Comparison: iPad Pro vs. Microsoft Surface Pro 7 By My Next Tablet

If you're, looking for the best tab that you can buy right now and don't worry that much about pricing you've got two choices. Are you getting the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 or the Apple iPad Pro both can cost well over $1000, especially if you include the accessories so which is the better one for you, I'm Andrea for my next tablet comm and that's what we'll discuss in this comparison before we start I'm using the 11-inch iPad Pro, but that's also a twelve point? Nine inch, one that's more similar in size to the Surface Pro seven. Besides the screen size boast. iPad pro models are pretty much identical. Let's start this comparison with their inner values. First, with the iPad Pro we're getting an epic 80s exam processor, with four or six gigabytes of RAM, you can choose between 64 gigabytes up to one terabyte of internal storage.

By the way, the one terabyte one is the only one with six gigabytes of RAM LTE 4G is an option to inside the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 once an Intel Core, i3, Core, i5 or i7 10 generation processors. You can look at versions with four to sixteen gigabytes of RAM and you can choose between a 128 gigabyte to one terabyte SSD, there's no 4G option at the moment. My Geek bench 5 comparison is very interesting because they get almost the same results in this benchmark. While the surface gets a better score and the single core test, the iPad is fast and the multi-core test. Those differences are minor.

However, you can see a huge difference in performance when looking at the compute test, which measures graphics performance, keep in mind that epic tablet is one year old already, so the new version should be even faster. Well, benchmarks are one thing and not a perfect way to compare the two, because the platforms are different in real life, both of superfast, you can browse the web with lots of open tabs with both tablets and multitasking works great and superfast as well. All office apps, one fantastic Halfway. It's interesting to see that the iPad Pro feels fast in some cases, for instance, Photoshop, is loading faster than on the surface. That's not due to pure performance.

I. Think. The reason for that is the operating systems. IPadOS is more modern than Windows as its much newer, and that means that Adobe was able to use modern technologies when developing Photoshop for the iPad from the ground up, while the Windows version is carrying decades old of baggage. In addition to new tools and yes, Photoshop for Windows has more features, of course.

Well, there's one Adobe apps that was developed new for both platforms. It's a new video, editor, Adobe Premiere rush to compare the performance. I edited the exact same video on both and rendered it to push out a 9 minute and 40 second 4 K video. The surface ended 10 minutes and 31 seconds. However, the iPad Pro was much faster, which was 4 minutes and 10 seconds.

That's a huge difference. Sure I should also note that you can use many more professional class video editors on the Surface Pro 7 like Premiere Pro, and you don't get apps like these was all pro features for the iPad Pro some gets close, but it will probably take a couple of more years until we get a true Premiere Pro replacement. There are tons of differences when you compare the operating systems and the past iOS used to be more restrictive than Windows and that hasn't changed. However, Apple improved a lot with iPad 2s multitasking works fantastic now, and we get a real science manager. Yes, you can even connect external SSDs or other kinds of storage and transfer a Word documents, PDFs and other files that work very well with the use.

Dc port. The iPad Pro, has a huge advantage if you're looking for a pure tablet without a keyboard inside the app store, there's a much larger selection of apps that are optimized for touch screens. The selection is not just a bit larger but a lot larger than the Microsoft Store. You cannot just get one these and video editors that optimized for touch, but several you can also get great note-taking apps programs for your finances or abstracted photos with. Yes, some of them are for generation Instagram, but Adobe Lightroom runs on the iPad Pro 2 and this optimized for touch, and you get Adobe Photoshop and even good alternatives, like affinity photo Microsoft, Office apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint runway 2.

In addition to that, you can get a huge amount of optimized games. Many of these apps do have some restrictions compared to that desktop counterparts. I'd say there are about 90% of the features, that's the case, we'll suppose Photoshop and Lightroom, but also with Microsoft Office apps. If you need some specific feature, you might not be able to use it with some mobile versions. We receive Surface Pro 7.

