Mind you, most tablets are overpriced, but not by as much as only apple has the economy of scales.
And this margin is greater with the larger capacity models - really, $100 for an extra 16GB?

Fine with me. But it's worth the price to me when it almost completely replaces my laptop. It s my primary computing device. Does everything I want to do. & works flawlessly. So what's the problem. Apple isn't the 1st to overcharge for a product. Why aren't they allowed to make money. Is the transformer prime not worthy of its price tag which I'm sure is a huge mark up. It's a beautiful device too & I'm sure works wonderfully. Why shouldn't asus make those profits. I'm sure they didn't put as much into R&D into it as apple. Especially considering they get a free OS. Same could be said for Samsung, they make beautiful devices too, I'm sure they make quite a bit of profit too, so are they not allowed to make money. Again, you knock apple just because you have some sort of vendetta against them. That's fine, but be a little more realistic.
