Surface Pro 3 Handily Outperforms iPad Air 2 and Nexus 9

An anonymous reader points to an interesting comparison of current tablets' peformance, as measured with the Geekbench benchmarking tool, which boils down various aspects of performance to produce a single number. The clear winner from the models fielded wasn't from Apple of Samsung (Samsung's entrants came much lower down, in fact), but from Microsoft: the i5-equipped Surface Pro 3, with a Geekbench score of 5069.; second place goes to the Apple iPad Air 2, with 4046. The Nexus 9 rated third, with 3537. One model on the list that U.S. buyers may not be familiar with is the Tesco Hudl 2, a bargain tablet which Trusted Reviews seems quite taken by.

Re:What an embarrassment for Microsoft

the keyboard that is of quality is not only 25$. Sure you can get one for 25 bucks, but it wont be of quality. i know this because i bought a 35$ one before

So you bought a crap $35 keyboard once, and a crap $1000 Surface Pro now - I detect a pattern.
