[acesinghit]

Hello All,

I need urgent feedback on the subject matter, I understand these are considered to be probably the 3 best tablet pc options on the world market.

Please cast your vote so we can use this info to aid in our decision making, thanks a lot.

Why is this even being discussed?

Ipad Air hands down

[Ted_v2]

IPad. Coming from a android owner

[pugboy]

can any of them do true multitasking
eg play a youtube music video in the background whilst browsing something else ?

I want to believe this is a limitation of software and not hardware. I however also believe in eating curry once a day.

On another tablet (Dell Venue 8 Pro) running Windows 8.1, I was able to have YouTube running a movie while I was using MS Excel and had another website page open in the browser. The Surface 2 should be able to do the same.

The iPad is always a favorite thanks to marketing but I have some concerns:

Lack of Adobe flash
Lack of office 2013
Lack of USB ports
Lack of micro sd card slot
Lack of stylus
Lack of split screen multi-tasking
Weak secondary camera

The dual core a7 processor actually outpaces several of its quad core rivals but I suspect this is because iOS does not consume too much processing power as opposed to android and windows which are power hungry os's . They reduce a quad core to dual core like in actual performance. Lastly despite a low rating of 5MP it still produces competitive pictures.

Is this enough to head to the galaxy camp or productivity takes the win and thus head for the surface?

I'll let the poll and feedback decide....

lol people still use micro sd with the advent of all the avenues of cloud-based storage?

[Spitfir3]

in regards to tablets apple gets my unbias vote..the build quality just cannot be matched and well ios is as dumbed down as it gets for pure simplicity

i kinda lol'ed at people wanting a stylus doh...like who still uses that sheit?

[Dizzy28]

Samsung!!

An S-pen isn't simply a stylus

[pioneer]

Can't remember when last I used a flash drive

[acesinghit]

Lol not all directors and ceo's are tech savvy so the ability for stylus and USB support is a plus. But iCloud appears to be more limited than sky drive with the least storage. Google does same but on 2 platforms ie. Google drive and + with more storage and skydrive integrates with office.

This comparison is like comparing the aventador with the gtr and 911 turbo s. But only one will be chosen.

Ignore this fanboy.
Apple doesn't have it, so "there's no need for it."
There's no need for more storage and removable media....roight.

Anyway, The surface is my pick actually, it can actually fill the role of an actual pc, unlike the others, which are still mobiles.

samsung note 2014 can multitask (but limited to 2 windows)

On another tablet (Dell Venue 8 Pro) running Windows 8.1, I was able to have YouTube running a movie while I was using MS Excel and had another website page open in the browser. The Surface 2 should be able to do the same.

surface 2 is not running full windows 8.1 so it's multitasking is also limited to 2 windows:

"Dual-window multitasking on the Surface 2 is limited to only two apps at a time. It's also a landscape-only affair, because windows are forced to the left and right of the display, not the top and bottom."

i use the s-pen on a samsung note phone all the time for grocery lists etc. the s-pen on the note 2014 tablet is even better -- it's as good as writing with a pen on paper (using the papyrus app)

Check out the Lumia 2520, srs

When Apple ditched floppy drives people cyak

Same people today bawlin how ancient floppy drives were anyhow

[Shane18]

Wife has the surface first gen and I have the ipad. Surface hands down, does so much more right out of the box than the ipad, the usb comes in really handy at times too.

[Kukka]

Note 10.1 coming from a owner of one. No regrets so far. Not a fan boy of either apple or samsung. It really boils down to how you plan to use your tablet. For me the s-pen is a plus.
