Tablet computers are usually a popular purchase for tech enthusiasts, and this time around, it looks like folks will have their pick of either Apple's latest offering or Microsoft's newest device.
Through a side-by-side comparison, more can be revealed about what each device is capable of bringing to the table.
Starting with the all-important processor, Apple's iPad Pro will be powered by an A9x chip that will supposedly allow it to work 1.9 times faster than earlier models from the company. The new processor also allows it to supposedly outperform about 80 percent of portable PCs in the market.
When it comes to Microsoft's Surface Pro 4, unfortunately, there is a little less clarity when it comes to what its processor will ultimately be. As of now, it is believed that it will end up having either Intel's Core M processor or one of the Core i5 or i7 models. It's also believed that the Surface Pro will wind up featuring the new Skylake chipset as opposed to Broadwell, according to Tech Radar.
Moving onto displays, Apple's iPad Pro has a particularly big one, measuring at 12.9 inches, according to CNet. Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 will offer a bit more variety on this front, as people can either choose to get the smaller 12-inch model of the new device or its larger 14-inch variant, according to Neurogadget.
As for the cameras of the respective devices, Apple's iPad Pro is expected to have one 8-megapixel iSight camera situated on its back, while the Surface Pro 4 will have two 5-megapixel cameras located up front and on its back.
If the options for internal storage are important to potential buyers, then they should know that the Surface Pro 4 will reportedly have four internal storage variants, and those are 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB, and 500 GB. For the iPad Pro, there will be a 32 GB model, one at 128 GB, and one more which will be a 128 GB Long-Term Evolution variant.
These are some of the vital specs of both the iPad Pro and the Surface Pro 4 and with these things known, it may be a bit easier to determine which one could potentially be a better fit for the user's lifestyle.
