Since when did touch screens become a requirement or even a semi-useful thing for laptops?

I don't think anyone said it did. All I said was this surface is very comparable to an air but also includes a touch screen and is cheaper.

Well, no. The macbook air has a keyboard, it has been available for a long time, and it's not running Windows 8; so it's a bit of a stretch to call them comparable just like that.

Sure, I don't want to get into a big argument here.

Even with the keyboard, it's still cheaper than what I paid for my macbook air and I get a touch screen.

To me that's better value, if you dont' agree, I'm fine with that:)
