too much. $1000 to manufacture means something like $1400+ to sell after advertising etc… I think I’ll stick with Win RT on Arm. Sorry Intel. If you’re late to the game, charging us an arm (no pun intended) and a leg to switch to you is a dumb ass idea.

maybe AMD Trinity version or Next-gen Intel Atom version (u know the hyperthread able atom with sandybridge gpu; hd1500 & hd2500 or wuteva) wont cost too ridiculously. does 13.3 inch touch panel cost that much???

Yup, one of these will be my next laptop. I’m so glad I avoided buying an iPad or Android tablet (Although I have gotten both as presents). Finally a tablet that can do something, and a laptop I can play angry birds on, haha.

The manufacturer will still make money, because Intel pays them from the Ultrabook Fund.
