Microsoft Surface Pro 4 vs Apple iPad Pro: Who's The Boss?

In an uncharacteristic turn, both the iPad Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil are displaying shipping availability of four to five weeks on the Canadian Apple Store.

About an inch longer than a standard sheet of paper, the Pro features a 12.9-inch diagonal display, giving it 78 percent more surface area than the 9.7-inch iPad Air 2. The iPad Pro has just come out, although T-Mobile will be having the new Apple tablet later this November; AT&T and Verizon have announced plans for the Apple tablet as well.

Designed with professionals in mind, the Pro is Apple's way of reaching new consumers as sales of iPads - and tablets in general - decline.

The device won't meet the needs of all businesses and their respective employees' preferences, of course, but the company says advancements in the iPad Pro will give workers a new opportunity to reflect on what they use for work and whether the new iPad is a fit for their work life. Yet, Microsoft made a decision to continue to add to the Surface line with the Surface Pro 3 and Surface Pro 4.

Did you order a new iPad Pro, and any accessories? The desktop version of both apps can do far more, including keeping multiple documents open at once. On Day One, the iPad Pro is a bit like a 13-inch iPod touch - which is to say it doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense. However, setting the Fingerprint ID up is the same process for either Microsoft tablet version. Also, someday that future may very well arrive, and we'll all look back on the iPad Pro as an important step in that shift. The iPad Pro can also be ordered from AT&T's website or its stores. It can, at times, feel like more of a burden or interruption than a feature. Logitech was able to get me its new £110 Create keyboard case for the iPad Pro on Monday, and I quickly started using it exclusively and left the Smart Keyboard behind. As Apple stated on their official site, "The more gigabytes you have, the more content you can store on your iPad - apps, HD videos, movies, photos, books, magazines, and more".
