It's only a toy when I RDP into my Windows desktop and launch Steam and start playing Broforce with a wireless Xbox controller
I just love seeing this. It never gets old. Because it doesn't handle computing tasks like a typical computer (local storage file access, buggy software, bad battery life, constant updates of software and drivers, PORTS!) it must be a toy.

The future of computing leaves all of that crap behind. Sure there are certain professions that need access to software that the iPad cannot handle, and for them it isn't the best option. But for the vast majority of users, the iPad Pro is more than capable of being a complete computer replacement.
Calling it a toy just because it doesn't handle tasks like a traditional pc is a bit short sighted.
What year is this? 1995? Drivers? Bad battery life??? I don't know what kind of "typical computers" have you been using lately (PCs with Windows maybe?) but I don't have those problems on my Macs.
I have an iPad Pro and while it is a really nice tablet, I still think it's mostly a toy because the only thing it does best is entertainment. I've been trying using it for work but it's either impossible (because there are no apps) or very inefficient compared to a laptop.
I like the how Microsoft made their pencil connect to the SP4 and also that it has an eraser. The Apple Pencil seems like an afterthought and really know creativeness that Apple used to be known for.

I also like that my SP4 has a kickstand, which sounds like it would be no big deal, but it really comes in handy and can be adjusted a number of ways.
I do like my new iPad Pro 9.7, but I think Apple has lost a lot of there creativity, as nothing they have come up with in there recent iPads are really gamechangers, just incremental upgrades. And anything they have added, like the pencil or keyboard is just catching up to their competition and really not even improving upon it. Hate saying that as I am an Apple Fanboy, but seems like it is the truth.
Battery was good for the first month, now it's down to 2 hours,
The whole point of a hybrid is that you have option using a keyboard and mouse with no set up issues. 12.3" screen is smallish, but surface can drive larger monitors. With MS surface hub, you can plug the surface pro into external drives, power and monitors with one connection. Surface pro 4 is not as fast as highend desktop, but it will do many tasks smoothly, including video editing and 3d graphics.The Surface has a desktop OS, but that doesn't mean it's suitable for all "Pro's" either. To realistically use all those Pro apps, you still need an external monitor, keyboard and mouse - using Photoshop on a 12" screen is pretty lame. Plus the Surface is nowhere near as fast as a desktop machine.
