Why would you buy an iPad if you can spend a lil more money and get a windows 8 tablet? The windows 8 tablet can do almost as everything my PC can do. Does your iPad have Photoshop? nope didn't think so. I don't need to pay $1 for all the same apps i can get off the internet for free. An iPad is useless, the only people who use it are kids to go to school and show off.

The Surface may run excel but you are not able to enable macros. This is very disappointing as it was the main reason I brought it. Have not been able to find a cover/protector for it as yet.

I wouldn't buy a windows 8 tablet because I don't buy tablets for productivity I'd use my perfectly working laptop with windows 7 on it if I wanted to get shit done. I use a lot of apps, so iOS is better for me.

Not that I don't like Windows 8 but whats up with everyone bashing the Ipad. Its still a good tablet for home entertainment. I've been a Windows person all my life but still I think the Ipad is awsome.

The only drawback is the actual tablet. It's a bad tablet. A great computer though.

Windows 8 is awesome love the change. Love how Microsoft has moulded desktop and windows touch (windows metro style) in an all in one operating system. I am sick and tired of apple's restrictions and stupid rules.
