You have to tell me, how to achieve that.
I'd gladly do so as well, but I don't see how.
I've pre-ordered the Surface Pro 3 i7 256GB model for € 1.500.
If I buy a laptop in that class and build quality, for example MacBook Air, I pay the very same.
Whatever tablet I add, I'll end up more expensive.
Of course I can buy a cheap netbook and a Nexus 7 for way less. But then I've got a smaller tablet, an inferior processor and so on.
I don't see any combination in the market, that can offer the same for less - else I would have bought it already...

BTW: I've bought the Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet for a meager € 350. A bargain. But of course it's a lower res display, only 64GB SSD, far from i7 processing power and so on...
