Well, in fairness, a Surface Pro is more like an ultrabook "plus". It's got relatively high specs for a consumer laptop and runs a full laptop OS in a fairly compact form factor. Add on the touch screen and digitizer/pen and you've added most of the features of a tablet to your notebook (the exceptions being that it's a bit larger/heavier than an iPad or a Nexus tablet and the battery life is more in line with a laptop than a mobile-grade tablet). Still, the tradeoff is worth it for many people depending on what's more important to them--battery/weight or power/flexibility.
