  • Compared: Microsoft's Surface Go 2 versus Apple's 10.2-inch iPad and iPad Air

    First, a quick correction:

    The Surface Go 2 is not limited to Windows 10 in S mode -- it comes supplied with both versions. If you want full Windows, the setup takes only a few seconds.

    I have an iPad Pro 2017 and a Surface Go 2. I agree with other posts here that these are different kinds of devices. 

    I love iPads but they are very focused on being tablets. The majority of my computer work, though, requires desktop applications for programming, music production, multi-media production and so on. There are individual apps I love to use on the iPad, but it doesn't come close to replicating the larger application environment I use on a regular laptop. 

    The Surface Go 2 is a second computer for me, an ultraportable for travel. It doesn't equal my main computer in performance (of course) but it does a surprisingly good job running those desktop applications, and lets me get work done on them while travelling, something my iPad can't do.
