Yes, my argument was not that the Surface was competitive in pricing. There are much more reasonable options in the Windows world.

Well you said “from MS,” so I took that as one would.

Comparing some third party provider against Apple isn’t entirely reasonable, unless they’re marketing a very similarly premium brand.

There are _many_ manufacturers that have premium products, including your "boring" manufacturers like HP, Dell, and Lenovo.

True, and all of their MSRPs are easily comparable to Apple’s similarly-specked hardware.
