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. |
Well yeah, like people who want to run existing apps natively will go for an x86 tablet. I don't think Microsoft has made it clear whether the ARM-based tablets will run them at all, and if they do it will have to be in an emulator.
