    After looking at Windows 8 device prices I am starting to think Tiffany's jewellery is very affordable.. Come on guys, where are affordable devices?

    They're laptop and ultrabook replacements, so I suppose that's where the pricepoint has been worked out, still, $799 for the Yoga 11 RT device sounds a bit steep.

    Um....$800 for an ARM device?

    Is this real life?

    ...or is this just fantasy...

    I'll get my coat...

    On a more serious note though, seeing as a lot of people are seemingly sitting on the fence with regards to Windows 8, you'd have thought that there'd have been a cavalcade of manufactures clamouring over doing some juicy deals in the mid-range laptop market, but $800 for an ARM device is just ridiculous and rather fantastically optimistic...but alas, perhaps time will tell of just how wise such pricing is.
