This holiday shopping season, both Microsoft and Apple have tablets that they claim can replace your laptop.

I've used both the Apple iPad Pro, which starts at $799, and the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, which starts at $899, extensively at this point.

And I can tell you that if you're looking for a great-looking, gigantic tablet to get stuff done, it's hard to go wrong.

Here's why I think the iPad Pro is great, but also why I'd recommend the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 for most users this holiday season.
