Definitely iPad Pro - I love the surface, but my only device apart from phone is the iPad and it’s the best computer I’ve had for general computer use... granted it still isn’t awesome for MS Office stuff, but it’s gradually improving there - for what you said I think the iPad would be great
Good choice op. You’ll enjoy it.
Ipad
Go to Best Buy and play around with them for a while to figure out which one you like using more.
My boyfriend is a tech nerd and loves his surface pro. It functions as a real computer as well, unlike iPad
You mentioned You’re looking for a device for recreational and note taking. Have you ever used windows in tablet mode before? The experience is unpleasant. My friend is a PM at Microsoft and he got a top of the line surface pro that costs 3k+ and he hated using it in tablet mode. My work computer is a Dell 2 in 1 with a magic pen. I wish I could love the device but using it in tablet mode is a no-no. As a laptop, the surface you’re looking to buy doesn’t have good specs either. The iPad, at least is good at being a tablet. Just my 2-cents. I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to go with.
I honestly believe tablets are so good now most people can use them as their everyday personal device. Most not all people don't need the functionality of a desktop. So when you think about it as a replacement $1000 doesn't seem so bad. But if you are only using it as a supplement it can be a steep price.
I second surface
Thanks friends! Yeah the surface is $700 (i5 8 ram 128ssd) vs the 64gb iPad Pro 11 that’s running about $750-$780 which is just a tablet. My only concern was writing with the pen and ease of use aspect of the iPad but seems like the surface is a better bang for your buck
Op - just got an Ipad pro 11 inch, wifi only, 256gb on sale from bestbuy for 625 before taxes. You’ll need to sign up for a student discount which doesn’t require edu account. This is a great deal if you are still in the market
