Apple's play is really MacBook Air, in this segment, which competes quite nicely against the Windows Surface. Sure, the MacBook doesn't have a touch screen, but if you want a touch screen then buy a tablet. Given that Microsoft makes almost no money, on hardware, I sort of see this as a 'who cares?'
