What to buy

[Mohammed Arham]

Hey,

I am student and do some medium gaming. I have an option of buying any of laptop kind of devices. I'm confused as to which I should buy. Right now my two options are surface pro 6 and the iPad pro. Which one do you suggest. If there are any others, please mention.

 

Thank you

For video editing it is better to go with a HEDT.

But, when u compare to the 2 things I have mentioned above

What do you even want to do with it??? Without knowhing that, it's not possible to recommend you ANYTHING.

 

iPad Pro is the better Tablet, period.

But Surface is the better Notebook.

 

Where is your Focus?

 

 

To break it down, Both are your Choice, if you want to do handwritten Note Taking. Surface with Surface Pen + One Note (or maybe Nebo), iPad Pro with Apple Pencil + one of the many very very good note taking Apps.

For PURE Note Taking, iPad wins in my opinion. it's faster, UI is better for touch, and you have many more different Apps, that make perfect use of the Apple Pencil.

 

If you want to use a real Keyboard, for things like Office (your thesis, home works etc), the Surface is better, because it has full Windows 10, an actual File System (No, iOS does not have one, the Files App doesn't change that fact), and flawless support for USB Sticks with all important file types~.

 

If you have a real Computer at home, and want to use that too, Surface has an advantage here because they work better together. Stuff you save on your Surface, OneNote, Office etc, you can sync with OneDrive, and edit on your Home Computer too.

 

 

Gaming: iPad the usual Mobile stuff.

Surface: Also, some minigames from Windows store.

 

You can completely forget playing things like Witcher 3.

Surface Pro because of this....

If you don't bend it like a retard, then nothing will happen... lol.

 

Idk about others, but i usually don't try to destroy my Tablets on purpose.

Oh yea, iPad Pro 2nd gen is perfectly Legit too, if you get it for a better Price. Can also compete with Surface Pro just like the iPad Pro 3rd Gen (2018)

What the guy meant in the video was that the iPad is less durable if it is stressed.  Overtime, it will be scratched more easily then the surface.

In backpacks, the ipad could also be overstressed.

 

This one is destroying the ipad on purpose.

You will mostly use a (flip) cover anyway. At least most do.

Otherwise, dbrand skin.

Or simply take care of it. Then it won't matter.

 

Screen doesn't scratch any more or less than any other smartphones does. small scratches at level 6, deeper at level 7. Same as my smartphones i used the last 3-4+ years, i never used any screen protector, and i never had a single micro-scratch whatsoever.

 

 

But tbh: That won't help anything, if you just "get a surface because ipad pro can be bent". it's a different OS, and if you don't like windows for whatever you want a Tablet + stylus for, you won't be happy with it.
