ASUS Windows 8 tablet pricing kind of leaked
Pricing of ASUS' upcoming Windows 8 tablets have surfaced on the web.The Windows RT based Vivo Tab RT is rather expensive, pricing starts at $599 for this Tegra 3 based slate with a 10.1" IPS screen. If you want the optional, Transformer-style keyboard dock you'll have to shelve out $798, considerably more than what you pay for a decent budget notebook.
A step higher in the hierarchy is the Vivo Tab, this x86 Windows 8 tablet uses the Intel Atom Z2760 processor and comes with a larger 11.6" IPS screen. Pricing starts at $799 and jumps another $199 if you want a keyboard dock.
Next is the Taichi, this notebook+tablet model features two 11.6" IPS screens with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. It comes with Bang & Olufsen IcePower audio technology, an Ivy Bridge processor, and an unknown amount of flash storage. The pricing of this dual-screen tablet is $1,299.
These prices seem to be more expensive than the $300 to $700 range that Steve Ballmer hinted at for Microsoft's own Surface tablets. At $700 and more it makes a lot more sense to go for a budget laptop rather than an overpriced Atom-based tablet.
In the video below, you can see the ASUS Vivo Tab RT tablet in action running the Unreal Engine 3 demo.
Further, NVIDIA got hands on with the Vivo Tab RT at Computex in the following video.

Really not liking the currens tablets on market (that Asus Transformer is kinda ok but it's Android and Asus). This MS one looks good, price is just a bit too much for me atm, if I was not a student and had good job I would buy it.
Lets hope for some cheaper ones which are not crap.
