System Performance - The Surface 3 Review
That's pretty awesome performance for a $200 laptop. Rather mediocre performance for a $500 tablet though. Atom x7 is also about 63%-68% performance of Core i3.
I think I mentioned once that you can find $200 laptops these days with about the same performance of Surface 3. Of course it's not really fair to compare a laptop to a tablet - but if you want a Windows tablet, my guess is you want a light consumption device, so I would ask, what's wrong with $100-$200 Windows tablets like the HP Stream 7 or Dell Venue 8 Pro? They're the perfect tablet form factor, they offer powerful enough performance for light workloads, and they're a fraction of the cost of the Surface 3.
