    I have tried using my iPad Pro 13 for the longest time now. It get my productivity works done, but not without A LOT of struggles. The "fatal attraction" of a surface pro is pulling me back... very strongly and I have been resisting it as the iPad Pro 13 doesn't come cheap and I had wanted to give it another go. Likely I will surrender to the surface pro.

      Half true. The mission statement for the iPad is to be the "third device" that 1) does things the laptop and phone can't do, 2) a third of things that phones and laptops can do, it does them way better. By focusing on optimization on these things it ensures it won't be "clunky" at them. So what we're seeing in where these devices excel and fall short is a direct result of their different mission statements.
      For someone wanting a Laptop-Tablet-Phone experience on only two devices, the Surface is the winner. That's literally its mission, to help you do all three with only two. You get a "passable" laptop experience coming in at 90% what the best dedicated laptop can do, and a "passable" tablet that's a bit clunky at what tablets do best. Over time, having this -10% abrasive experience of not being the best I can be, made me abandon the Surface and go for a Mac+iPad+iPhone trio.
      On the Macbook+iPad+iPhone experience, you simply get a best-in-class laptop computing experience, a best-in-class tablet experience, and a kind of "automagic" integration between all three where you can just put down one and go to the other or use all three together as a single "mega-device": the iPhone giving studio quality video for webcam while the tablet is effortlessly becoming second screen for the laptop or vice versa. Copy pasting between them all as if they were one device. That's the tip of the iceberg of a list that has about 100 more things I could go on and on about..
      It's more money invested up front but the luxurious optimized efficiency seems worth it. The higher resale value, better longevity, better productivity, and greater sanity at being able to "work at the speed of thought" is starting to make me feel that the total cost of ownership is even equal or less, than juggling around and replacing Windows and Android devices more often.
      I'm very pleased that Samsung, Microsoft, and Apple are in a stiff competition now though. It's good for anyone who uses these devices.

    Excellent and balanced video. I totally agree with your assessment. I've had a M1 12.9-inch 2TB model with magic keyboard and pencil for coming up to 3yrs and at the time I purchased it as an Intel MacBook Pro replacement which it completely failed to do due to iPad OS limitations. M series iPad Pro are technically excellent, but despite iPad OS improvements, the operating system still cripples them to live in a walled garden ecosystem of mostly mediocre smart phone style apps. I object to paying such a high price for computer tablet where Apple dictate what apps I can or cannot run through their app store policies. And consequently, I will never by another iPad Pro, because my sixth gen iPad Mini is just as competent as a media consumption and casual gaming tablet, but more portable. Why, because iPad OS wastes the incredible performance potential of the iPad Pro. I now have a Windows 11 tablet PC and love it. It's replaced both my iPad Pro and M2 MacBook Pro, because the iPad Pro does not have a desktop class operating system and the MacBook Pro's UI feels prehistoric with its lack of touch display and intrinsic stylus support which I really appreciate in my later stages of my life.

    I considered both.
    I ended up purchasing a Minisforum v3. While it is heavier, it came with the keyboard and pen, it's got 32GB ram, and a 1TB SSD. The only downside is the battery, which gets about 5-6 hours for kind of regular usage. It's gaming ability is significantly beyond either the M4 iPad Pro or Surface Pro 11 (but an even bigger battery drain). Plus, you can always use it as a monitor for another device.
    All that for 999$ USD? It's just a better value. More speed, more space, more power. And for me, my preference is always matte over glossy screen, so I loved that. The only real downside I feel is the battery and that the additional weight. It's 2lb compared to the iPad Pro (m4)'s 1.25lb. It's easily noticeable. But if you're taking it somewhere for work or play, you're likely putting it on a flat surface, so, whatever. Likewise, at home, I just plug it into a dock and it does dual monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc, all by plugging in one wire.
    The moment they can get all that into a 1.25lb or less package is the moment the current gen of tablets becomes almost obselete by comparison unless you're purely looking for a consumption device on a tablet.

    This is by far the best analysis and comparison I have seen between the two devices. I have tested the latest Surface Pro, IPad Pro, Surface Laptop, and MacBook Air & MacBook Pro devices. They all bring something unique to the table. My goal was to find a single device that could simplify my personal and productivity needs. While I believe the iPad Pro boasts the most innovative hardware package, it absolutely falls short in overall productivity, especially when using the complete Office 365 Suite as I do on a daily basis. If it weren’t for that IPad Pro would be my daily driver, but that experience is critical enough for my work that I also give the Surface Pro the nod. Outstanding analysis E.

