The battle of the tablets to be held in the second half of this year will not be free only in the trenches of the performance and power, but also in the pocket. So the focus at least some manufacturers that will launch Windows-based terminals 8. And according to data given by the trade publication DigiTimes, the bet is launched with the release of the tablets that support Microsoft's upcoming platform will be focused to compete on price with the devices already on the market.

So much so that, according to DigiTimes, after its opening the tablets with Windows 8 terminals could see prices below $ 300. Apparently, the coming-out of these devices come backed by an army of some 32 different models from several manufacturers who opt for ARM or x86 architecture to supply the operation of each terminal.



Logically, we would not with a string of terminals lindaran in price so attractive proposal for the pocket. The margin, as we have known, would move from under the cap to $ 300, and would reach 1,000 , based on more powerful devices and equipped. However, not much data on them to help us determine to what extent will determine the technical profile of each device to finally check the price tag of the tablets that we see with Windows 8.

Among the manufacturers have already recognized the bandwagon of Windows 8 we see familiar faces: Asus, Hewlett-Packard, or what is the same, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer and Nokia, among others. With the exception of the Finnish company, whose relationship with Microsoft is mediated by the association that both have been sealed for the development of mobile phones with Windows Phone, and will extend to this market with Nokia's foray into the realm of tablets supported by the platform that we will see in October, the rest of the manufacturers mark on the whole the idea that Microsoft does not guide the strategy in the same direction as Apple or Google.

And knowing that, as noted already, the tablets with Windows 8 will be compatible with the Intel x86 architecture and most of these manufacturers are engaged in laptops or desktops, there is no doubt that the vocation of the next Microsoft platform lindará not, as in the case of IOS and Android, the mobile environment concept, but rather closer to the philosophy of traditional operating systems, dragging the PC version to the type of usability it presupposes a tablet-a direction that is also slowly turning Apple Mac OS X.
