How about bring back WebOS for starters.

these OEMs did not make any changes for last 10years and now with MS brought a big change and surface is key to push the new OS not just itself.
If HP makes good devices like this it can be in game again along side of MS.
Acer and HP are loosing game and trying to stop surface.

"slow and a little kludgey", ironic seeing how HP mass produces craptastic hardware with tonnes of bloatware while having ZERO reliability whatsoever.

WebOS is an open scource project. Its being made into a TV for the first version of open scource. Closed webOS has nothing to do with this. So don't criticize and OS that isn't even in the market.

I guess this is all about budget allocation. MS has spent too much on the construction of the tablet and they don't have much money left for internals and screen.

But precisely those things are what people need, just look at the way Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 are built, it's complete opposite approach.

That may be true, but if we think about the Surface as Microsoft's Nexus tablet, it makes more sense as a mid-range device. For what you pay you get a good tablet with very good build quality and an ecosystem that, while young, has a lot of money and momentum behind it. The screen is adequate, as most honest reviewers haven't noticed much difference between an ipad4's and the Surface, and sometimes prefer it for text reading, and especially for writing (mostly when used with the Touch/Type covers). Future updates will bring further improvements (there's already one out, I believe), and future generations of the device will undoubtedly improve upon the formula.
