Apple has ventured much in many areas. However it appears that it pays to wait for the Microsoft Surface Pro 4. According to a previous report by Window Central, "As it turns out Microsoft must be on to a good thing with the Surface Pro 3, because Apple reinterpreted a number of features we're already used to for its new, larger iPad. The Surface Pro comes with a keyboard dock, a pencil and the capability to run apps side by side.
Microsoft Surface Pro is a powerful device that even Apple wanted to overcome. Yibada reported earlier that Apple's iPad Pro has many features borrowed from Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 tablet and in many aspects, the former overwhelms the latter. Compared against the Pro 3, the giant iPad is a front-runner but hybrid device fans can still choose to wait for the next Windows 10-powered Surface Pro 4.
For those that are unaware of the specs surrounding the iPad Pro, Yibada detailed that the iPad Pro is a huge tablet that also doubles a work-friendly device. When linked to the Smart Keyboard, the tab transforms into MacBook Air clone that runs on iOS 9. Yibada further noted that the device offers a bevy of productivity features with easy control and navigation normally found on laptops.
One of the biggest difference for the two products is the operating system. One runs a mobile OS, one a full desktop OS. Another difference is the pricing. Window Central earlier posted that buyers are likely to spend over $1000 to get the full iPad Pro experience with Pencil and keyboard, while the Surface Pro 3 is at least marginally cheaper. Another difference is that the the processor that Surface Pro uses is an Intel Core i3/i5/i7 while the iPad Pro uses an Apple A9X.
The iPad Pro will not be released until November, so real-time evaluations will have to wait.
