New versions of the Microsoft Surface Pro and Apple iPad Pro have been announced or released, offering OLED displays and excellent efficiency. Which is better?
Coincidentally or not, the two most important tablets of 2024 were announced within a couple of weeks of each other. First was the updated Apple iPad Pro, which was announced on May 7, 2024, and began shipping on May 15, 2024. Then, on May 20, 2024, a radically new Microsoft Surface Pro was announced and is expected to ship in June, 2024, carrying Microsoft ’s new Copilot+ designation.
The iPad Pro comes in two versions with either an 11-inch or a 13-inch tandem OLED display. Choosing an iPad Pro is a bit complicated, with the 256GB and 512GB versions coming with a 9-core CPU M4 and 8GB of RAM and the 1TB and 2TB versions coming with a 10-core CPU M4 and 16GB of RAM. The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $999 with 256GB and ramps up to $1,999 with 2TB, while the 13-inch iPad Pro is $1,299 with 256GB and $2,299 with 2TB.
The Surface Pro runs Windows 11 on ARM, a variant that’s currently optimized exclusively for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X ARM chipsets. Windows 11 on ARM works just like Windows 11 for Intel, with the exception that apps need to either run natively on the Qualcomm chipset or through emulation. It remains to be seen how well apps run in emulation and how well Windows on ARM supports the variety of peripherals available for Windows 11 on Intel.
The Surface Pro has a new detachable keyboard, the Surface Pro Flex, which can now be used either attached to the Surface Pro or as a standalone Bluetooth keyboard. It offers an angled design for more ergonomic typing, along with a touchpad that’s larger than previous Type Covers and that utilizes a haptic engine. The Apple Magic Keyboard connects magnetically to the iPad Pro and receives power and pairing via the Smart Connector.
We haven’t seen benchmarks on products shipping with the Snapdragon X chipset, but it’s likely that the X Elite will be around the same speed as the 10-core M4 and the X Plus around the same speed as the 9-core M4. GPU performance is completely up in the air at this point, although preliminary testing seems to show the M4’s GPU being somewhat faster.
