A pro with out a keyboard.... ...and $500? Do you know what this is? It isnt an ipad... it is MUCH more than that. |
To people who want a tablet... its less than an iPad. It doesn't matter if it runs full windows. Tablet buyers don't need/want "full" windows. They want multimedia and a good browser.
MS needs to follow Google's lead and focus on the low-end first. The new commercial MS has out comparing an iPad to the SurfaceRT is perfect. THat should be their only focus right now.
If they want to say they are still better, then they need to copy that similar commercial style with all the stuff it can do to justify the higher price. But "higher" should be no more than $100. Putting it out as high as it is, makes it a niche market device for core windows fans.
Just as silly as the Chromebook Pixel being $1200.
Hell, if they priced it right, I'd even get one over an Android tablet solely because it would be a laptop replacement for my wife who's work has a couple apps that can only run in windows as well as requires IE for other items. MS needs to lose money on this to create marketshare.
