Actually they probably still outperform it. Keep in mind that's a much older cpu/gpu in that laptop. Comparing a 4 year old laptop model like that one against a current tablet you would expect to see similar results since tablets are generally about 3-4 years behind laptops in horsepower. But since we're comparing a high end current tablet against a low end 4 year old laptop the tablet is actually faster. Particularly the GPU. The cpu is barely faster though. It's amazing how those three factors (cost, type/size, and when it was made) have such a strong universal relationship to performance that if you just know those three things you can usually predict with remarkable accuracy how fast a computer is going to be without even knowing what hardware is in it. Although it certainty is a hell of a lot more reliable to compare actual hardware specs. Touch screens really are overrated in my opinion. Airplanes or buses/subways are the only places I would find them useful at all. You can always get a conventional laptop with both a keyboard and touchscreen and have the best of both worlds.
