Very, very, very low-end laptops (with a high-end price tag) considering 
their notable lack of I/O and storage, and their sub-par keyboards (by 
laptop standards anyway. Keyboards: desktop > laptop > surface > tablet 
 > phone). Only the CPU/RAM really matched real laptops, none of the 
other specs. And that's why all the attention they got didn't really 
translate into sales.

Though surface certainly *has* been improving on all those fronts. 
They're certainly poised to *become* full-blown laptops with detachable 
keyboards, but they haven't always been.
