It really isn't important and it has never been that important until Apple said so. All these 1000 dollar ultrabooks and laptops run 1366x768 on 13 inch screens and no one really complains about them. Only when it comes to tablets suddenly it matters.

You need to have a good pannel, good viewing angles first and foremost. At 10.6 inches and 1366x768 the ppi of the surface is higher than a 15.6 laptop running 1080p. This is a very high end device. by laptop standards, and Surface is a trying to be a laptop as much it is a tablet.

it's more of a tie as that laptop screen is 141ppi and the Surface screen 148ppi

the smaller your display is the more important is resolution to fit similar amounts of content onto the screen while still having it clearly readable/discernable
