Pfu... they don't get it. People would buy if the price is reasonable. There are iIdiots and there are other people in the world who wouldn't sell a kidney to buy a gadget.

Pretty sure the profit margins for the upcoming Tegra 3 ICS tablets aren't that large. Pretty sure the device itself+OS is around 300-350 just to manufacture. Along with marketing fees, import/export taxes, royalties, etc. It adds up a lot before it comes into the hands of consumers.
 
I was surprised when I saw the "2GB of 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM" and this is only a tablet. My desktop ram is only rated 1333 mhz.
 
It's about time tablets are seeing larger size & higher speed RAM. Although, I wonder if it will negatively impact battery life or whether the new tegra 3's SOC is power efficient enough to compensate.

Nah higher ram speed don't really make a difference especially in battery life so that's not an issue.
 
Ill pass on the Tegra 3 platform after seeing how weak @ss the graphics are going to be.
 
damn it i lost everything that i typed after i logged in to post a comment. i will try to summarize. I think the specs look good quad core 1.6, 10.1" screen, usb support, andriod 4.0, made by leveno. this is just for surfing the web looking at spreadsheets and watching video. i like it and unless something comes out in the next 4 months that is way better this might be my first tablet perches.
 
The screen resolution is the decider between the Transformer Prime and the Lenovo...
