Microsoft's Surface isn't a tablet in the iPad sense of a device for casual content consumption; it seems intended to enable content creation and more formal business use. Comparing the two the way you are isn't very enlightening.
- cmelbye 14y agoWhat's different about Microsoft Surface that suddenly allows it to create content rather than merely consume it? Wouldn't it make sense to give a content creating device more free space to store content?
- JasonFruit 14y agoIt seems to me that the operating system is designed with the keyboard/cover combination in mind, and the operating system --- especially the upcoming Pro version --- has more of the capabilities of a desktop computer than are offered by iOS. (I'm frankly tempted by the device, but I don't see a huge argument for it over a laptop for my most common uses.) In short, it's not so much the device as its software that makes the difference.
