Microsoft Offering $200 for iPad Trade-Ins
- Thread starter Smurfboy
- Start date
Interesting. Might not be a bad deal for people looking to upgrade from an older model. I'm curious as to how many people would actually switch, because once you already have a bunch of Apps purchased, it seems to me you would want to stick with a device that would allow access.
I just picked up an iPad 4 over the summer, so I'm pretty content. Surface looks pretty cool, though.

Hm, for some reasons, Surface Pro 2/RT doesn't seem appeal to me. I don't know. It's almost as it's nothing new to be exciting about. In the back of my mind, it seems that MS is trying too hard to please everyone. All I can say is good luck and maybe it'll sell well this time.
I don't have an iPad but if I did I wouldn't for the main reason that when it comes to lap tops, computers, phones, etc. I'm an Apple guy.
I'm taking DJ classes because it's a hobby of mine and the program I use, Serato Scratch Live, goes hand in hand with the Apple products. Is like they are made for each other. Don't get me wrong, the program works with Windows too but is not as smooth as it is with an Apple device.
I guess that's the main reason why I'm an Apple head. So for that reason alone I wouldn't trade in an iPad if I had one.

This is just beast, I am getting the Surface 2 and my wife was going to get a google tablet but after what they can do with it and how easy and comes with a full office and skype, she was sold and so was I.
I should add, i have an iPad2 in my household (its my gfs) and she mentions to people when they ask about my surface that she prefers it.
if you are reliant on Apple's obvious large and rather awesome ecosystem then i'd say stay away, but if you're a casual tablet user with browsing, reading, music video and gaming here and there....imo...its far and away a better tablet with multitasking alone. I generally keep my twitter open with whatever else i'm doing.
oh and of course Office...i've used it as my travel work "laptop' before.

I did watch the conference, much like I watched the first Surface conference. If merely having a conference means your product is going to succeed, someone forgot to tell that to the first Surface.
