Better cameras
No one uses a tablet as their camcorder. Moot point.
, cellular
Lolwut? What does this even mean? Are you high?
better screen resolution
A shitty screen resolution that no standards actually support. It's just Apple being retarded, like when they decided they weren't going to put HDMI in their laptops anymore.
, lighter
My phone is lighter than your iPad. It must be better.
, costs less
Because it does less.
, longer battery life
Also because it does less.
, no crappy keypad mat
No keyboard at all, you mean.
, better screen dimensions
What does this even mean?
, OS made for touch ...
Yeah, it's called Windows 8. The OS on the iPad is, funny enough, not an OS at all. It's a glorified iPhone interface.
I still don't know why you'd pick the inferior machine just because it runs windows? If you want laptop capability, get a laptop. this does not work as a tablet and doesn't compete with laptops anywhere near the price. Its a monstrosity.
Look at the price of Ultrabooks, Thork. The Surface Pro is a much better deal than any of them. I'm not trying to argue that the Surface Pro is "better" than the iPad because they're not even remotely the same thing. The iPad is just a really big iPhone without the phone. Like Blanko said, there is no reason to have an iPad. Ever.
