Well if you're going to compare to Apple, everything looks reasonable

But an iPad has no direct alternative. There are lots of android tablets. I just got a galaxy tab S 10.5" with OLED screen (the only reason I bought it) with 3 gig ram for $30 more. Compared to that it's not so hot.

But yeah it is priced fairly. People are disappointed that nexus is not the deal it used to be.

Why in the world are we still stuck with 16 gig as base flash storage? The iPad came out years ago with 16gb. Still the same. Ditto must android tablets. I think the nvidia shield comes with 32 standard but it's aimed at gamers and is an exception.
