Your 4 year old laptop is probably more capable than your Surface 2. I wouldn't keep my Surface 2 unless the company would pay me $100 to save them the trouble of dealing with reclaiming it. Even then I'd have to think about it.

I'd only keep the Surface if they gave it to me, and then only to give it to my 8 year old kid. It's an unsupported platform that is incompatible with almost everything.

If we waste this fleeting opportunity, we'll have nobody to blame but ourselves.

These are your characterizations. Mine would be cost neutral and restorative.

I'm also positive we are both wrong.
