I had decided I wanted a win 8 tablet but it depended on the hardware. Well I think this just convinced me on this one. Likely the RT seeing as its smaller and lighter though it depends on the performance/battery life/pricing of the pro versions but if it is going to be the estimated 800+ then RT for sure.
I need that tablet in my life.
I think I've just about had it with The Verge's community. There was a guy arguing with me about the existence of cameras on the Microsoft Surface tablets. Their freaking existence, right in the face of a live blog and press shots.
To steal a page from Slick Willie, "it's the economy, stupid". All kidding aside, times are tough and people are starting to believe in fairies. There will be those who rush out to buy these without thinking and then a few months down the road comes buyer's remorse. Those tablets will end up on eBay cheap-er and everybody will expect that kind of pricing.Why do people expect this to be priced so cheaply? It has an all metal construction, an excellent design, 32 GB of memory, a premium processor and a 10+" HD screen. Show me any company where you can get those specs for $300. $500 is perfectly fair given the hardware. The pro is spec'd like an $800-$1,000 laptop and I keep seeing people say it needs to be $500. What about this are people not understanding?
