That being said they may be smart in abandoning the consumer market because with all these low cost baytrail
tablets (and the
race to the bottom) it would be very few consumers who would understand / tolerate paying $ 800 for the
tablet (even though the
specs / digitiser warrant it which we in this niche community know).
With these announcements, the Windows 8
tablet race has quickly ratcheted - up, and other vendors are quickly releasing
specs on their competitive products, many already touting themselves as being better than the new MS
tablets.
