Cisco prices its Cius tablet for "under $750"

article published on 30 June, 2011

Cisco has announced the price for its Cius tablet with the ambiguous "under $750" price point. Adding to the confusion, the company says added options can bring the price to "below $700 for some customers." The company will release the tablet on July 31st, coinciding with the end of their fiscal year. The device is aimed at corporate customers.

I'm thinking maybe it had better be under $700/750, seeing as how every other tablet out there is under $500-600ish?

I'm still under the impression that a laptop might still be better money spent. If for nothing more, the ability to 'limited-ly' (I know, no such word) upgrade the laptop and repair some of the components if damaged. Something that isn't exactly that tangible with the tablets. At the moment anyway... Certainly not worth the higher price tag. However, the "wow" factor leaves a bit to be desired.

From what I see, people with iPads usually have a laptop too.

I don't think it's an either or situation.

I fail to see your comparison... I own a car & a SUV, but if I leave it at just that, it's just a blank statement. No quantification.

So folks with a iPad also have laptops. That's fine; but why? Is there inherently something to the laptop that the iPad doesn't fulfill or vice-verse?

I quantified the reasons for why a laptop outweighed "my" purchase for a tablet & felt it 'might' echo that of a few others; especially given the price points within the article.

Obviously, it didn't echo yours & that's perfectly fine, but I ask you this; why did the folks in your statement feel the need to still have both (it's redundant, I can pretty much guess)?

Plus... leave a person's quotes in context. It's a bit like capitalization. You wouldn't want to be misquoted either.
