multitasking) that requires significantly less raw processing power than Windows.įurthermore, Windows is originally a robust desktop system, traditionally controlled with a mouse and requires more maintenance. On the other hand, iPad Pro utilizes iOS – still a mobile operating system (even though with numerous features enhanced to enable higher productivity, e.g. The Surface runs a full-featured Windows 10 Professional, just like a typical enterprise laptop or desktop would, explaining the need for its more powerful internals. The glaring difference between Surface Pro 4 and iPad Pro however, becomes apparent once you examine the operating systems on each device. However, what they might be lacking in hardware connectivity, iPads make up for (at least partially) with cellular connectivity, which is still not available for Surface Pro 4. Apart from a standard 3,5mm headphone jack you’ll only find Apple’s Lightning connector in iPad Pro. Surface also incorporates an array of hardware connectors, including a USB 3.0 port and a MicroSD card slot. The 9.7 inch iPad Pro starts at $599 and the top 12.9 inch version totals at $1129.įrom a quick rundown of the hardware specs alone it can look like the Surface Pro 4 outperforms the iPad Pro, as it comes in many more configuration options and packs laptop/desktop-grade internal components. All of these also utilize 4GB of RAM paired with the A9X processor. The available storage options for both models are 32, 128, and 256GB. The display size is the only significant differentiator between Apple’s two pro tablets. The display resolution of 2732 x 2048 pixel and 2048 x 1536 respectively translates to 264 PPI ratio for both versions. IPad Pro comes in two screen sizes – 12.9 and 9.7 inch. The entry-level Surface Pro 4 starts at $699 at the top-tier model comes at $2599. The device can be purchased with 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB RAM configurations combined with Intel’s Core M3, Core i5, or Core i7 processors. Its storage capacity starts at 128GB and can be expanded up to 1TB.
Surface Pro 4 features a 12.3 inch screen, with a resolution of 2736 x 1824 pixel at 267 pixels per inch (PPI).
We’ll start with an overview of essential hardware stats that can’t really be disputed. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s get ready to rumble! Hardware And since professional tablets are already being touted even as PC replacements we decided to take a closer look at two main competitors in the enterprise tablet ring – Apple’s iPad Pro and Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4. Every now and then we receive a question from our customers and partners about which mobile devices we recommend for business users.
