Microsoft doesnt "insist" on Tablet/Laptop hybrids. They make them and market them and people buy them because they suit their needs but Microsoft hasnt stoped supporting powerful gaming laptops and the like. It's just that theres no reason to market them because anyone who actually wants a powerful gaming laptop will google what type to get, where as not everyone would be aware of the versatility and existence of a surface pro 2 which is perfect for average business and personal needs which is the demographic for this product.
