Microsoft Surface Pro Slams Apple’s iPad Naming Itself The Real Computer Alternative

The Christmas campaign is approaching and the battles to be the best-selling device are emerging on YouTube. Microsoft’s latest ad promotes the company’s Surface Go by claiming it as the real computer alternative, somewhat directly attacking the Apple’s iPad.

In a short Christmas musical, Microsoft shows us a little girl singing and dancing to the sound of the advantages of Surface Go. Correctly, the lyrics of the song read like this:

“Grandma, don’t run off and buy an iPad. Now my dreams are big, and I need a real computer to do all the amazing things I can do. I would also like to learn how to write some code and help a nice manatee. The Surface Go is what I really want, to be the smartest me,” she says.

The Surface Go is Microsoft’s device that, in their words, combines the performance of a laptop and the portability of a tablet.

Microsoft Surface Pro Slams Apple’s iPad Naming Itself The Real Computer Alternative

From 449 €, with 64 Gb. of SSD and 4 Gb. of RAM, Windows 10 Home and a keyboard that is sold separately for 99 €, it is, without a doubt, a PC-tablet hybrid with Windows that you should take into account. Possibly, according to what Microsoft suggests in the Surface Pro ad they released on YouTube, the Surface Pro might be a computer with Windows for children.

And they are not wrong in comparing it to the iPad (not the iPad Pro), as both have a screen of about 10 inches (the iPad comes with a 9.7-inch display and the Surface Go boasts a 10-inch one). Also, they come with similar resolutions (a little more pixel density on the iPad), compatibility with keyboards and pencils, same weight, and the list of similarities can go on.

Whether or not the iPad is a real computer will have to be decided by each user. But there is no doubt that both Microsoft Surface Pro and iPad devices are in direct competition.

Surface Pro Software Update will be Released to fix Its Pen Problems

If you are a Surface Pro user then maybe you can relate to the that Microsoft’s surface pen has. Needless to say, the cause is not known yet, but Microsoft does not let you down.

The company has been working on a software fix in order to solve the inaccuracy of the Surface Pro’s stylus which is known by the name of Surface Pen. The problem focuses on the fact that users have been facing with the digital pen because it does not work when you rest your hand on the screen while using it.

Why is this solution the best?

A report from The Verge said late on Tuesday “Microsoft has been investigating a fix, and the latest Surface Pro firmware update, available on Windows Update now addresses problems with ‘palm rejection affecting Surface Pen accuracy.'”

This news came as a relief to the Surface Pro owners because the solution did not include the replacements of the units. To solve the inaccuracy of the Surface Pet Microsoft only needed to make a software fix avoiding both waste of money, time and other resources.

In addition to this, “Affected users have confirmed pen strokes are now fully accurate when resting a hand on the Surface Pro screen.”

More detailed information

After Microsoft has claimed its Surface Pen to be the fastest digital stylus available at the moment on the market, Apple fired back with its new Apple Pencil which is said to be even faster than Microsoft’s stylus.

The issues faced by Surface Pro users gave the company the opportunity to modify the digital pen’s software in a way in which it can beat Apple’s stylus.

Microsoft has also come with one more solution. Users whose Surface Pro 4s have a screen that flicker have the warranty to have it replaced in the company’s warranty replacement programme.

There is not a big difference between their RAM, Surface Pro is also available with 16GB aside from 4GB, and 8GB had by Surface Go, and they both have LTE and fully adjustable kickstands up to 165 degrees.

What else they have in common is the microSD, 5MP front camera and 8MP rear camera, Windows Hello Facial Recognition, WiFi, 4.1 Bluetooth, same ports and dual speakers.

However, you can go with Surface Go if you do not mind a smaller screen and do not find all the extra horsepower as a must have. If you would use the device for production or creative purposes, Surface Pro gives you an additional amount of strength and a slightly bigger screen which will help you create more and more prominent content. As long as you know how to take advantage of it, Surface Go will suit your expectations.
