Surface Pro versus MacBook Air: Who's being dishonest with storage space?

I'm in a similar position. The ThinkPad Helix might be a winner, in a month or two:

I loved the X201 tablet (apart from heating issues), but the crap resolution and 16:9 on that line makes it not worth having.

I have a feeling that this year, we're going to see a lot of decent small-sized, full res devices, thanks to Apple's Retina push. Haswell is supposed to be out mid-year so that might also help create some better devices.

That laptop looked interesting to me, so I started looking into the specs PDF, where I find this gem:

PRELOADED APPLICATIONS: Lenovo Companion, Lenovo QuickSnip, Lenovo Support, Lenovo Quick Launch, Lenovo Cloud Storage, Lenovo Settings, Microsoft® Office 2010 Trial, Intel® AppUp Skype™, AccuWeather, Amazon Kindle, Evernote Skitch,Evernote Security, Rara – Music

As people are complaining over how little free space the surface pro has, I wonder what the reaction to all of these on a 128gb machine would be...

Wow, I might wait for this one instead.
