I carry both at times. During commute and travel I use the iPad for development as it has smaller form factor and longer battery life. Developing on it is enjoyable given the right “homework” with the automated deployment. Obviously the feedback is not as fast as using the surface as all compilations and vm or containers works locally.
I think the right tool for the right situation would best describe this. Mind you that the comparison was with surface pro 4, as I understood the new Surface should have better battery life.
I hope this helps others and prevent them from getting massive data usage bills. I was pretty surprised when my provider SMS-ed me saying that I have 5 MB left on my quota when I just bought 700MB data allotment in that very morning.
