Hot Hardware published a review on the Battle Of The Hybrids: Microsoft, Lenovo, Dell Stiff Competition For Apple iPad Pro
A quote from the article:
When Microsoft first announced the Surface Pro back in 2012 (it launched in early 2013), many Apple fans snickered. Here was Microsoft, releasing a somewhat thick and heavy tablet that not only had a kickstand, but also an ?odd? cover that doubled as a keyboard. And to top things off, the device made use of a stylus. The late Apple CEO Steve Jobs famously said in 2010, ?If you see a stylus, they blew it.?Battle Of The Hybrids: Microsoft, Lenovo, Dell Stiff Competition For Apple iPad Pro @ HotHardware
And many people thought that Microsoft did blow it, writing off nearly $1 billion in costs related to its Surface tablets during the first year. But Microsoft forged ahead with the Surface Pro 2, and later with the Surface Pro 3. Not only were customers becoming more aware of the innovative and powerful tablet, but competitors were also taking note.
