Should I get an iPad 4 or Microsoft Surface tablet for Christmas?

[gregory]

I am a Sophomore in high school and my school is encouraging bring your own device. But not many people do. I am looking to use the tablet i choose for class and personal use.
P.S. I love to play games

Microsoft Surface tablet.

I would go with the one that has a better keyboard. Look long term since you will use it for two years or more.

iPad 4 is by far your best choice. Objective reviews of the Surface result in terms like clunky, confusing and disappointing. Software preloaded and necessary for function of the Surface also takes up nearly 16 gb of the total available storage, so when you buy a 32 gb Surface, you only really get about 16 gb of discretionary storage. The iPad is a polished product with many times more available apps for work and play than Microsoft can offer. Get the iPad 4 and you'll be happy with your choice.

Microsoft surface RT
it really is an amazing tablet
it has a 10.6" screen with very good and high resolution
colors look clear and sharp on it
the tablet build quality is amazing
it feels perfect and its made from solid materials
the os on the tablet which is windows 8 is also amazing
its fast and fluid and also simple and easy to use
its made with touch in mind
the web browser is extremely good its fast and pages load up quickly
and it supports flash which is a huge plus and which is something that is lacking on most android tablets and all ios tablets
battery life is very good and would easily get you through more than 10 hours of heavy use
you can download apps from the windows marketplace which has many high quality apps
thousands of apps are being added everyday
more than 2000 apps were added in less than 2 days
it does have more than 20000 apps now and like I said it will keep on increasing
it has dual cameras and both of them take amazing photos and videos
it has deep social network integration(skype,facebook,twitter,linkedin and so on)
you also get Microsoft office 2013 for free on it
and if you get the keyboard and attach it to it you'll have a laptop
overall the surface is an amazing tablet and you should get it
hope i helped
