for a basic consumption ONLY device, no way I spend over $200 for a something with a 10.1" or larger display. 9.7" is flat too small for many of the reading needs I have, even in a 4:3 screen ratio. a 16:10 10.1" device is not as useful as the same display in a 4:3 format but it's better than 16:9 for what I would consume.
If makers want to charge laptop prices they need to deliver a content creator device with a full color gamut display system not the crippled color gamuts they all currently deliver. An active digitizer is a given for my purposes as well. This device I would consider buying at about $300-$350 max with front end hardware no real significant corner cutting.
