A Surface will destroy an iPad Pro, it is an x86 machine that runs Windows and actual programs. It is more a competitor of the MBA. I use mine with Photoshop, Premiere and Illustrator no problem (although I don’t edit 4k video on it because who would want to do that on such a tiny screen?). When it is docked it’s just…

Because taking a mid-range laptop and pushing it beyond it’s ability, and then calling it shit for not being able to do that of a mobile workstation is a good way to bash on the surface pro.

Seriously. Why would you review an i5 device on the basis of editing 4k video? Can you review the next Macbook Air based on its 3D gaming performance please?

I’m sorry but this was a horrendous review. You refer to work as though video and photo editing are the only kinds of work people do and proceed to make judgments based on comparing two completely different classes of machines, a maxed out MBPro 15 with discrete graphics to a Surface Pro with an i5? In what world does…

The Surface may go toe-to-toe with a Macbook Air but its real strength is in out iPad-ing the iPad.

Summary : this ipad/laptop replacement can’t do the same shit as a £3k dedicated editing rig. Figures. I use a surface pro one at University and it does everything I need with ease. I imagine this is better still. If I had the cash, it would’ve been a day 1 buy.