If I have a lot of peripherals hanging on it, I always keep my SPs in a form-fitting, padded, "armoured" case, when not using them, and if the weight could hurt my legs, I put the case over my knees and put the SP on top of that. Or I use a table or desk. It's not an evil techno-torture device.

    As somebody that love's apple and has drank the coolaid, the iPad will never have a desktop environment where you can put files and whatnot with a more "normal" window manager. It would cannibalize the Macbook Air and apple doesn't want that. imo the iPad will stay in this weird place between a 2in1 a tablet, leaning more towards the tablet. Opposite goes for the Macbook's, I don't see them ever getting touchscreens. If they did people would stop buying iPad Pro's.

    For serious work, I opt for the Surface, but for outdoor note-taking, the iPad with Cellular is my go-to. The issue arises when unexpected work comes up; I can't complete my tasks on the iPad (Because after all its just a Tablet with a bad Tablet OS - You can work as a Developer of some sort or edit videos but cant get Job Specific Programs to run for some small adjustments on the Project.
    Thus, I often find myself carrying both devices or just the Surface.
    I'm considering replacing both with the Surface Pro 11 when it releases with 5G. It seems capable of handling both tasks.
    It's not the ideal laptop for lap use but works perfectly on a desk.
    As a tablet, it's not the best due to the Windows experience, but with the Surface Pen, it's quite satisfactory for specific uses.

    I have both, but it’s pretty hard to work on an iPad. Not that there’s no special app on the iPad, I generally only work on Microsoft office and I really tried to work on my iPad only for like a month. Of course, it didn’t work out. No matter how hard I try, the Office app just doesn’t perform that well when you are typing multiple languages (I type in English, Chinese and Japanese), sometimes the cursor on Word would start jumping around when I start typing in the two Asian languages. On the other hand, there are things that doesn’t work on my Surface because the Microsoft app store is just pure shit, for instance, I use Google Playbooks for ebooks but there is no dedicated app on windows, there used to be a workaround and you can force an Android app to work on Windows 11 but they recently decided to shut down all android support. I tried to find a balance by going for a Samsung tablet, trust me, it just doesn’t work at all.

    Take it from me, surface is trash!
    While you could theoretically get away with using the surface as your main computer, it fails in all categories by being a master of none. It’s super buggy and frequently crashes not to mention endless daily updates, you can’t use in on your lap so it’s not a laptop, the touch interface is really bad so you can’t really use it as a tablet either…
    The iPad fares worse in that you can’t really use it as a dedicated laptop however you can use it in your lap and it really shines as a tablet.
    This brings me to my point, these devices are supplemental to your primary device. So if you have a MacBook and iPad is amazing. However if you have a windows laptop the surface is useless.

The small screen forces me to contort my fingers, leading to frustration and discomfort. But that's not the worst of it - my phone lags and overheats, making it impossible for me to play the games I love without interruptions. Because I also use it for personal use
    My dream is to become a mobile gaming content creator, but it feels like an impossible feat with the device I own. I long to share my gaming experiences with the world, but I'm held back by the limitations of my phone. I'm reaching out to you, dear Mr E, in the hopes that you can help me turn my dreams into reality. Your support would mean the world to me, and I would be forever grateful. If you have made it until here I really appreciate your time.

    I think we all have to stop comparing the iPad to a computer. The whole point of an iPad is a supplemental work tool if you are a heavy mac user. Not all iPad workflow is comparable to having an actual computer. A lot of people still don't understand this and they end up complaining and getting disappointed in the end.

      @@TamasKiss-yk4st Maybe you value things based on MRP, but any seller will tell you value is always calculated on C.P (cost price) of item. Discount on MRP makes it a S.P (selling price) which is close to C.P of item (with added margin). Most companies (unlike apple) offer an initial discount (for marketing) which actually always remains close to 20% (that means their MRP has that value added factor). Some companies (mostly textiles) even offer 80% discount on product that is only for marketing, but their MRP is printed in order to maintain a profit margin. So a 20$ shirt is printed with MRP 100$ and sold on sale for 80% discount.
      Conclusion: So if MRP of product is say 1300$ and you are offered discount to 1000$ that means value will always be calculated from that 1000$ not from fake MRP that product is printed with.

    The truth is that Apple has been trying to be too many things to too many people with, in the process, only a couple of products staying stellar: MacBook Pro M series, Apple TV and the Apple Watch Ultra.
    Still, the AppleTV, much like the iPhone mini, and the Mac mini and the iPad mini, and the iMac and the Mac Pro and Car Play has not been properly updated for a very long time.
    Extremely good sound mixing on this video, as always. Even if I weren't enjoying the content, just for production quality and the "set/desk" design/organisation I would still be watching the videos with pleasure. Great job!
