In a recent interview with Bloomberg, David Schmoock, Senior VP of Lenovo's
North American division, said that full-on Windows 8 tablets would ring up
between $600 and $700, noting that ARM-based Windows RT slates would sell
for $200 to $300 less. "RT will play in consumer and retail at very
aggressive price points," he said. This echoes previous reports that
suggested Microsoft would introduce the Surface with a competitive $200
price tag. The Lenovo VP didn't reveal any specific prices, of course, but
his estimates would put the ThinkPad Tablet 2 somewhere between $300 and $
500.
