It would surprise anyone but it's true that Apple CEO Tim Cook got his new Surface Pro 4 from Microsoft during Monday's conclusion at the China Development Forum in Beijing. It happened that each of the 300 attendees has been given a brand new Microsoft Surface Pro 4 that they could take home as a gift from the event's sponsor, the Microsoft company. Tim Cook was one of these attendees who got his own Microsoft Surface Pro 4 on Monday.

It can be seen on Twitter, which Hyken Wong posted, that there appears Tim Cook's nameplate with the alluring Microsoft Surface Pro 4 beside it. "Haha, all the SP4 there in Development Forums, even Tim Cook has to use it," he further tweeted, as The Science Times reported.

According to CNET, few of the attendees during the said forum on Beijing have actually used the free laptops that were given as gifts to them. Tim Cook was not seen even inspecting this machine after all since no updates are being reported about it yet. He may have inspected it in private but for some security issues, he would be more cautious in using it for curiosity's sake.

It can be recalled that Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is the laptop that Microsoft uses in mocking the iPad Pro in advertisements. Tim Cook even referred to this laptop as "a cross between a fridge and a toaster." Tim Cook made this statement as if he will never turn his head on such a gadget as the Microsoft Surface Pro. This is very normal to CEOs of leading global companies. However, with the event's turn of giving this particular machine as a free gift to attendees that include himself, intrigue cannot be avoided.

Although this is not the very first time that the Apple CEO has been on photos with a Microsoft product, many people are still intrigued whether he would switch to this particular hybrid of tablet-laptop. There's a big possibility, however, that Tim Cook will use his Microsoft Surface Pro 4 for a flawless iPad kickstand as many users did with utmost convenience.
