Admit it-as far as tablets go, Windows 8 is sorely lacking. The Dell Venue Pro 8 is probably the best small tablet available to us, yet it can't compare to the value you get with the Nexus 7.
I think there's a simple solution to this. Microsoft continues to release their marvelous Surface Pro hybrids, and on the side Nokia(or that branch) releases a series of colorful, clearly Lumia marked tablets with Windows 10. The Lumia 2000 series.
7-in, 8-in and 10-in varieties with great screens, unique and colorful polycarbonate designs with features to set them apart from the run-of-the-mill Windows tablets(most of which are bollox) and a sub-$400 price tag. That way we have a good selection of Windows tablets directly from Microsoft.
If Microsoft released a Lumia 2130(or whatever) 7-inch tablet for $200-$400(obviously depending on overall quality and value) I would wholeheartedly buy it and be proud to own a Windows device on every front. Phone; tablet; PC. If Microsoft is realistically trying to connect every Windows device into one UI, shouldn't there be an affordable series of good, high-quality tablets widely available? Most of us can't casually shill out $900 for a Surface Pro 3(keyboard not included) let alone more advanced models and the Surface Pro 2's-although nice-still don't warrant the high price tag they ask for.
The Lumia 2520 was a good, solid tablet-with mistakes. It was released with only 4G, which severely limited the market. Also, a high price tag and performance that couldn't quite meet the Surface served to degrade the appeal of the 2520-overall a beautiful, great tablet. I want that same design and even better screens and performance in more affordable packages.
Market them side by side-Tablets from Microsoft, the Lumia series for the everyday use, the Surface series for heavy duty work. Lumia-tablets. Surface-hybrids.
