And specs don't capture the OS UX differences (do you love metro on a non-touch device?), bloatware/spyware/adware pre-installed, activation headaches, app ecosystem...

It's like comparing the value of two watches using the slag value of melting them down. If that's how you shop, the device isn't for you.

(do you love metro on a non-touch device?)

Metro is largely insignificant on non-touch devices. Most days I only see it in the brief period during "Windows Key -> 'chr' -> Enter".

I never understood the Metro hate mainly because I find it such an unimportant part of the OS in non-touch day-to-day use.
