Or better pricing, hence the Clovertrail chip instead of the Core i5. It should also affords better battery life, the Surface Pro threatens abysmal battery life which is why I went for Dell instead.
The Samsung Ative Smart PC is available now with an 11 inch screen but otherwise similar specs and price as the Dell. I think 11 inches is a bit on the large size which is why I opted for the Dell.
