Maybe one day iPadOS users will get what using a full blown OS on a tablet actually means.

Think different.



The very first review I found

https://www.pcworld.com/article/2795490/microsoft-surface-pr...

This compact tablet runs on a Snapdragon X Plus chip and is built for casual browsing and office work. It’s not high-end

The screen has a semi-high brightness IPS panel, 2196×1464 pixel resolution, and a 60 or 90 Hz frame rate. You’ll have to set it up manually; dynamic frequency is not supported. It’s not full pro quality on the screen,

With a 12-inch screen and 3:2 aspect ratio

The processor doesn’t even stack up well against the cheap base model iPad.


That is not thinking different.


So it’s slower, a worse display, a worse aspect ratio for a tablet, and Microsoft’s x86 emulator is notoriously slow and there are many fewer ARM native apps?
