I purchased a surface pro 3 when it first came out, and while it is a great improvement, it still can not compete with the iPad
* More Apps on itunes
* The glass is very easy to crack on the surface Pro
* Microsoft requires that you register the device. I suppose this is the norm for IPhones, but this detracts from the PC experience
* the Surface pro is not adept for comfort viewing - on the lap or in bed.
* It is still a PC that tries to be like a Tablet rather than a true tablet. It has a lot of very annoying issues: when watching a video in a browser, it sometimes goes in the background, requiring you to tab to the correct screen. The brightness and orientation take six clicks to adjust (this was fixed with Windows 10 in Tablet mode).
* The surface pro runs MUCH hotter - sometimes too hot to hold
* The iPad is more competitive for cost for the same specs
- ManFromUranus 11y agoThat's EXACTLY what it is, I believe that was the actual design philosophy behind the thing, you are stating this like they messed up or didn't understand what they were building. Whereas it's much more likely (by the sounds of it) that you didn't need a PC that can be a tablet, you needed an iPad. So I think they built the thing correctly, you probably should have just bought an iPad instead of Surface Pro.
