Surface Pro is the power of a PC!! AND Tablet!

Microsoft Surface Pro.. shits on iPad in every way. It has an Intel HD 4000 graphics card and Intel i5 processor, not to mention 128gb, USB 3.0 port, mini HDMI port, attachable keyboard. Now tell me.. how is iPad better? :)

HA! Database VIEWER... Get it? ARM processors simply DON'T have the power for this.. Surface Pro is the ONLY tablet which allows you to carry your entire database with you! imagine the power that provides... to look up ANY item on the fly!

[IAmNumber4000]

An app called Database Viewer Plus.

] can prove you Wrong in 1000 ways! but I'll go for an easy one. Try doing Database on your iPad and latter tell me How you did. Don't lie!
