I am with you, I like the surface a lot better than my ipad2. But I get that its all based on what you're using it for, I need office and internet, so the surface is awesome.
If I wanted to play games then the iPad is probably better. But I don't really play games so really its a kids toy. But still I've had to wipe my ipad2 clean and start over three times, that thing is not infallible.
I guess I don't get the love affair with apple. I owned an apple iPhone. It was an awful little tiny little phone. Tiny. So tiny. And the battery was so horrendous but at least it was more expensive and the camera sucked.
