The Surface Pro X is still waiting for developers to build for it. Many developers who create productivity tools have already made iPad versions of their apps, like Adobe’s Photoshop. The iPad, and iPadOS (the operating system on it) are made for mobile processors, so apps they use are already coded for that architecture. Apple’s integrated graphics processing unit (GPU) makes a big difference here, against Microsoft SQ1 platform. That and the fact that the iPad Pro is a faster device in terms of pure performance too. The difference in product philosophies makes the iPad a better choice for creators and power users. Apple’s second generation Pencil is priced at Rs. Microsoft also has a Pen and Keyboard combo for Rs. The TypeCover case will cost you an additional ₹13,699 while the Magic Keyboard is more than double the price, starting at Rs. It’s sad that neither company bundles these with the tablet though. But both devices touched the 9-10 hour mark for simple browsing, writing etc.īoth the TypeCover keyboard and Apple’s new Magic Keyboard are near perfect replacements for a full sized laptop keyboard, and they both have Touchpad support. In strict usage terms, the iPad lasted us an hour or so more than the Surface Pro X with similar usage. They both excel in certain things, battery life being the highlight. It’s more about what you want from your device. Comparisons are usually about telling readers which device is better, but doing that between the Surface Pro X and iPad Pro will be quite unfair.
