That's nonsense. You think MS was charging $200 for the OS? LOL

I'm not talking about Surface, genius. I'm talking about Acer, Asus, etc. They sold new Win7 netbooks for $250, Android tablets for $200 or less, but Clovertrail tablets had a huge price premium for no reason.

^^ that.

TBH, some of the price points may be justified. I mean the few products that happen to have a Wacom digitizer or not a terrible screen resolution. Though I still wouldn't buy them with the crap GPU they have.

On the other hand, Windows RT products go beyond crazy. Even more overpriced than Atom-based ones, despite the crappier CPU, and none of them has either a decent resolution or active digitizer. It almost feels like their only reason for existing is to fool us that the Atom based versions are not as overpriced as they actually are.
