500-800 will be the preferable one. It's a reachable price for a lot of people and a tablet of that price will have features to suit a user.

But RT's future is questionable altogether, because honestly, Intel's upcoming crop of CPUs are promising 9.5 hours of battery life, with an i7
See, it's not so hard to agree with me!Wow, I never thought this would happen but I actually agree with a lot of what you posted there Cokie. The price for RT devices does seem to be too high compared to the alternatives, and at present there doesn't seem to be all that much incentive to buying one. I'd also like to see some AMD APU based tablets. Microsoft did it with the XboxOne, so maybe they will do an AMD Surface. I might actually buy one of those if they did. It should be cheaper that the current Intel powered version. Nothing against the current Intel powered version, it has nice specs, but a high price tag to go with it. Too pricey for me. IMHO its too good for what it is. I personally don't need all that computing power in that type of device. Not for what I'd use a tablet for anyway.
Under 300 dollars for a tablet basically means crapdroid internet device. It's not computing, it's consumption. But hey, if OEMs think that can bring in sales using Windows 8 or RT, the hell with it. Although I'd imagine Windows RT will be on such a device since by default it's geared to be mostly internet consumption than anything else.Hmmm...
