You forgot the "Book" part. I guess its for branding.

  You can add whatever you want to the end of its name; it's still confusing. This is probably one reason why the blog's author isn't aware of it.

    Really? Any more confusing than all the Mac's being called Mac? People get the difference between the Mac, Macbook, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro. Why is Surface, Surface Pro, Surfacebook any different?

      It's really just Mac (the desktop line) and Macbook (the laptop line). It's simple. The problem is that Surface can mean anything. It can mean a tablet, a laptop, or a ginormous screen or table e.g. Surface (a tablet, a table, or a laptop?), Surface Pro (a more powerful version of the tablet, table or laptop?), Surfacebook (another version of the tablet?) Am I wrong? Think about it. Why would a blog post complaining about the absense of a great PC laptop get so many upvotes on HN when MS has the answer in the form of a 'Surface'? imo something is just really wrong with MS's marketing.
