I really can't understand those fanboyish brainwashed comparisons Surface/MacBook. Would you buy a car if you had to dissect it to change the oil, the brakes or the wheels?
In both cases it's a worthless waste of money to wear a brand's sticker on a tool that's no better than any other cheaper, and made in china too, products. Pointless arguments on benchmarks or architectures to end up using email, facebook, youtube or whatelse where speed connection is a far more limiting factor.
