It is a laptop. And BasilZero got my point (Looks like you did not).
Call it a tablet if you want but you cannot compare it to another "tablet" like the iPad; you need to compare it to laptop or even netbook...

Also before claiming such things, just link where you can buy a tablet for 250 euros who can run Diablo 3, Photoshop and Visual Studio just fine (need an i5 not an Atom... by running I mean USABLE)... Other than eBay...
Stop the hating seriously...

Well, looking at the edits, it seems that BasilZero actually didn't get your point about it being a laptop, just like everyone else, including Microsoft themselves.

I'm not sure what you're even trying to say with the last part. I was just pointing out that the fact that my tablet PC is running the full version of Windows 8 still doesn't make it a laptop; it's still a tablet PC. I don't know why an i5 processor or an Atom processor should matter when it comes to deciding if it's a tablet or a laptop.

My response to BazilZero was very clear and I explained like 5 times WHY I said that. He edited his reply but stayed civilized and he really understood what I was meaning anyway. You, on the other hand are falsely claiming that you bought a comparable machine running Diablo 3 without any problem for 250 euros and that the Surface Pro is overpriced at 799$... Again, if it is overpriced link me a machine at 250$ who sports an i5? Therefore who is able to do the SAME things than the Surface Pro?

Stop ignoring the facts just : Surface Pro > iPad : call them both tablets if you want but the facts are they are totaly different beasts. Even if there both have the tag "tablet" on them... The Ouya and the PS4 are both "consoles"... I do not think you can really compare them and say that the PS4 is way overpriced when you can get a "console" for only 150$...

Now if you are still comparing the Surface Pro with an iPad, yes the CPU does not matter and the price is irrelevant (but then the iPad is also overpriced as you can get some tablets under 99$). Now if you compare it to an ultrabook (which is what the Surface Pro is in term of technical specs) it is another story.
