Here's the i5 version added in for the closest comparison
One thing to note is that the Surface Pro 3 price shown does NOT include the keyboard, which is over $100 more I believe. The biggest cause of the price disparity is in the panel. Microsoft went full top notch with the multi-touch IPS panel with the high pixel density. By contrast, the 1366x768 TN panels in the MacBook Airs are extremely cheap to make and essentially the minimum standard. I still don't consider the Surface Pro to be reasonably priced for student use. It's the ideal setup for the business traveler.
