Screw you Microsoft

Sure, it could be subjective, but the processor in the Surface Pro 1 is more powerful than the both of my desktops at home. If you compare the fastest non-Windows tablet available, it will be a fraction of the power the Surface Pro has and will be running an mobile OS that is far less capable than full Windows. So yes, you get a fan, but you also get a full powered computer as a trade-off. No other non-windows tablet can do that. So, the fact that the "competition" doesn't have fans is irrelevant because there is no competition right now.

The Surface Pro and Pro 2 comes with 2 fans as shown in the picture. Because of the ultra low voltage and ~15W TDP limitation, even high end ultrabook CPUs such as the i7-4650U does not perform on par with the base i3 desktop model such as the 3210 CPU processing wise.
