[...] I like the appearance of the slider plus am certain which Win8 plus touch might bring blessings to consumers – I’m absolutely a Win 8 touch convert having selected it for a month today – however I’m not certain regarding ‘tablets’ which weigh 1.4K5G, double the fat of any customer pill available. The winner inside this room can become the 1 which reaches 1KG total fat initially – a real challenge. Alternatively there are the removable pill designs or Atom-based alternatives. [...]

If that would be true (and note that leaked slide shows Metro?) then how can they compete with Samsung series 5 slate:

Base model: $649 + $100 for keyboard/dock

Similar price but it has 1920×1080 display, Core i5 CPU, 4GB memory.

It’s still rumor, it may be a early estimate of What Asus wanted to charge but it’s more likely they’re waiting like most everyone else on MS to release their pricing for the Surface before they commit to a final price for their products.

The Vivo RT tablet especially shouldn’t cost that much, since it’s mainly just the Windows RT version of the Asus Transformer and should actually cost less for them to make than the Infinity…

Unless of course they’re going to include the keyboard docks but Asus usually sells them separately.

1366×768 doesn’t support side-by-side app windows, does it?… That would be a big “X” in the “CON” side of the equation…
