so you can't use full fledged Adobe editing software on this?
was hoping they throw in a whopping 5K display
I'm wondering if tthe bezels are too thin that makes it awkard to hold a 13" slab
Giant iPad for me to play Hearthstone... not that I would...
The ability to use Office as demo'd is neat...but aside from that, those instances demo'd are rarely used, can it be done on the surface pro?

Nope it's a toy. You can do things that demo nicely and look impressive, but nothing actually useful.
Business users have been complaining the iPad size is too small for presentation. I also find it small when teaching a class of 5 adults, always need a projector.

The Surface Pro 3 has enjoyed success, so I see no reason this iPad cannot emulate its popularity. The form factor of the two products is similar if not identical. There are many people who prefer the Apple aura over Microsoft, just look in your local Starbucks. It appears Apple is trying to target this device more towards content creation.

Whether something is a toy is purely subjective. I think the way people use technology has change greatly in the past few years.
Just because it doesn't have any note worthy spec or even full version os doesn't mean that it can't be use for work. What is consider using technology for Work is also very subjective.
Case in point the surface pro 3, great tablet. Versatile and ran full version os. But a lot of the people that brought it simply to ran PowerPoint and excel and word document, they can now accomplish the same thing on the iPad pro with less processing power and spec and what not. Is the person is doing excel is a inferior spec tablet not doing work vs the same guy doing excel on a superior spec tablet?
Similar the surface pro can ran full photoshop software (how well I can't attest) the iPad pro can't. But designer can use some specialize app for the iOS to do ui stretches drafts on the spot while having a meeting with the client are they not doing work because they are using a "toy"
I see the toy justification. Majority of the people are going to use it to play games and to surf on the shitter, but t doesn't discount the fact that dumb down device like iPad CAN be a workhorse.
One thing that dumb down device like iPad family excel in my opinion are industry specific apps and program. Stuff like healthcare for example could benefit from having an app for a specific function that doesn't really need a high spec to ran.
I use iPads and even my dumb iPhone for work everyday. I use app specifically made for the iOS to interact with industry specific hardware. Table like surface pro simply have no place in my daily work interaction. Do I see the benefit of having usb or having a full os etc? I do but it simply have no place in my workplace where I need to get an icon bring up the app and for it to work in less than 10 second and continue working in the same app for the next 5 hours. In short me working with a tablet at work consist of couple main apps I use and rely on. None of these app require very high spec but due to the poplarity of iPad and ios's hardware unity, it is only available on iOS.
Just want to throw it out there. I think the days of needing fully spec out machine to do work is long gone. All industry are utilizing tech in their own way and alot simply do not need a full spec work horse of a tablet or computer. and that yes iPad can be and are used for work, however absurd it may seem to advanced tech users.
Before being called out for being an apple fanboy. I admit I am. And I also have to admit I have a surface pro 3 in Addition to my iPad. Ironically the surface pro 3 is also use for work, I use it to ran a very specific program that simply will not happen on the iPad. In that sense I use whatever technology that's best for the job.
The difference however end when work finish. When it comes to relaxing dicking around and generally not working, I always go for the iPad.

i think you're missing the point of the surface. nobody bought a surface because they wanted a microsoft tablet, everyone bought one because it has the form factor of a tablet but its a full blown pc.

It's iOS though, kinda hard to do content creation on a mobile OS.

Yup that's why in my other reply I said that it can support some specific applications. There are definitely some instances where a tablet is extremely useful.
I really do miss having one around the house, I really enjoyed watching TV on it before bed. Now I do that on my computer, and I seem to stay up a lot later because of it.
I have tablets all over the house that I've collected over the years. Galaxy Tab 10 that I got as a freebie from Telus sits on the coffee table collecting dust. Nexus 7 I won from a tech conference sits on my night stand collecting dust. iPad 3 I got from work sits next to the toilet to play a few quick games.
When it comes down to it, there isn't anything I can do on a tablet that I can't do on a smartphone and a tablet can't do everything I can do on my laptop... and my Yosemite/Windows 10 dual boot Dell Precision M3800 ultrabook is one kick ass laptop.
