This is a somewhat difficult category to judge, since the iPad Pro and Surface Pro 9 use totally different operating systems. iPad Pro rocks the excellent M1 chip, but less RAM in higher-spec models.Pro 9 5G will feature the new Microsoft SQ3 processor.Surface Pro 9 has powerful 12th-gen Intel chips.There are no winners here, but there is a loser: the consumer. We'd just like to take a moment to say that this sucks tremendously, especially since both manufacturers are keen to tout the laptop-aping capabilities of their respective tablets. Lastly, both the Surface Pro 9 and iPad Pro are best used with their accompanying keyboard cover and stylus that's the Type Cover and Surface Slim Pen 2 from Microsoft, and the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil from - you guessed it - Apple. The iPad Pro has a greater variety of SSD sizes (ranging from 128GB to 2TB), while the Surface Pro 9 can be purchased with more RAM (up to 32GB against the iPad Pro's 16GB maximum).
The Surface Pro 9 has a wider variety of models available while every iPad Pro can be purchased with 5G support thanks to the Apple M1 chip that powers them, you'll need to buy a non-Intel version of the Surface Pro 9 that uses the new Microsoft SQ3 CPU if you want your Windows tablet to have 5G connectivity. Naturally, the pricing fluctuates a lot once you start customizing the components, but the upper-tier models of these two tablets also sit close together in price at $2,399 / £2,149 / AU$3,549 for the top-spec iPad Pro and $2,599 / £2,599 / AU$4,149 for the most powerful Surface Pro 9. The larger version starts at $1,099 / £999 / AU$1,649, which actually makes it more expensive than the Surface Pro 9 in some markets. Unlike the Surface Pro 9, the iPad Pro is available in two sizes the full-size 12.9-inch model and the cheaper 11-inch model. While on paper the starting price of the Apple iPad Pro makes it a clear winner in this category, it's worth noting that you're literally getting a whole lot less device for that $799 / £749 / AU$1,199 starting price. Let us start by saying that neither of these are going to make it onto our best cheap tablets list. Keyboard and stylus for both sold separately.
