Asus’s Leaked Roadmap Hints at Highly Priced Windows RT Tablets

3 Replies

After the Windows 8 public release,we will be seeing an array of Windows 8 and Windows RT based tablets from various hardware partners like Dell,Asus,HP,Acer,Samsung and Microsoft’s own Surface Tablet.Though none of the manufacturers have announced the pricing for the upcoming Windows RT based tablet as of yet.

But recently a leaked roadmap of Asus which is one of the hardware partners for Windows 8/RT products,has hinted at what could be the price range of Windows RT based tablets coming from Asus later this year,with the lowest model costing around $600 to the costliest one at  a price of  $1299.

Though there is no official word on this and it might very well turn out to be a preliminary Roadmap,but if Asus really sticks to this price range for their products,then it would be curtains for the range of Windows RT offerings from Asus and the others who will follow this price range and then only thing which cold save it is the cheap Surface  Tablet from the Software Giant.

    It’s a Microsoft Word screenshot with the default ‘Calibri’ font. I’m going to call fake or unfinished on this one. This is by no means a presentation-ready product, and notice that the price labels differ between “Starting Price” And “MSRP”? Seems like a layout preview or something.

    It looks like a fake one especially after MS and Lenovo have mentioned the price range of their products. Who will buy the ASUS product if it is more expensive than the MS one?
