I pad or surface RT for college?
I'm a college student and i want to get a surface or ipad for taking notes in class and doing homework. All of my homework is done online at a website so i will need the internet for that and will need to print out my papers also but there's Wi-Fi at my school and my house so i do not need the 4g i pad model. I will get the cheapest models of course so the 16g ipad with just Wi-Fi, the ipad mini 16g or 32g or the surface with 32 g i would like in depth reviews and pros and cons of each i would also need a keyboard for the ipads i'm leaning twords the surface because of the keyboard and usb ports. I do not know much about both items also i would use whichever one i get for the next 3-5 years. Also i'm not too worried about downloading music and using apps i do not download much music prob 200 songs and don't play much games because i have an iphone anyway so this will be mainly for school use.
Being an Owner of both, definitely the surface. Feature rich, is widescreen, have stereo speakers, built in office 2013, gorilla glass, and even a USB Port. It also have regedit, gpedit.msc etc and can run programs recompiled for ARM(which includes 7-Zip, DOSBox, Bochs Emulator, Free Download Manager and other goodies) when you run a "jailbreak" script.
Sorry but had to give a link to this review by some youtube user, found it hilarious but relevant:
The iPad… A large iPhone junk without many features… Waste of $$$ I say. Could have gotten an i7 4820K and GA-X79-UD5 with those $$$ spent.
IPad is the bigger version of iPhone. You'll get almost all same features out of it in just the bigger screen. You can find replacement for MS Office easily. You can always connect an external keyboard.
For USB port is something you won't get from iPad or iPad Mini though, so the Surface tablet is the sole provider of this between these 3 devices.
Review comparison between iPad vs Surface tablet, would definitely be helpful on this decision:
