Are you sure you've looked at the Surface Pro and not at the Surface? The Pro has an absolutely gorgeous FullHD IPS screen

Hahaha. Positive. It's barely over 200 PPI and it shows -- it's even less than my Nexus 7. I found it quite unimpressive.

I could live with it, though, if it succeeded in other areas, but I am afraid it didn't. It was a frustrating compromise all around, and I was sad to see such a beautiful body (that was well designed) with such an awful screen aspect ratio and poor resolution.

The RT, by the way, was quite sad. Even Asus couldn't get that OS to sing. It was so unpleasant that even the poor sales staff seemed frustrated by its behavior.
 
You should hold off until the Surface Pro is updated with Haswell because of the expected improvement in battery life if you are considering the Pro to avoid buyers remorse in a few months time.

The new MBA is nice but they really should have gone with a better quality panel and 1080p on the 13inch. The current resolution on the 11inch is fine for the size of the panel however.
