Microsoft cuts the price of the Surface Pro models.

$800 for a tablet? Damn.

Arent ipads like half price of that?

It is a laptop, not a tablet... I do not think the iPad is sporting an Intel i5 CPU and can run Photoshop, Visual Studio or Diablo 3.
800$ is a damn good price for this device and I strongly recommand it. I'm using it on a daily basis and I love it.

If you want to compare it to the iPad, use the Surface RT which is effectively half of the price (but still a very good tablet).

Strange, Microsoft itself is calling it a "tablet", and so do pages like Wikipedia.

I have a tablet running Windows 8 too. It cost just about 250 Euros, runs Photoshop, Visual Studio and Diablo 3.. But that still doesn't change the fact that it's a tablet.
