This is an article which tells about why you should buy a Microsoft Surface Tablet than buying an Apple iPad 3. Well. there are many features and up-gradation which will make you surely to buy Surface Tablet when compared with Apple iPad. So read this article to know what features are more added with Microsoft Surface which makes it one step higher than Apple iPad.
Well said by someone "Every famous personality will have its competitor", which is true for Apple. Apple has continued its dominance in tablet market with the rumors spreading on iPad mini.
Currently, the iPad accounts for around 68% of the entire tablet market, not bad enough if compared with the amount of Android devices out there in the market. However, with the recent arrival of Microsoft's new tablet device called 'Surface', which will be on sale, Apple CEO Timothy D. Cook might be in deep thoughts for finding new ways they can hold the large share of the market they now enjoy. There are a few reasons that make Surface a challenger, but the three biggest reasons are as follows:
#1: Surface comes with USB
The only drawback with iPad ever since it was first introduced was lack of connectivity. It may not sound much to the Apple's fan, but with flash drive one can move your contents from your tablet to your PC / TV etc. which makes a big difference for many of us.
#2: The Windows OS
Despite the fact that Apple OS is more stable, Windows remains the most widespread operating system all over the world. The big giant Microsoft is aware of Apple's somewhat spectacular rise over the last couple of years.
#3: Surface is made for Enterprise
With Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) schemes on the up, many firms will be more likely to support Surface than an iPad, simply because it is expected to be more compatible with current organizational networks, most of which runs Microsoft products. Adding to this, the lack of the App Store ecosystem that Surface has and this suggests that Surface is intended more at this market. Though the cheaper, ARM-based variety is aimed more at the buyer market, it's difficult to see how well it will contest in the market which has been set up by iPad.
Final Verdict
It's too difficult to judge how these things will turn out in the near future, you only have to look at the Kindle Fire, the last supposed competitor to the iPad. Despite the hype at the time, the smoke has proved to be no danger to Apple at all and at the same time as it currently accounts for around 35% of the tablet market, this is going to fall further once Surface is out as well as Google Nexus 7 starts flooding into market.
However, this is the big daddy Microsoft and not Amazon, and this is what will sway many in favour of the Surface's tablet over the iPad. Two groups have existed for many years – those that love Microsoft and the other who loved Apple and so Big Daddy's boys will be munching on the bit to buy Surface.
