Oh is there a Microsoft tablet available for 300 USD? I thought so. And there's nothing convergent about the Surface. Without a keyboard what can you really do with it?

If they wanted to say "The first convergent tablet for 300 USD," then maybe they should have said that.

Netflix? Internet? Read emails? Write with its pretty fantastic handwriting recognition?

What can the Aquaris M10 do without a keyboard that the Surface Pro can't? Is it somehow "more convergent"?

The surface isn't the only Windows tablet... You definitely could find a Venue Pro under $300 in the past couple years.
