I'm assuming you're not referring to the iPad, right? I can easily build decent desktops for less than $500. However, Windows 8 is supposed to support ARM so we should also be seeing cool running, inexpensive, lightweight Windows 8 tablets with long battery life.

The way I see it, there's demand for both. Majority will flock to the cheaper models but I, for one, would appreciate a tablet running a full version of Windows despite the hefty price tag. With a keyboard dock, it can also double as a replacement laptop. Weight, heat and battery life are definitely factors I'll be considering, though, and that's where x86-based tablets might not meet the grade.
