It says ARM in the beginning of the article. I expect Intel ones to be even more expensive, and I don't think there's a market for a $800 Atom tablet that runs like a netbook (the Core i5 Samsung one they showed earlier was around $1200, and it didn't even have retina display).
The iPad has what now - 150,000 touch-optimized apps? Windows 8 x86 has - 100? What are you doing to do with all the unoptimized and sluggish apps on a x86 tablet that will have half the battery life of iPad or Android tablets at best, and costs twice as much?
- gouranga 14y agoCorrection - iPad has 149,900 shit apps and 100 good ones as does every platform. Also if its a problem for you personally, just buy a laptop :)
- taligent 14y agoThe famous and misguided "iPad only has a few good apps" argument. You know what you and others don't seem to understand. Your definition of good apps differs from my definition of good apps. Everyone likes and uses different apps for different reasons.
- nextparadigms 14y agoYou made your own correction irrelevant when you stated that this happens on every platform, which is true. But that's how great apps appear on a platform, and how great niche apps come to be born on the platform, too. You can't say "there's an app for that" on a platform with 100 or even 1000 apps totally, even if you have the "top apps" in there.
