I can see the Surface 3 as being a better laptop, but I'm looking for a better tablet that's still a somewhat usable laptop. My ideal "Surface" product would have been something the form-factor of a Surface RT but 4:3 and running BayTrail (thin/light/fan-less/long-battery)... still wouldn't have fixed the tray-table issue, but would be infinitely more usable as a tablet while still being able to get some work done when necessary too. Call it the "Surface Home" or "Surface Lite" maybe? I guess the margin just isn't there to support the price point necessary to maintain the Surface build-quality but also compete with a growing crop of $300 hybrids.
