I agree -- compared to Surface, but... :-))
I think the Surface is overpriced and that sets the limits for the other W8 devices. While there's a lot in the IdeaPad, it's also a bit pricey. Just picked up a new ThinkPad with much better specs (no touchscreen) and on-site warranty and battery warranty for a couple hundred more.
Not thrilled with the HD+ display (1600 x 900). My previous laptop had a 1920 x 1200 display and the best I can do today in the Windows space (without paying a totally ridiculous premium) is a FHD (1920 x 1080).
My phone has a HD display (1280 x 720), tablet 1280 x 800.
