Jul 30, 2019 22:12 EDT · Hot! with 30 comments The debate between the Surface Pro vs. iPad has been raging for a few years now. This comparison is going to focus on the two hybrids as mobile productivity devices. My use case is this: I need a device that lets me write articles, review contracts, do light graphics design, sketch user interfaces, and is extremely mobile. I have been buying iPad Pros and Surface Pros since the beginning and using both heavily to see where they naturally end up in my tool chain. Each has its strengths and weaknesses that make them more or less useful to me depending on the circumstance. Hopefully these observations will be helpful to you.
