I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days with both the 12” Apple iPad Pro and the Microsoft Surface Book. I’m not going to breakdown the specs on these - far too many people already have. Rather, I’m going to cover usability and my observations and opinion for which worked best for me with the hopes that this real life review helps in your decision making process.

Depending on the type of user you are, looking for the right device warrants a number of considerations, related to cost, performance and size. Cost, being only one factor in a bigger equation, may be the entry point for most consumers on a budget, however, size and performance are what represents the true return of investment in the short term.

Finally, Apple has released a new 29W USB Type-C compatible charger for the iPad Pro, which turns charging the 12.9 inch tablet a breeze.
