"The successor to the applauded Surface Book line, the Surface Laptop Studio was the first generation in a new approach by Microsoft to compete with the Macbook Pro and iPad Pro in one device. "
Except that the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro run different OSes and different apps. MacOS is a desktop OS running mouse/keyboard apps and iPadOS is a tablet OS running actual touch screen apps.
A desktop OS (Windows) with mouse/keyboard apps is not a tablet. Unplugging the mouse and keyboard does not turn a Windows laptop into a tablet. Each version of Windows after 8 has been less touch screen oriented.
There is an obvious reason why iPads don't run MacOS and MacOS apps. There is an equally obvious reason why iPads own the tablet market and Windows "tablets" do not.
