With the imminent release of Microsoft Surface Pro, Google News has been filled with articles comparing the iPad . But the idea of ​​comparing the iPad to the surface Pro – running the full version of Windows, the laptop has the technical specifications and prices start at about twice the entry level iPad – which shows a major violation of the iPad have been made in the PC industry.

In fact, the iPad and Surface Pro are two very different devices that have two very different audiences.

iPad a PC?

id =

There is little doubt that the best tablet surface is Pro Microsoft. OK, it is helpful if they only have one other tablets in their range, and the other tablet is a smaller version of the surface pro running lightweight operating system that is not compatible with Windows applications. But at least the Pro has a public area, something RT Windows failed to produce.

Surface Pro may take a bit of steam in the company, the tablet is an interesting idea, but the incompatibility with Microsoft software is a major hold-up in the tablet integration. The business environment is also able to overcome the weakness of the surface Pro, some of which are targeted at large keyboard cover on paper-but-bad-in-fact is the launch tower laptop. In a professional environment, it will be portability is important, and the ability to go from table to sit or stand desk in front of an audience.

Another demographic might find interesting is the local Pro who do not want a tablet but do not want their PCs to act more like a tablet. Ability to serve tablet that runs full Windows applications are bound to turn heads, but the public may be more interested in the tablet keyboard troubleshooting Windows thirds fragile.

If you upgrade to the Mini? iPad

On the other hand, calls the iPad for anyone who wants a tablet. He will not win any performance tests on surface Pro, which packs a faster processor and four times more RAM, but it also supports applications with a much smaller footprint. This means it is still too early for the end user and will last longer between charges. It also has a better set of cameras, one filled with the overflowing App Store software that usually costs only $ 1 – $ 5 instead of $ 30 – $ 60, a gyroscope and an accelerometer that developers will actually be made proper use and price that about half of the surface of the Pro.

iPad is perfect for use at home. This is fine for normal tasks like browsing the web, check Facebook, watch Netflix, play games, read books, etc., but also has made progress in the business sector. The iPad may be great for small businesses, with enough force to track inventory, maintain accounts and accept credit card payments. It has also found its way into big business, especially as a compliment to the Windows environment.

Surface Pro is ultrabook with a touchscreen, which can stimulate some people, but poor keyboard can be a deviation. Although the keyboard, I think it is a good machine for those who want a tablet like while keeping their Windows applications. But it will not take sales away from the iPad. The choice between the two is not new, it’s just a new version
