I wasn't comparing the Vivo Tab and the Taichi to the iPad, I compared them to the RT, and I compared the RT to the iPad.

All high-end tablets come at this price.

The point with the Vivo Tab is that you can, and you can do more because of the touchscreen. People who buy a tablet do so because they don't need a keyboard and/or they want to use the touchscreen (handwritten notes, drawing, etc.). Also the docking comes with extended battery which some people might find useful as well as giving protection during transport.

Because it packs more power then the iPad model with the same price. And because there are still programs that will only run on windows. Maybe they aren't running on windows 8 yet, but they will.
