A different point of view on the Surface

If what you say about your old PC running faster under w8, that's a first for microsoft. In every case in the past the only reason the new os were faster is because the hardware was even faster

So what can you do with it (Surface) that you can't do with an iPhone that would't be better on a 13" notebook? Not trying to be difficult here, but interested in the opportunities for the new device.
