Apple philosophy: Lets make a perfect phone, a perfect tablet, and a perfect laptop and let them all function their own intended purpose, removing anything unnecessary or overly complicated.
M$ philosophy: LOL LETS JUST MASH UP EVERYTHING INTO 1 DEVICE WITH FUCKHUEG PROCESSORZ AND GAMEZ AND HOPE IT WORKS!
why does /g/ support the latter over the former, again?
Because we don't

>removing anything unnecessary or overly complicated.
A headphone jack is dead simple and USB A is pretty cheap and easy to include.
Apple removes ports for no reason other than to sell dongles over functionality. /g/ isn't one random dude. I personally don't like either.

checked, it isn't but it really kills me inside not getting a macbook because of the lack of thermal control and lackluster ports. Give it 2-3 years and it'll be fine

Just because you can't afford it doesn't make it bad. It's not meant for you anyway.

I could afford a new Macbook every other month and still have money left. I just don't. Because I'm not a fucking moron.

For what the tech emthusiast who knows when something is over priced. Also The headphone jack removal was a cash grab. Here just watch this since I don't want to write out an entire fucking essay for you.

>Does what you need it to
>Play Angry Birds HD
>>58990452
>Use a macbook or iphone if you need to do something else
so you need to buy other products and use them instead of the one you just bought? If the ipad pro had macOS instead of iOS you'd have an argument
>>58989975
what the fuck is with this argument? Do you know how rich people stay rich? They don't waste their money on stupid shit.
>remove functionality and charge more
>force you to buy more products and dongles to do something that used to be possible with one device

I own a Surface Pro 3 and an iPad Pro (the smaller one.) The above is true except for a few things:
Surface Pro:
> The SP4 pen actually makes the stylus experience much better
but
> I cracked my screen (very easily) and don't think I'm going to go through the trouble of getting it replaced.
>It's a nice statement, it just doesn't really fit into any of my needs.
iPad Pro:
>Notability + Apple Pencil is glorious.
>Apple Pencil's 30 second charging is very impressive
> Use it every day
but
>I get frustrated when I have to go back and forth from my MBP and iPad. They are both the best tools for their respective applications, but the iPad Pro is so powerful at what it does, I think it would be incredible at everything else. (which of course is a cognitive bias)
>>58990836
>so you need to buy other products and use them instead of the one you just bought?
Yes. Unless you make regularly make cellular calls and GPS directions with your PC.
>>58991627
>inconsistent UI
>or a gimped "pro" device that cant use "pro" apps
the surface is arguably a better tablet than an iPad Pro

Like being able to install software from sources other than a single one for which Apple is the gatekeeper?
>>58992013
I mean, the SP4 is a desktop replacement. The iPad Pro is just an oversized tablet
>>58994622
This.
Sideloading apps is a hueg part of Android's popularity.
APK piracy is cool and dont try to tell me otherwise.
>>58989892
Because customization and games are better than looking like a hipster. Honestly, I could build a PC 4x as good with the same budget.
>>58990433
Macbook Pro > Surface Book
Surface Pro > iPad Pro
simple enough
