$800 for a tablet? Damn.
Arent ipads like half price of that?

It is a laptop, not a tablet... I do not think the iPad is sporting an Intel i5 CPU and can run Photoshop, Visual Studio or Diablo 3. 800$ is a damn good price for this device and I strongly recommand it. I'm using it on a daily basis and I love it.
If you want to compare it to the iPad, use the Surface RT which is effectively half of the price (but still a very good tablet).

Strange, Microsoft itself is calling it a "tablet", and so do pages like Wikipedia.
I have a tablet running Windows 8 too. It cost just about 250 Euros, runs Photoshop, Visual Studio and Diablo 3.. But that still doesn't change the fact that it's a tablet.

Calm down lol This is not an bash Microsoft threads, no need to reply this non-sense just because a comment is favoring Microsoft :)
It is a laptop. And BasilZero got my point (Looks like you did not).
Call it a tablet if you want but you cannot compare it to another "tablet" like the iPad; you need to compare it to laptop or even netbook...
Also before claiming such things, just link where you can buy a tablet for 250 euros who can run Diablo 3, Photoshop and Visual Studio just fine (need an i5 not an Atom... by running I mean USABLE)... Other than eBay...
Stop the hating seriously...
