Both of my brothers use Surface laptops, even though they are both mac/ios lovers. Their reasoning comes in two complaints: 1) The surface lets them annotate on the screen, pretty much any document they want, using the stylus, and 2) even though they can now do similar things on the ipad, the spreadsheet/word processing docs on the ipad aren't powerful enough, yet, and have clunky controls. Anyone who has tried to use an ipad for spreadsheets can feel their pain. So when I saw this announcement I immediately thought macbook air with a touchscreen, and the ipad becomes even more of a gaming/entertainment/personal TV/lives on the couch/content consumption product and the macbook remains the desk/stand-up desk/train content production product.
