The comparison is a little silly, if you wanted a laptop then the chromebook is under specced and overpriced even at $249 compared to other laptop options and it does not have tablet cabilitiies. There are better laptops/netbooks in that price range which all can do EVERYTHING a chromebook does but without the limitations. If you were looking at a Surface then one of your alternatives is NOT a chromebook, it would be some of the Asus/HP/Dell Hybrids or some of the android devices coming out, perhaps an ipad or nexus if you don't care about the keyboard.
