The battle begins between Apple and Microsoft as the two tech giants unleash the year’s most sought after laplets, which are combined, high-end versions of laptops and tablets. The two rivals have outdone themselves by crafting distinguishing features and layouts integrated into the iPad Pro and the Microsoft Surface Pro 4. See this.

If you have a penchant for drawing, sketching or designing the iPad Pro is for you. The laplet offers you a pencil with a rubber at its tip, which is the biggest unique selling proposition of the device. Designers in any field will find the laplet quite useful and performance based, reports The Week.

Measured in 305.7 mm x 220.6 mm x 6.9 mm, the device weighs 713 grams. Packed with 2048 x 2732 resolution, its multitouch screen is a great experience to savour.

The laplet runs on iOS 9, upgradable to iOS 9.1 and uses Apple A9X chipset. With 4 GB RAM and 32 GB internal memory expandable to 128 GB, the iPad Pro is a big bet. Featuring an 8 MP primary shooter with 3264 x 2448 pixels, and a secondary 1.2 MP camera, iPad Pro takes excellent pictures.

Some of the other connectivity options include Wi-Fi, 802.11 WLAN, v4.0 Bluetooth, GPS and v3.0 USB options.

Microsoft Surface Pro 4

Microsoft has nailed it this time with the killer looks of the new Surface Pro 4. The fourth iteration phablet replaces the concept of a laptop and tablet, but emerges with something fresh, new and a unique hybrid concept.

The company got the best designers from over the world to design its chic, sleek and shiny surface with a stupendous display marked with 3:2 ratio and a2,736 x 1,824 resolution for 267 ppi. If you compare the features to its previous generations, you’ll know the Surface Pro 4 is a huge leap in design and performance.

Take a look at its new keyboard that ditches the squishy, flat keys crammed into most of the laptops available today. Amateurs will find the surface pen quite helpful as it smoothly glides across the screen. Some other key features include 12.30-inch display, Intel core M3 processor, a 5 MP front camera, 4 GB of RAM and an 8GB rear camera.

To sum it up, the iPad Pro wins the battle against Microsoft with its chic range of features and creative options.
