>Yeah, but let’s be realistic. Go to Microsoft’s site for pricing. The Surface starts from about $799, and goes up from there. That’s multiple times the cost of the iPad, at the low end for new models can be had for $329 at the Apple site. A huge difference in price. Refurbished models even less, and new boxed items of the previous version still being sold by Apple for $200. The Surface Book starts at $1499. The Surface Studio starts at $2999. These are starting prices! A buyer would be paying much more for a configuration that is worthwhile!

On Amazon the surface pro 4 starts at 688. Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is 428. With a surface you’re getting a bigger screen with higher resolution and fully functional windows OS. I really like mine.

You're talking two-year old models for Surface? Without comparing to older iPad models? Let's have fair comparisons. You can get older iPad models real cheap, and compare pricing. Talk latest versions of both, and compare.
