You clearly haven't realised that you're in the vast minority if you actually believe the iPad Pro and Surface are not direct competitors.
Humans eat fish, penguins eat fish. Humans and Penguins compete for the fish in the ocean. That doesn't make humans neither birds nor fish. Get real, competition has nothing to do with what you are. You are making one straw man after the other. Surface Pros are PCs, end of discussion.
My bet wasn't a look at me I'm right, it was a wait and see what the vast majority of reviewers, who know a lot more about it than you do, say.
I've read all those reviews myself and they don't know more than I do. The better reviewers specifically state that the Surface Pro is a notebook in the form of a tablet. Unlike the iPad Pro which is a tablet in the form of a notebook when you add the Smart Keyboard.
I'm still waiting for the "I have a degree in..." argument.
That's not an argument on whether two computers belong in the same category, but if it's that what you need. I have a degree in Computer Science at Technische Universität Berlin.
And honestly a picture from 2002 of Bill Gates? They made a touchscreen tablet device 8 years before Apple did.
And they named it a Tablet PC, because that's what it was and what the Surface Pro still is, an Intel-based PC, just like the newest Retina MacBook. You can install Windows 10 on the MacBook via Bootcamp and it will run all the same Windows apps and you can install OS X on the Surface and make it a Hackintosh. These are closely related devices using the same hardware and software technologies.
Great work genius. Microsoft won that race.
It's not a race if one competitor doesn't take part. The Americans weren't the first on the moon, they were the only ones at the moon. Russians didn't even try, instead they pioneered the first space station, a technology still useful today. The iPad of 2010 (which made people start caring about this form factor) was no Tablet PC, but just a big iPod Touch. And the iPad Pro directed at graphic designer still is no Tablet PC, but an even bigger iPod Touch.
Apple comes from small and power-efficient and goes to bigger and more powerful. Microsoft comes from hot and heavy energy wasters and goes to smaller and slower, less capable. They met in two devices you like to see as competitors. But because where they come from they are and act vastly different. A swimming bird doesn't start tasting like fish, no matter how good it swims.
Whatever childish point you were trying to make with that is completely moot. But I see again you resort to the childish "your argument is rubbish" with no fact to back it up. Are you 12?
Yes, I'm a twelve year old with a computer science degree. And I'm the one who resorts to childish arguments.
As I have repeatedly said, wait and see what reviewers actually compare the iPad Pro with. That's called fact.
No it isn't. Your displayed lack of reading comprehension makes waiting for additional literature pointless. Everything has been said. It's over now.
You saying a MacBook and a Surface are competitors is opinion. Not fact.
That's not what I've said. In fact I believe Macs are sufficiently superior to other PCs that they don't have real competition. What I've actually said is that MacBook and Surface both fall into the same category of portable PCs and therefor it's meaningful that one is higher on the holiday wish list than the other. Because they use so many equal parts they are also similar priced. Shoppers will likely only buy one or the other. And that's the competition for the same amount of money, not similar functionalities. The iPad Pro however, while being the most expensive tablet on earth is still quite cheap compared to a Surface Pro. If you think those two are in competition, it looks bad for Microsoft.
Just because you spout the same nonsense as a 12 year old, doesn't make it fact. Just makes you look like a 12 year old.
I understand you are quite proud of your old age.
Further proof you're in the minority is there has been nobody on here agree with you. Go back through the thread and see how many agree with me. Get over yourself.
Your reality distortion field is not working. Nobody agreed with you and if somebody did he would be equally wrong as you are.
