and for the shits and giggles of it (because I'm bored) I went on newegg and searched for laptops with 4GB of ram or less that have features that the S7 has (touchscreen, 802.11ac, fingerprint reader) and the 9 results range from $864.99 - $1540.99
so while this is an apples to potatoes comparison, a laptop with similar features would indeed cost more than either of these "phones"
