Tablets on Windows 8 from ASUS - prices and features
The day before yesterday, Steve Ballmer lifted the veil over the secret of how much a Microsoft tablet, known as Surface, cost, hacking at the root of a popular rumor that appeared in August of this year with the filing of the Engadget tehnoblog, which will supposedly be sold at the Nexus price or the Kindle Fire at $ 199.
Almost as ordered, well, or by pure chance, the ZDNet resource reviewers had ASUS's roadmap regarding the release of new tablets on Windows 8 RT and the clean Windows 8. You can immediately say that Ballmer’s statement is minimal. the price of the Surface will be $ 300 sounds pretty soft compared to the planned price policy of ASUS, and if Microsoft really plans to do something like dumping, then Surface has quite a lot of chances to become a popular product.

So, it is clear that the most “budgetary” model from ASUS will be a Vivo Tab tablet with Windows RT operating system for $ 599, and if you want to buy a keyboard for it, you will have to pay another $ 199 for it - in other words, the cost of the full set will be 798 $.
Next in the price category is the device already with Windows 8 on board the Vivo Tab, the price of which is $ 799, and the cost of the keyboard with it is again comparable to the cost of Google Nexus 7.
And finally, the top-end Taichi (Notebook + Tablet) starts at a price of almost $ 1,300, which can hardly be called easily accessible.
Thus, we can conclude that the devices on Windows 8 will obviously not be as cheap as expected, and the release of a Microsoft tablet priced at $ 300 can really contribute to the fact that Surface has a noticeable success against the prices of other manufacturers.
