New Surface Pro 7 vs. iPad Pro released by Microsoft

Microsoft keeps going after the iPad with Microsoft Surface ads, and today, one more such comparison video reached the web to showcase just how advanced the Surface Pro 7 is versus the Apple device.

This time, Microsoft uses the video to show that its 2-in-1 device is much more capable than the iPad Pro, and it does this by highlighting the main features of Surface Pro.

First and foremost, it’s the integrated kickstand, which allows you to use the device on a desk just like a traditional laptop. And then, it’s the dedicated keyboard, the connectivity ports, and everything else, all of which are available at a lower price than the iPad Pro.

While it’s not yet clear how effective these ads actually are, it’s pretty clear Microsoft truly wants to show the world the Surface Pro 7 isn’t only a productivity device, but a computer that allows users to take their desktop PCs pretty much everywhere.

The spring hardware event

In the meantime, Microsoft is believed to be planning a new Surface event that will take place this spring and which could witness the debut of a new Surface Laptop.

The Surface Laptop 4 is therefore expected to come with substantial upgrades under the hood, so we’ll get the latest-generation hardware, such as a new processor and more RAM.

On the Surface Pro front, nobody knows exactly when the Surface Pro 8 is projected to make its debut, but after the debut of the Surface Pro 7+, which is essentially just an upgraded Pro 7 aimed at enterprises, everybody is hoping for a more modern overhaul with improvements in terms of design too.

Microsoft has so far remained completely tight-lipped on everything related to the Surface Pro lineup.
