Surface or iPad?

Microsoft tops Apple in tablet satisfaction (including design)

Have you noticed a certain giddiness in some of your friends lately?

I'm thinking about the ones who use a Microsoft Surface.

I only ask because J.D Power has just emitted its US Tablet Satisfaction Study and it declared that Surface owners experience deeper sensations of satisfaction than iPad buyers.

Apple fanpersons might turn pale when they learn the main reasons for this greater Surface joy are, according to the Power people, "its top rankings in the features and styling & design factors."


And the darkness descends. Apple being beaten in styling and design? Does Jony Ive know? Will someone dare tell him?

J.D Power says the Surface scored 855 out of a possible 1,000. This beat Apple by 6 points.

The study relied on the feelings of 2,238 US tablet owners who have owned their tablets for less than a year. It was performed between October and December 2016.

It measures tablet joy across five areas: performance, ease of operation, features, styling and design, and cost.

Surface owners were, apparently, most elated with the Surface's connectivity, pre-loaded apps and accessories. They were also moved by machine's size, build and, yes, the beauty of the design.

My wife has an iPad, she's satisfied with it.
I don't use it, don't like it.
It cannot replace my PC.

I'd sooner stay on the Surface than iSink.
