How much do you think window 8 tablets will cost?

I bought my Samsung Xe700t1a for just under £1000. Admittedly it didnt come with Windows 8, but it was designed for it. Its a top of the range win8 slate, so is more expensive. From what i have seen, the real slates (tablets) will be way more powerful and expensive than iPads and androids because they seem to be smartphones with a large screen, where as win8 tablets are full PCs inside. Mine for example has 4cores, 4GB ram and a 128GB SSD. Ive been installing all games from win7 on to it and so far have only found Left For Dead 2 that wont work. Cant do that on iOS or Android!
Let's put the logic.
the cheapest android tablet available is around $100 . W8 for tablet usually will cost $50. so.. the cheapest tablet would be more than $150, considering its windows that need resources .the most luxurious tablet would probably cost at most $1500. so the minimum - maximum price range is $150-$1500. But, i predict most of the tablets would cost around $300-$800, because of the resources needed.
well that's just prediction. who knows what the price might be

I would think between 250 for an entry level tab up to 1200 for top of the range. Mid range would guess four to six hundred. Personally cannot wait for them to come out

that's just it, if MS and Intel who are both sitting on an enormous amount of spare cash could subsidise the cost of a 1st gen cheap x86 part, sub 400, it would blow the socks of anything else out there.
Produce the cheapest ARM solution that shows of Win 8, say around the 200-300 mark, then subsidise an adequate 300-400 x86 part, people will always upgrade if there are options, but its not about that, MS and Intel should try and saturate the lower end of the market whilst providing for the top end as well.
It "could" work very well, but only if they can get cheapish x86 parts or have very good sub 400 ARM parts

I heard for Mobile version of win8/ARM if any. Should be half the cost of the full fledge win8 versions on the tablets.

1Windows 8 tab price
I am guessing you will get what you pay for. Windows tablets using arm architecture will more than likely cost the least, being competitive with the current line of Android and Apple offerings. Buyers will be limited to metro apps and select 1st party Microsoft applications; however, the price in general SHOULD be lower than a Win8 tablet running on Intel architecture. Tablets running win8 on a normal x86-64 processor will be the wild card. Slap some low end components in a generic plastic case with a touch screen and it will more than likely cost less than the highest end Windows on arm tablet. I am sure Origin PC will have a $5,000 USD Windows 8 gaming tablet that has two full sized graphics cards in SLI/crossfire configuration and overclocked components available at some point (might actually become a reality if you have seen the Razer gaming tablet). So my predictions after all this ranting?
Win8 on ARM tablets: $250-$600+
Win8 on Intel tablets: $400-more money you would ever want to spend on anything.
