The iPad Pro 2021 is a gorgeous sliver of machined aluminum, with thin bezels outlining the display. Each slate can double as a decent laptop, but that’s only possible via their respective keyboards. It would have been preferable if both tablets came with said accessories because of their usefulness. Top-end model aside, the Surface Pro 8 is cheaper all around, even with accessories included. The pen costs $129 (opens in new tab) while the keyboard costs $179 (opens in new tab). Similar to the iPad Pro’s accessories, the Surface Slim Pen 2 and Surface Pro Signature keyboard are not included with the Surface Pro 8.

The most expensive model costs $1,899 and sports an Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. This includes a $1,199 model with an Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD on the lower end. The Graphite model comes in only four configurations at the time of this writing. Surface Pro 8 with Pro Signature keyboard (Image credit: Tom's Guide)
