HAHAHAHA Business Insider, you crack me up!
Ok, so I've been beating this whole iPad Pro thing to death. But this takes the cake... about 10-ish paragraphs in is this amusing tidbit:
The fan boy delusions are PAINFUL. What Apple fans have been denying for years, they now graciously accepts because Apple has embraced it... only Apple they hasn't.
The quote above makes that painfully clear. The iPad Pro DOES NOT run a laptop grade processor. If it did, like their Mac Books it would run an Intel processor. It instead runs the net gen of their mobile chipset. It also doesn't run the Apple equivalent of a full version of Windows, that would (of course) be OS X and while they have conceded to the pen(cil) and keyboard cover BOTH are terrible.
PEOPLE!!!! JUST STOP IT! Apple has either ABSOLUTELY failed at copying the Surface Pro, or NEVER tried to do so in the first place. EITHER way, mentioning the iPad Pro AT ALL within the same conversation as the Surface Pro is BEGGING to be insulted. And to be completely transparent, I don't care if the truth is that they failed, or that was never their intent. I don't think Apple is stupid, and I tend to think the latter is true. What I care is people are blindly ignoring reality.
Slightly ironic... this is probably the best advertising Microsoft has ever gotten. I wish it would stop, however, because I think it is ASTRONOMICALLY misleading AND idiotic. And, as Apple fans, all you're doing is making Microsoft look good by basically saying "oh yeah! they had the right idea 3 years ago and Apple is only just realizing that now".
By giving a tablet a laptop-grade processor, a full version of Windows, and an optional keyboard, the Surface Pro 3 became a lot more useful than your garden-variety tablet, especially for working professionals. Apple finally caught on to this with last week's introduction of the iPad Pro, which looks a lot like the Surface Pro.
