Please Stop Releasing Lovely New Surfaces, Microsoft

Important: please bear this article in mind while reading the following.

I've long been keen on Microsoft's Surface Pro range of tablet/laptop hybrids, which are incongruously well-designed given they abstractly come from the same company that makes the aesthetically horrible Xboxes. The trouble is that they're chasing that sweet Apple dollar and keep updating them. Then I desperately want the new one but cannot possibly afford it unless I embrace a life of debt in order to lay hands on higher resolution screens, better battery life and marginally improved integrated graphics. And this time, the heartless bastards have only gone and announced two new types of Surface.
