That's pretty slick, and price isn't all that terrible. This is a full W8 tablet, not an RT.

$800 for a 1900x1080 IPS screen and 128gb SSD aren't exactly found cheaply in Notebooks either, cheapest 1080p notebook at Newegg is a $1k model marked down to $650, is an i5, but no SSD. Not completely comparable because discrete graphics make it a different target than this tablet, but I think you get my point. Interested in seeing what these devices get marked down to.

One is coming to Vegas, just wish it wasn't in the ginormous mall in the strip I've only been to like 3 times in my entire life as a local here.

It's not a store, it's a kiosk.

Does it surprise you that some of the theads here are all hype and no substance?

Happy to see a new thread showing the pics of the store instead of just updating the one about stores being opened.

They are opening one up here in Connecticut across from the Apple Store.

I have a feeling one store will be rather empty and the other will be packed.

Yeah I mean I like CoD but I'd never play it on a Tablet. I tried that CoD knock off that Gameloft made and the controls just weren't suited for a quick reflex FPS.
