It is funny Apple sheeps pays $500 for a 16Gb iPad, and some MS pundits paying $500 for Surface RT running Tegra3, and they think it is good value. Now come along something faster, lighter, with bigger software library, good battery life, and they think this is too expensive. Meanwhile, they give away their hard earned money to Apple and MS. And they think the actual competition such as iPad and RT is "good enough". There is no hope for such people.
Yes, a lot of people want a Core i5 on these things at $500, except the i5 costs $200 alone. Talk about greed.
