In May 2014, Microsoft released the first paragraph change the Tablet Surface Pro 3 PC history, Microsoft officials directly comparing the MacBook Air to move on stage, poking its pain, claims Surface Pro 3 can be replaced, because it is more powerful, running a Windows operating system, and is equipped with a high quality digital stylus.
But today, Apple has released a Surface more direct competitors iPad Pro Pro 3, Apple told MacBook Microsoft is not the reference object, but the 12.9-inch big-screen Tablet-style computers, it also equipped with a digital stylus and keyboard.
Now, in the most productive areas of portable mobile devices, seems ever more difficult to choose, therefore, we take a look at whether the Surface Pro 3 is iPad Pro is your best choice.
First, the comparison of the view on a number of parameters
IPad Pro is equipped with a larger 12.9-inch display screen, compared to Surface Pro 3 's smaller 12-inch size, the former up to 2742x2048 pixels in resolution and pixel density of 265ppi, Surface Pro provide 2160x1440 pixel resolution and pixel density of 216ppi.
In terms of performance, Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 provides a number of optional programmes, including Intel's Core i3, i5 and I7. Apple A9X equipped with their most powerful chips, performance data is yet to be released. About the device's memory, Apple has never been released, but Microsoft offers two optional configuration: 4GB and 8GB. GPU graphics processor, Apple also keep Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Tablet i3 integrated HD 4200 core i5 integrated HD 4400, I7, integrated HD 5000.
IPad Pro only minimum 32GB and maximum 128GB storage space available, compared with Surface Pro 3 optional wider, from 64GB to 512 GB solid state drive. Connectivity, iPad Pro only Lightning and dedicated Smart Connector-magnetic interfaces, scalability is not high. Surface Pro 3 has a USB 3.0 interface, microSD card slot, Mini DisplayPort output interface. Both offer WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth support, but for Office, rich Surface Pro interface is more practical.
Then the camera, iPad Pro is equipped with 8 million pixels of the iSight camera and 720p Factime front-facing camera, Surface Pro 3 front and back of both cameras is 5 million pixels. Both provide a digital stylus, operation systems, Surface Pro 3 is a typical Windows platform, iPad Pro is the latest iOS 9.
In terms of size, Apple's iPad Pro larger, but lighter, only 713g, and size a little smaller Surface Pro weight 800g, both of which are big-screen tablet, portability will not be much difference. As for the battery life, only a dozen iPad Pro is about 10 hours, Microsoft Surface Pro 3 to 9 hours.
When it comes to a stylus, Surface stylus more like a pen, and has over 250 pressure as well as Palm Block technology provides more real, more natural handwriting experience can be connected via Bluetooth to the Surface automatically. Pencil is similar to a pencil on the iPad also offers natural and smooth, responsive experience, its built-in pressure sensor can sense different compressions, accurate tip strength. Before tests are not true, you cannot be more than the gap, only Pencil is battery life is limited, but you can charge the iPad Pro.
External keyboard, Apple's Smart keyboard is not Microsoft Surface keyboard cover-perfect, after all, the Surface Pro 3 with angle adjustment brackets on their own, with the keyboard was more simple, and after three years of development, the relatively perfect in comfort and user-friendly, in particular the trackpad. However, the iPad Keyboard Pro kits, not unlike the iPad Smart Cover and not much innovation, and seems to point there is only one, may be slightly less the ergonomic.
Finally, pricing, a lot of people think the Surface Pro 3 is a very expensive equipment, Yes, the "I7 + 512GB + 8GB" hat is particularly expensive, offer up to RMB 13988. Much cheaper compared with iPad Pro Hat, official LTE version is priced at us $ 1079 about 6880 Yuan or so, less Surface Pro 3 Hat Edition half price.
All specifications can be left below for a simple comparison:
Conclusion the iPad Pro is better on paper?
At first glance, iPad Pro is more economical, but Hat version of the iPad Pro prices combined with a stylus needed 7512 Yuan. Same price, Surface Pro 3 lines can be purchased "i5+128GB+4GB" version, comes with a stylus, in fact purchase the professional version of the Surface Pro 3 has come standard with a stylus. Because the iPad Pro domestic price, calculated in United States dollars, the same schema can even buy "i7+256GB+8GB" version of the Surface Pro 3.
Surface Pro 10 run currently world Shang most with productivity of operating system Windows 10, this is almost undoubtedly, but iPad Pro of software advantage from iOS, and non-Mac OS x, but designed for iPad optimization of application countless, even has IBM of full support, including Office and Adobe are provides iPad Pro most professional of application, while iOS in more task processing Shang has get has is good of enhanced. In respect of the Mobile Office, touch optimize iPad Pro productivity improved, but very mature on Windows desktop platforms will provide you endless possibilities.
