Doing the job is actually exactly the issue one cannot predict beforehand. Its not like a decission between two *existing* devices we are talking.... IMHO its still not clear which options this "halfed" price will have installed, nor if this price already includes or excludes VAT. nor if this touchable display will be scribbable, nor when it will be really available. 230€ price difference is a lot, but I personally gladly pay at least up to 100€ to keep stanard windows crashes and anger away from my device. (Yes If I take that price excl. VAT; the price difference is 35% (one third) not 50% (one half) Also I personally highly doubt that "touchable screen" means "scribbable" thus annotateable which you AFAIK just assumed...
If you believe all anouncements unfiltered go there:
