    Price includes all parts, including software. There is no separation, just like an iPad and iOS.
    Anyway, it's all guesswork. Nobody knows.

    Looking at the price of the W700 in that image, I think there's every chance the 64GB i5 model could be under £800. Maybe £749/$799 with the touch case and pen? If it's due to be priced competitively and is a similar spec to the W700 then it can't be much more, surely?

    They stated pretty firmly that they don't plan to undercut their competitors; they are factoring in all of the costs that OEMs would have when pricing these tablets.
