The PRICE ! Ipad is damn cheap nowadays.
I just bought an ipad 2018 (with pen support) for 329€ [0] new in Paris. VAT included.
I wanted something to show my decks on the go and not having to put "geek mode on" with my laptop.
Im all for diversity, but not at any price.
I would consider that surface for 3/7 - 4/7 of the price of the ipad. More is Microsoft not wanting my business.
I just saw 399 on MS side. Not.

- supernovae 8y agoWhat is your "mission"? $329 is a lot of money if all you do is use mobile apps and you already have a phone whereas for this new surface 399 gets you a computer where you have tablet functionality as well as full OS. Surface is wonderful at showing and creating presentations :)
- EarthMephit 8y ago399 USD is 340 Euros, so that's only a 10 Euro price difference I'd easily pay 10 Euros extra over an iPad for a fully functional computer - Seems like an easy choice
- rorykoehler 8y agoiPad is the best computer ever made. Microsoft will never make anything remotely as good.
- izacus 8y agoThat's because it built something better: a computer that actually allows you to run any software you want.
- aeroevan 8y agoIf I can run Linux on it, I might actually be interested.
- maxsilver 8y agoYou might be able to. The previous model of the Surface Go (called the Surface 3, non-pro) ran Linux ok.
- rorykoehler 8y agoYou completely miss the point. When you're in the kitchen do you use your specialist kitchen knives or a Swiss army knife?
- gtufano 8y ago399 USD + VAT (EU prices are tax included) is ~399€ (after adding also the premium for "consumer protection laws").