On the other hand, you get normal Windows 10, it's the same Windows. You are probably familiar with from your laptop or desktop PC. That means you can use all those apps. You might be used to like normal Photoshop, normal Lightroom or Lightroom classic, as well as these standard office apps you get access to the full file system and Windows 10, and you can do whatever you want. Do you need an app that you've been using for decades? Yes, that we're probably run great on the surface.

If you are a software developer, you will have the same experience as on your laptop. For instance, Windows has proper Mouse support, ? sure you can connect one to your iPad as well, but it's just in relating the finger with Windows. You can use a mouse to be faster and more productive in January, starting with Windows 8 Microsoft began to include touch features, ? they're, not perfect, but work fine. Once you turn on the tablet mode, you can use Windows with your fingers very well. At the same time, you get great handwriting recognition and lots of features for the surface pen that stylus as well support in an abstract, Photoshop ? and don't forget that is a real Photoshop with many more features and the iPad version.

Now with that being said, Windows 10 is not great. If you're looking for touch friendly, apps for other purposes, there's no YouTube app. For instance, you can use it in the browser sure, but when you want to watch it in that a proper app is easier to navigate using just a touchscreen. That's the case for many other applications. You can use most things on the Surface Pro, but it's either a desktop Graham that not optimized for touch or a website.

That's the case with games ?, you can play thousands of games on the surface, burrow, seven and especially older ones. Honor, the demanding ones run great, but almost all of them are meant to be controlled by mouse and keyboard and not by the touchscreen. Some touch friendly apps to exist on the Microsoft's ?, of course, among those who Netflix or solid Twitter app and some free, Twitter's or drawing apps. But the selection is much smaller. Let's get to the displays, you can get the Apple iPad Pro with an eleven inch or twelve point nine-inch screen, whereas the Surface Pro 7 has a twelve point.

Three inch display according to Apple they're, using a liquid, a Retina display and Microsoft uses a PixelSense display, whereas they're just marketing. What you should know is that viewing angles are great on both and the resolutions are very high, both iPads at a pixel density of 264 PPI. While the Surface Pro 7 has one of 267 PPI, so to be super exact. The surface is a tiny bit sharper, but in real life, they've got the same amount of detail. I think contrast and collaborate.

Action is excellent on both. If you look very closely, Apple is a winner regarding the screens. You only noticing it when compared exam side by side, but iPad Pro is a bit brighter, and it has double. The frame rate was up to 120 Hertz. You won't notice that all the time, because Apple is adjusting it dynamically.

However, some say they can see a difference immediately, but I'm, not among them. Their pens are different too. In both cases, you've got to buy them separately, and they usually cost over $100 they've got over 4000 levels of pressure, sensitivity, which means that we're supposed tense you can draw a thin line by pressing lightly and a harder line by pressing harder. Just like was a real tensor that depends on or two is made of a matte plastic with one flat side. That's touch sensitive, using gestures.

You can change tools, for example. A fascinating feature is that you can connect the stylus magnetically to one of the sides of the iPad Pro once you do that the pen gets charged, wirelessly Microsoft Surface pen is made of metal, it has one button on its side and an eraser button on the. While you can magnetically connector to the saddle surface -. It won't be charged that way. You've got to replace a battery.

Occasionally I've noticed some differences with their tips, so one of the EpiPen r2 is harder, which means that you can slide across the screen without any resistance. With the surface pen. On the other hand, we get a softer tip that you can also press down a little for me. That makes it more feel like we're paper forever. I'm, not a designer or a painter so, and I've heard from some that they prefer a harder tip.

I. Guess it's a matter of taste. By the way, you can buy different tips for the surface pen if you want a harder one, but that's not an option with the other pencil tool, let's get to their design and build quality, and let's get something similar also way. First they're, both made of metals I, have a metal body and feel super high-end. The build quality is fantastic on both.

