If you're trying to think of the Surface 2 Pro as a total replacement
for a desktop or notebook computer, then you're right, 64GB is pretty
darned minimalistic for a Windows 8.1 machine. And the same would be
true for an iPad as well, if you were to consider the iPad as a
replacement for a Mac desktop or notebook.
But if you're considering the iPad merely as a portable computing device
which is an adjunct to a desktop or notebook computer, you must consider
the Surface 2 Pro in the same light, and 64GB is just as adequate for an
adjunct device in the Windows world as it is in the Apple world.
