Needless to say, the war between Apple iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is totally on and prospective buyers have a tough choice to make. However, recent reports suggest that the Surface Pro 4 might be the better of the two.
“The launch of the iPad Pro offered CEO Tim Cook a chance to define large-screened computing to Apple’s advantage, but he has not made the best use of that opportunity. Instead it has been Satya Nadella who has delivered”, says Ewan Spence, a contributor for Forbes.
Both the devices comprise of unique features that aim to improve user experience. Business Insider’s Matt Weinberger provides the comparative reviews of the devices. He says that going by the appearance both look “super similar”. Some key observations made by Weinberger include:
- Optional Keyboard: While the Surface Pro 4's backlit keyboard and trackpad are quite handy, the iPad Pro's Smart Keyboard is a “little cramped” with no trackpad.
- iPad Pro has just the standard Lightning connector and Smart Connector for the keyboard, but no USB Port. Microsoft’s device has at least one USB port, a MicroSD slot for more storage and its charging cable has an additional USB port that can power devices up.
- The iPad Pro runs Apple iOS 9, with split-screen apps and can even have two apps open (can't have two of the same app open), with a video in the corner. Surface Pro 4, on the other hand runs Windows 10, supports as many apps open as you want and Windows helps assists by automatically splitting the screen evenly between as many as 4 apps.
- iPad Pro only supports apps, but since the Surface Pro 4 runs a full version of Windows 10, it can do 100% of the work one needs to do on a laptop.
“For the vast majority of cases, the Surface Pro 4 is a brilliant, lightweight, high-performance little beast of a machine that can run just about everything you need to get through the day. For me, personally, it's been just shy of the perfect computer”, Weinberger added.
Echoing same views Gary Krakow of The Street says that Surface Pro's Windows 10 operating system software really sets it apart. Giving a score 8.8 out of 10, he says that “When it comes to handling computer-intensive tasks Windows 10, running on an Intel processor, is still hard to beat.”
