What's the refresh rate of the Surface? 60Hz -- when on battery power it's 30Hz. The iPad Pro is 120Hz. It has a 12 core GPU, a six-core CPU.

That's huge for content creators.

Huh? You can't just compare numbers. Surface Pros GPU and CPU in i7 configuration are significanty faster than iPad Pros.

It's also 3x-4x the price depending on config. Surface Pro's are laptops with touch screens. They have basically no quality touch apps available. iOS has a HUGE lead in the app ecosystem department for touch based apps.

1. You can't just compare core counts, think Mediatek vs Qualcomm 2. Surfaces run 60fps on battery, not sure where you got that from
