Tom Brady has an iPad Pro?

[joeblow7777]

I would think calling Tom "the best", would be more in reference to being the best QB, not the person with the most money. Maybe JoeBlow7777 doesn't know who Tom Brady is, or what he has done.

I know who he is. That's not really the point though.

Thats likely because the surface died from low battery halfway through the game. I dont get why they are so popular. If you draw a diagonal line on the screen its wavy. if you dont draw the line super fast in any direction its wavy. It throttles like hell under stress. You only get like 3 and a half to 4 hours battery life on the surface 4.

I would rather own a surface pro 3 then a surface pro 4 just judging from the problems posted all over the web.

They're not really that popular. In addition to those NFL players barely using them, I also remember CNN anchors using them to prop up their iPads but had the back of the Surface facing the camera since Microsoft is paying for them to "use" them.

As for the OP, it appears that Tom Brady has good taste in tablets.

To be fair, that was mainly still when they had the surface pro 2, which was heavy and clumsy. The surface pro line has improves by a great margin since then.

Okay, please relax a little. Why are you assuming that I have something against the iPad Pro or something? I've noticed that your post tend to be very defensive. I was just pointing out that some of the comments being made are simply inferences or assumptions.

You always do this, and always present absurd inferences and assumptions of your own.

Always negative towards Apple.

Hmm... And you wonder why I assume you have something against the iPad Pro? It's because I take your words at face value.

The picture tells us one thing: Tom Brady has on at least one occasion used an iPad Pro in his home. Nothing more, nothing less.

How do you function in the real world? All that a traffic light tells you is that it is red right now. YOU HAVE NO PROOF THAT IT WILL EVER TURN GREEN AGAIN!

Nope, sorry. The world doesn't work that way. Tom Brady chose to submit a photo of him using an iPad Pro. In the real world, that means it's highly likely that he owns it and was happily using it.

My pointing that out doesn't mean that I'm against the product. If someone were to take a snapshot of me at home I might be seen using an Apple, Microsoft, or Google/Android device depending on the moment. I just think it would be silly for someone to make assumptions about my preferences based on that one snapshot.

But if you keep posting the same wet blanket anti-X rubbish in the same forum where people discuss X, it takes very little to surmise you have something against people liking X.

Oh, and I commented on the remark about the "best people using the best products" because it's subjectivity makes it pretty meaningless as an observation. Your interpretation seems to be the "best people" are those with the most money, and similarly "best products" are the ones that cost the most.

Nope. Funny, though, after all that bloviating about people making assumptions that you'd make such an absurd one yourself.

Just further proof that you are pushing an agenda.

Brady is a smart man

It actually is the point. You are trying to somehow claim that Tom Brady doesn't deserve to be called "the best".

I mean, multiple Super Bowl wins and MVPs!

But, no, "the best" is subjective, and therefore meaningless? Because, um, you said so?

Or, more likely, because it's required to be meaningless in order to keep your wet blanket from disappearing in puff of common sense.

Tom Brady is among the best of the best. If you're unwilling to concede that, then the only thing meaningless here is everything you've built atop that misjudgment.

I'm not pushing an agenda and I don't know how you're getting the impression that I'm anti-Apple. I'm here on an Apple forum. I think that Apple makes FANTASTIC devices. iPhones, are the only smartphones I have ever owned. When my Nexus 7 tablet was beginning to feel a bit lacking in certain respects, I replaced it with an iPad Mini 4 and have made so many posts about how much I love it that I'm feeling like a broken record. What more do I need to say? Two years with an Android tablet which served me well, but when it was time for something new, I got an iPad. Does that mean that I never criticize Apple products? No. I don't consider myself a "fanboy" of any brand, and I can say a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of various platforms and brands. I like tech, and the iPad Pro is an awesome piece of tech... just not one that I've personally chosen to purchase, as I prefer more portable tablets.

But you get defensive and confrontational about anything that even SUGGESTS a negative view of the iPad Pro. A poster mentioned that it was "interesting" that Brady was using the iPad Pro in the photo rather than a Surface, and all I said is that is doesn't really mean anything. I would have made exactly the same point if he had been using a Surface and someone remarked about how he wasn't using an iPad.

It's amazing how religious people can get over their favorite brand of gadgets.

I think what's more interesting is why the Surface Pro isn't able to gain traction in the NFL. Is it because everyone is used to iOS or actually prefers iOS and (justifiably?) finds the UX of the Surface Pro unpleasant?

Or is the Surface Pro actually doing better in the NFL than this single Facebook post would suggest....?

Weren't the teams given Surfaces to use on the field and perhaps locker room? What players use as personal devices doesn't seem related to me.

As it is, I think that the Surface Pro makes a better laptop than tablet, so I would think that people would be more inclined to use it for work than relaxation.

Yes, the players were given Surfaces to use at "work." But if they found the Surface pleasurable or useful for work, wouldn't they consider getting it for personal use, also?

Speaking for myself, it depends. If I had as much money as Tom Brady I would almost certainly have an iPad Pro and a Surface Pro (as well as various other devices) and use them both. Even not being rich, I have a Windows ultrabook which is for all intents and purposes my Surface Pro alternative, and an iPad, which is a Mini and not a pro simply because I prefer smaller tablets. The point that I raised above is that if one were to take a snap shot of me at home you might see me using either device and it would be in no way accurate if I happened to be seen using my Mini and people inferred that I don't like my Windows device, or vice versa.

I swear those Surface devices are nothing more than props most of the time. The branding is everywhere but more often than not when they show the sidelines the coach isn't looking at a Surface.

It's hilarious. You see a surface in the background with a huge "Surface" logo plastered on it.

It's embarrassing. Apple would never have such shameless product placement.
