[citation][nom]southernshark[/nom]Yeah its going to be an uphill fight given the iPad 2 at $399. But we will see. I'd rather have this than an Ipad 2. I do wish Nvidia would get its act together though and produce a follow up to the Tegra 3, which is getting a little stale.[/citation]The Surface RT definitely beats the iPad 2 at that price. But I would still like to see the Surface RT start life in the $300-350 range.

[citation][nom]Achoo22[/nom]There will be x86 versions with atom and other, cheaper, chips available. As is the case on the desktop, there will unlikely be any price-point where AMD is a superior choice.[/citation]Z-60 should be pretty price competitive with the Atoms. Just as their Trinity APUs are very competitive in laptops.[citation][nom]misterawsome[/nom]can't a get a good laptop for $400 to $500 bucks[/citation]$500 will actually get you a decent laptop, especially if you're looking at it from a consumer point of view. You can get an A10-4600M-powered 15" laptop for that price. That will even do some light gaming.

[citation][nom]syrious1[/nom]The Pro not a tablet. It's got laptop hardware i5/4GB/ram/SSD, please stop calling it a tablet and comparing it to an ipad or other android tablets.[/citation]

When did I ever compare other tablets to this Microsoft offspring? ... exactly. Since when did specs of a CPU/RAM define whether it is a tablet or not? Microsoft calls it a tablet, I my self see no keyboard attached to it so I agree with them...it is still a tablet.

Point being, no matter how you twist it I can buy a notebook for much less WITH a keyboard and same specs along with much more functionality. + some other crappier tablet for "on the go". Hypothetically speaking since I would never spend money on abortions like tablets.
