Depends which aspects you wan't to compare, I have this and it's alright for what it is, which is a more flexible laptop with a touch screen which I never use and it is no where near comparable to a Surface as that has an active digitiser which is way more accurate. The image in the first post is very misleading as the pen included is nothing better than something bundled for free if you buy a smartphone case from eBay. The better comparison for would be a Lenovo Yoga laptop.

Probably is, it's difficult to link to an exact item on the Outlet.
Go to Dell Outlet - Outlet for Home - Inspiron 13 - 7359 2-in-1 Laptop

Well, it's not cheaper. £132.22 to upgrade from an i5 to i7 (minimal performance upgrade) and get a 256gb SSD, which is not worth £132.22.

Sorry should have been a bit more clear, if what you care about is the drawing/note taking aspect of the Surface then the only other alternative would be an iPad Pro as both devices have specific hardware that vastly improve that experience.
However if what you want is a convertible tablet then there's a bunch of them out there running Windows or Android starting as low as £100-150 and quite frankly I find the whole category rather dumb at it's so ackward and it's the worst of both worlds, a bad tablet and a bad laptop experience. Also you can just have that experience by buying any tablet and a Bluetooth keyboard.
If you don't care about the drawing aspect then just this, the Yoga or Dell XPS 13/Mac Air if you can afford it and just buy a small tablet like the iPad Mini for anything else.
