399 USD is 340 Euros, so that's only a 10 Euro price difference

I'd easily pay 10 Euros extra over an iPad for a fully functional computer - Seems like an easy choice

399 USD + VAT (EU prices are tax included) is ~399€ (after adding also the premium for "consumer protection laws").

iPad is the best computer ever made. Microsoft will never make anything remotely as good.
