Edit: That assumes zero hardware cost on Intel's part, so they're more likely losing $250/unit.

are you kidding? Retail mark-up is nowhere near 100%. Especially for highly competitive electronics like this. Most stores sell computers very close to, or even for a loss. they hope to regain money selling you the accidental damage insurance. I worked at office depot, and we would often lose 20-30$ on laptops that were selling for $600.

Laptops and tablets, especially when newer, are sold at MOST a 25% margin.
