Another honest Apple Fanboy here. I'm honest when they screw up tho, I hate people who think they can do no wrong.
Also, if I had to pick one thing in the Apple family that is untouched as far as competition, it's the iPad.
Whenever someone mentions "tablet" I immediately think iPad. All other tablets to me are just toys.
The Surface is pretty solid and serves as a great replacement for a laptop.
But my point is, I have no idea what The Surface even is. And I can guarantee it isn't out selling the iPad line.
No doubt some tablets out there may be an iPad competitor, but I have no idea about them and I doubt they do anything that makes me care about them.
And that's why Apple is killing that market. The other tablets are dead in the water.
