Acer w700 better deal than Surface Pro

For the casual user, Acer's w700 seems to be a better deal:

$750 includes bluetooth keyboard leather case (not the crazy 3 parts attachment, they changed the package)

Core i3

up to 8-hrs battery life

same screen, ram, 64gb SSD

Surface pro:

$1000 and change for 64gb + keyboard

Core i5...but i don't think it matters much for the casual user

Pen

Better build quality, better re-sale value

Slightly lighter and smaller

kick-stand

Seems like a good idea to go for the acer
