Ipad was a revolution in its time. But nowadays, the laptop computers are getting smaller, faster, same range of weight, but more important, much more powerful.<\/p>\n

The main problems with ipads compared to competitors are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The email app from apple who is really not good, difficult to setup, and always problematic to send your mails, even if reception is OK, on the macbook laptop, by the way, it is the same problem. Moreover it is just an app, not a real email client, so no access of your complete email database, which is a problem for professionals.<\/li>\n
  2. The system is completely closed, only iTunes to synchronize. You want to transfer a map on jpg format to send to friends? to visualize documents? so complicated. On a surface tablet: easy, to put it into \u00ab\u00a0my documents and any software can open it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    On the other side, the new surface 3 and the surface Pro3 got:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. a real USB3 port for USB key,<\/li>\n
    2. a real minidisplay port for external projector,<\/li>\n
    3. a precise sensitive pen to write, sign, etc<\/li>\n
    4. possibility to run full version of \u00ab\u00a0microsoft office\u00a0\u00bb suite software, or if you want the free version, to install \u00ab\u00a0open office\u00a0\u00bb.<\/li>\n
    5. the choice on the email client, and the excellent \u00ab\u00a0thunderbird\u00a0\u00bb client, free and powerful.<\/li>\n
    6. A slot for a microSD memory card, up to 128 Gb<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Just a detail: the power charger from surface pro3 includes an usb port to charge your phone: no need to travel with another adapter. Really, Apple got no more the monopole of the user-friendly attitude. Only remaining problem is windows 8 that was created without any global logic. version 10 this summer will correct (I hope) this point…for free… thank to Apple now supplying his OS upgrade for free, Microsoft got to follow \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

      Conclusion:<\/p>\n

      I had for 12 years imac (2), macbooks (air, pro, and so on) ipads (3 in total) but now, I discovered the surface pro 3 since 8 months, and it is all changed. Using everyday a macbook air, an ipad mini 128gb, a surface pro 3, well, the choice is more then obvious: sell the iPad, its too locked to Apple ecosystem that makes it far more complex to set-up, than the Microsoft surface pro3.<\/p>\n

      Best configuration at date:<\/p>\n
