Microsoft will push $300 Win8 tablet

  

Computer shop news Since Apple released the iPad, Apple can be a good time in the tablet market. Although Android is not to be outdone, it has also launched dual-core high-scoring tablets, but due to various problems such as experience, software, and systems, it still fails to pose a substantial challenge to the iPad. Microsoft, which is in the dominance of the PC system, will naturally not stand by. With its constantly optimized Windows Phone platform and low-cost strategy, Microsoft intends to become a new challenger to the iPad. In addition to the extended battery life, another reason why Microsoft created the Windows RT system for ARM-based tablets is that the chip is far cheaper than Intel.


Now, according to internal news, the RT8 version of the Windows 8 low-end tablet with ARM processor will not sell for more than $300, depending on the configuration, with Intel processing. The price of the Windows 8 tablet will fluctuate between $300 and $1,000. Microsoft has listed HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Asus and Toshiba as manufacturers. Among them, Lenovo and Acer are focusing on creating a $300 Windows tablet for Asia with a broad market. If $300 plus pre-installed Office software sounds quite attractive, there is news that Microsoft and Intel have set an internal goal of cutting the iPad's market share to less than half next year. In the face of fierce competition from Windows (Phone) 8 devices and Google, Motorola & ldquo; soft and hard, in 2013 for Apple's mobile products, the challenge is indeed unprecedented.