However, there are huge differences when it comes to their overall designs. The iPad Pro looks much more modern because it has slimmer screen deserts, and it shows five point nine millimeters thin. That makes it seem a bit fragile at times. Microsoft hasn't changed their design for years, though the Surface Pro 7 has big black display bezels, and the tablet is quite a bit. Thicker was eight point.

Five millimeters Microsoft is weighing 775 grams, which is more than the 631 grams of the twelve point. Nine-inch iPad Pro and much more than the 468 grams of c11 in shock. Both are much lighter than most laptops. I really like the built-in kickstand, also Surface Pro 7, that's a fantastic feature, and that's why I don't mind that it's a bit thicker I should also note that the surface has two well hidden. Air vents, which the iPad does not need to require.

Seven versions is the only one with active fans, though another feature I like on both is their USB seaports, but on the iPad Pro method, there's a USB support and nothing more Microsoft has given us an additional headphone jack, a USB 3.0, type-a port, the surface connect port and a micro SD card slot. These 7 and 12 megapixel cameras of the iPad Pro are quite a bit better than the 5 and 8 megapixel surface cameras. Here you can clearly see that Apple has experience with the iPhone cameras. You can uh, not post tablets with facial recognition. It seems like Apple's face.

I'd works a bit better than the facial recognition of Windows hello, especially in the dark. However, overall I think balls are great. I also noticed that the two speakers of the surface are very good for Windows tablet, but the force because of the iPad Pro of a clearer, sound and a stronger base. Microsoft is the clear winner. When it comes to the keyboards, you can get official ones for both and again, you will have to pay over $100 extra.

The one from Microsoft is connected using a magnetic connector. Once you close it, the display is protected. It also has a magnetic bar which lets you use it at an angle so that it's not lying flat on the table. I think the Microsoft type cover is the best official keyboard of any tablet. It's a full-size one you've got real keys to press down, they even have a background flight, and they feel great when typing it's a premium keyboard and the writing.

Experience is like on a laptop, and we get a touchpad to palettes. Keyboard is connected magnetically as well, and it covers the back of the tablet, so it's protected from scratches. In this case the keyboard does lie flat on a table and can't be angled up. The keys. Don't have a background light, and you can press them down a little only ensure the one of the 11-inch iPad is but smaller, but the twelve point nine inches one is similar in size.

Overall, the keyboards from ever are much worse. Now, don't get me wrong in fact, I've written tons of articles with the 11-inch iPad Pro and that keyboard I like to use it when I'm sitting in a caf? and want to concentrate on a long text or so, but it's only a good choice. If you want something small and light like the 11-inch iPad Pro itself, you've got to make a compromise between mobility and comfort. The keyboard of the iPad is too bad to use for 8 hours every day, with the Microsoft type curve. On the other hand, I feel comfortable using it for hours and hours.

So only compromise you've got to make here is with a small touchpad, but the keyboard is pretty perfect. Their battery life is very different, while the iPad Pro got a runtime of 18 hours and my bad retest the Surface Pro 7 lasted 11 hours. For this I'm always looping an HD video at medium brightness and turned on Wi-Fi. We are arriving at the end of my comparison between the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 and the Apple iPad Pro. My final verdict is very clear anything for most it will be obvious, which tablet is better for you.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is the best choice. If you're looking for a tablet to replace your notebook or desktop PC with it behaves just like a normal Windows 10 laptop does, the keyboard is fantastic, and the performance is like the one of the premium ultra book. At the same time, you can use it as a pure tablet without the keyboard either to watch Netflix or to write down some handwritten notes with a surface pen. I think that Malabar Pro is the best pure tablet and excellent second device. You can use it as an entertainment tablet, and it's fantastic for games due to the larger selection of the app store.

It's great for digital notes to ensure the performance is good enough to get some work done as well, probably not as your main device, but it's a perfect compact companion for when you're on the go- and some like photographers, for instance, can do quite a lot with it. Alright, that's the end of this comparison between the Microsoft Surface, pro 7 and the Apple iPad Pro.
