Craig Grannell, on people comparing the Surface RT and iPad:
It’ll be interesting to see if this is how others weigh up the pros and cons of the two systems. But to me, an extra 16 GB of storage space doesn’t cancel out a vastly better display—the thing that you spend all your time looking at and interacting with.
It’s about far more than a screen, however — the iPad has a huge ecosystem of apps, and bump in storage can make up for that. Windows RT is Microsoft starting over, and it’s important not to forget that.
