It's a big deal because it's marketed as a laptop replacement. For this price it should really have the keyboard included AT LEAST with i7 models.

I think the car analogy is a very good one. When you buy a Ford Focus or Chevy Cruze you are buying inexpensive transportation. When you buy a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air (and that's what Satya Nadella was comparing the Surface Pro 3 with) at $900+ dollars you don't expect to be missing a key component - the Keyboard - it turns people off. The lowest practical price for the Surface Pro 3 is $929 and comparable MacBook Air is $899 - for a 1368x768 screen @ 11.6", core i5, 128 GB SSD, 4 GB RAM @ 2.38 lbs. I didn't start this comparison, the CEO of MS did.
This whole thread is strange to me....
I could say same about a car..steering wheel, accelerator pedal..brake pedal...jeez these consumers want soo much for free!! :shocked:
