WTF, way to compete.

I will admit its a berry nice machine that I was very eager to get. But not for 2 Fn Grand

I'd say $1000 for an Ivy Bridge convertible tablet, either that design or an Asus Transformer is a fair price. I agree, $2K+ is just waaay too much.

But is it? your not getting a crippled computer (like an iPad or Android tablet) but a fully featured PC that can run desktop apps. The price is about right, when you think about it. The only problem is even though x86 Win8 tablets [although technically this one is a convertable Ultrabook, not a tablet] are in a completely different league to the other tablets, it will get compared to them and in turn it's price. I'd say the Windows on ARM based tablets will be the cheaper, directed at iPad, devices that you seek. That is my 2 cents, take with a grain of salt.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
