I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with i7 processor and I would not trade my Macbook Pro (3 1/2 years old) for it. The Surface frequently heats up to be too hot to hold as a tablet and just isn't nearly as fast.

There must be something wrong with it then if it heats up too hot to hold, and its i7 doesn't make it more performant than an old MBP

The overheat problem is quite common with i7 Surface Pro 3. See also Microsoft Community thread[1]. Personally I have the i7 512GB but do not have the overheat issue, although I do have the problem of the fan running very loud sometimes under light usage.

Too be too hot to hold doesn't mean it's blistering hot just not comfortable to hold.
