TechnoBuffalo on why the Surface Pro 4 is their favorite tablet:

I post this video because I think that it's a valid opinion that deviates from my own. They just ran [another piece about how the iPad Pro is a disappointment](http://www.technobuffalo.com/videos/ipad-pro-revisted-review/?ref=birchtree.me) and is not a laptop replacement.

> In Jon’s opinion, the iPad Pro is Apple’s lame attempt at a Surface Pro knockoff—but it falls well short of Microsoft’s hybrid. 

I won't deny that the Surface Pro does *more* than the iPad Pro, but I don't think that means it's *better*. I'm more productive on iOS than I am on Windows, so what do I care if the Surface has more Windows features?

**But** I'm not saying that my opinion or needs are the same for everyone. Jon Rettinger has different needs from me and has different preferences. Just don't be the [jackass who blindly discounts the stuff you don't like](http://www.loopinsight.com/2016/01/25/microsoft-surface-tablets-malfunction-during-nfl-game/?ref=birchtree.me).
