  1. You guys have pricing ALL wrong. Surface Pro 4 is 50 dollars cheaper for the same storage than the Apple, AND it comes with the Pen. So tablet for tablet with the pen, the Surface is 150 dollars cheaper than the iPad Pro.

    1. The pricing that you mention is indeed correct. However, the pricing mentioned in the story is specifically for the Indian market, converted to US Dollars for the convenience of our readers. We appreciate you getting back to us. Happy reading!
