe ezinamagrafu (futhi ngihumusha ngokwezwi nezwi):

IMicrosoft ingathengisa amaphilisi ambalwa online kune-Apple, kepha intengo yokuthengisa ephakathi yakwaMicrosoft iphindwe kabili.

Futhi ngukuthi ngezibalo esizisebenzisayo, i-Apple kufanele ithengise amayunithi aphindwe kabili kuneMicrosoft ukufanisa ukuthengisa ngokwalolu cwaningo, okungukuthi, lokho Yize i-Apple ithengisa amaphilisi amaningi kuneMicrosoft, njengoba eyeMicrosoft abiza kabili, yonke into engeke ithengiswe ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili iMicrosoft icabanga ukuthi kulolu cwaningo kuthiwa ithengisa ngaphezu kwe-Apple.

Ngishiya igrafu yokugcina yocwaningo kuze kube sekupheleni. Ukubheka izinyanga eziyishumi nambili zokugcina (hhayi kuphela inyanga ka-Okthoba), lokhu kuyathengiswa (ngigcizelela, ngemali, hhayi ngamayunithi) ohlobo ngalunye. Ngaphandle kokuthi iMicrosoft ifaka iSurface ne-Surface Book yayo kulesi sikhwama, ukuthi intengo emaphakathi yala "mathebhulethi" iphindwe kabili kunaleyo yakwa-Apple, Ukuthengisa kuka-Apple kuyaqhubeka nokuhola, kucishe kukuphindwe kabili lokho kweMicrosoft. Kepha lawa "minutiae" awanandaba lapho kushicilelwa i-athikili, ngoba njengoba besho, "iqiniso alonakalisi isihloko esihle."