Meanwhile, iPad Pro can provide better battery life, not even real data from successive iPad battery life you can still come to the same conclusion. However, Surface Pro 3 is not good at life, actual use time and the gap is slightly larger, in terms of battery life win iPad Pro no suspense.
For performance, Apple said the iPad Pro compared to the performance of a variety of mobile PC on the market performance of 80% and 90% faster GPU, the actual test has yet to be tested, but since Apple said the iPad Pro is the ability to simultaneously edit 3 4K video, not poor performance, most laptops currently on the market and 2-in-1 device is unable to do so.
From the General parameters, iPad Pro seems to be a better choice.
But the iPad Pro is still awkward in the short term, it is no match for Surface Constituency operations of four principles teach
IPad release pushed the Tablet market to a vantage point, has experienced explosive growth in two or three years later, however, the entire market will experience a baptism. New market rules of the iPad Pro is Apple new Apple hardware and reinforcement on the productivity, provide a stylus and keyboard and software added Office and the support of big companies such as Adobe, once upon a time been considered entertaining tool for the iPad to be more efficient, more creative and productive, especially in terms of mobile office.
So, if the iPad Pro could boost the Tablet market is certainly a good news. However, in business and education to compete with Microsoft Surface series and Lenovo Yoga series tablets the Windows camp, iPad Pro release did not address market gaps. Moreover, despite the Surface Pro 3 price was high, but the iPad Pro does not come cheap, if it comes to Office, almost the same price, according to conventional thinking will surely be more recognized by consumers notebooks.
When it comes to practical experience, iPad for Office still does not allow users to rest assured. Actually have an iPad to substitute laptops long ago, the concept of four or five years, as you can see, laptop remains strong. The reason is simple, a variety of related lack of enterprise applications, configurations, and performance is far better than laptops. This time Apple is reinforcing these defects, short term you may also be unable to see the iPad in the Tablet market much better, its position is clear, mainly users who have special needs, Apple has repeatedly emphasized this point at a presentation ceremony.
Of course, the iPad Pro have a chance, but not now. Now whole mobile equipment market Shang, user began tendencies Yu a flat computer and notebook computer phase combined of 2 collection 1 equipment, purpose is is to using more convenient, because this equipment default standard Bluetooth keyboard, will its connection to flat computer subject zhihou, will can achieved and notebook computer same of experience, while third party accessories manufacturer also provides has many experience quite good of keyboard accessories.
Many users felt that, rather than choose a big-screen smart phone, separate tablet or laptop, rather than direct election 2-in-1 device will simplify things. Apple iPad Pro has released this time belong to the category of 2-in-1 device, mounted on the keyboard would turn laptop, also provide accurate input stylus. However, it was still a Tablet position, conflicts and his MacBook with Apple products, whether it is used to Windows or Mac OS x's friend, obviously difficult to accept in the short term productivity devices running iOS.
In addition, since iPad Pro to wait until November to ship next month, Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 is more likely to attract your attention. Yet there is more hearsay that Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will be available in performance and energy efficiency, further enhancing Skylake architecture processors, than Apple's iPad Pro 20% left in a mobile PC, the device containing the new processor. Key to next generation Tablet Surface provides a new type of screen size, bigger 13-or 14-inch screens, for more full use of Windows 10 key features of the operating system, and more depth of carrying out "tablets replace laptops" concept.
That is, the Surface Pro 4 is not only the traditional 12-inch section, as well as a 13-or 14-inch, performance and energy efficiency promotion do not say, internal specifications, Microsoft has provided up to 16GB part of memory, storage, optional 512GB, and join the new USB Type-C interface. In terms of the appeal Surface Pro 4 at least in hardware innovation is more interesting than the iPad Pro.
Not long ago, the policy analysis company TTS reports are expected, given the size of Tablet phone has been very close to the small-screen tablet, so levels of 7 to 7.9 inches flat panel market in the future will continue to be depressed by 2019 will be shipped down 15%, 30% per cent of the Tablet market. However, the 11-inch and above Tablet shipments will increase the size of the screen 1 time, 19.3 million, will account for 7% of the entire Tablet market.
In other words, the iPad Pro still has plenty of time to prove himself, but to win the battle of the Windows camp, Apple needs to tell people iPad Pro can do more than Surface Pro.
