When Microsoft announced that it would be getting into the tablet market making its own hardware, the news made some of its partners really upset. Microsoft along with its Surface tablets are ready to ship to market at the same time when Windows 8 launches. Many of Microsoft’s partners are also going to be producing their own tablets running Windows RT and Windows 8.
Lenovo is one of such selected companies that will be busy producing tablets using the new Windows operating system. The company has announced that its devices running Windows RT will be around $200-$300 less than the products using Windows 8 OS. From a consumer point of view that’s a good news who are concerned that Windows RT tablets would come in at retail prices significantly above competing tablets on the market.
Windows RT tablets will run ARM technology and if Lenovo sticks to its pricing plan of $200-$300 less than competing products with standard Windows 8, they should be close in price to some of the other ARM tablets. Windows 8 tablets are expected to come in a price range similar to Intel ultrabooks at somewhere around $700.
The fight will be within the price range that will somewhat give competition to the iPad on a price basis. However, matching the price of the iPad alone certainly will not guarantee success for Windows RT devices. The tablets will need to be superior in other ways. The market has shown simply matching the iPad on price and performance isn’t enough.
Windoww 8 tablet will cost between $600 to $700 and Windows RT tablets will cost $200 to $300 less than Windows 8 tablet. Based on the previous statement, windows RT tablets will cost $300 to $500. You have to back to primary school.
