1) Flash support,

2) 32GB default flash memory, not having to pay 100 more for 16 extra GB of storage and being able to add a flash memory is a blessing

3) usb support with docking station, the surface has it built into the tablet, the asus has it built into the dock.

3) printing support

accidentally hit submit before finishing editing... Number 5(or 6 since 3 is there twice) is the ability to somewhat use multiple screens if the app is in desktop mode.
