I agree there are some CSS issues with IE but this is mainly because pages tend to be designed for Webkit browser. You will run in to occasional dropdowns not working properly etc on IE browsers... So Microsoft has to improve there for sure. Maybe provide a "webkit" remder emulator mode.

However the overall user experience and fluidity of the IE on the Surface is still noticable. And this is on the lowly Tegra 3. iPad browser runs on a chip which is supposdly twice as fast. 

With that said, Nexus 10 is probably hurt with the massive amount of pixels it needs to render which also hurts the images quality due to upscalling. I am positive nexus 7 and other tablets run a bit smoother. 


Well, in an ideal world, CSS and HTML would be followed correctly as a standard and every browser would render perfectly any site. But it won't happen anytime soon, it's just look at the entire HTML5 situation, it's currently a "beta" version and browsers are adopting it just to get rid of Flash even with the constantly changing specs of the standard.

IE is already pretty smooth when scrooling on WP and that is the weak spot of Chrome in mobile. Still is a great browser, better than the old one in Android (functionality, tabs, render compatibility).

About the pixel quantity, a quick calculation here shows that the Nexus 10 is pushing almost 4 times more pixels.
