wow..isn't that a bit expensive ? :/

Demon55005992d ago

And there you go guys, this is why Apple will never have a huge hand in the console market, The Islate is just to expansive, even tho the product is well designed, it will be just out of the reach of 90% of gamers budgets,

Minimee5992d ago

just rumours for the moment, maybe this is gonna be a little cheaper...but that still will be a little expensive at launch i think...

Cosquae5992d ago

Apple products aren't priced so much on what the tech costs to produce, but rather what people are willing to pay for the end item.

People pay a premium for a new gadget - check.
People pay a premium for what they consider a 'cool' brand - check.

After a while, the price will come down, depending on the markets reaction to the toy/gadget. They can't/aren't willing to beat netbooks on price so they're going to try on design and utility it looks like.

it's expensive , too even ....
However it's hardly better when it comes to tablet pcs . And most of them got crappy screens and resolutions .

Anyway my point is , this time at least , it's not Apple going insane , the market for the thing already was .

I know that without better alternatives , besides some heavy laptop without touchscreen most of the time , i'll be getting it anyway .

Why ? i read a lot of digital comics and manga , and ebooks . So again my options when i'm moving around , are between the i-slate , some heavy and cumbersome laptop , expensive and also heavy big ebooks reader that dont even do colors , and expensive tablet pc with lousy windows os .

I dont get why people pay so much money just to look 'cool' for an inferior product.

Baka-akaB5991d ago

again inferior to what exactly ?
Expensive B&w big ebook reader screens ? Or expensive tablet pc with a meh os (though havent tried any of those with 7 yet , wich should be far better , given the desktop experience) and so so tactil recognition ?

I dont care about looking cool with an apple thingy . some of us needs what it might propose for some tasks or work , and there is definitively a void to fill for the ones like me concerned by it .

Again if anything please show me better , i've been trying all looking for it all the time .

Guitardr855991d ago

Where did you come up with inferior...This is actually pretty advanced! Although I will admit that I wish that this thing could run windows instead of OS X or whatever...

Wow that's ridiculous if its true. But it wouldn't surprise me seeing how Apple prices most of their products.

hoops5992d ago

If that price is correct. Rippppppp Offffffffff.

bioshock12215992d ago

Really apple Imagine if they actually got into the video game industry by making a console like many rumors out there have been saying. I wouldn't doubt it that they would price it at $1500.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing33d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9233d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit33d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing33d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9233d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
