CNet: Mike Abary, the head of Samsung's PC and tablet business in the U.S., tells CNET that the company will not be releasing its Windows RT device in the U.S. because retail partners don't see strong demand and because the value proposition for Windows RT isn't clear to consumers.

they just not as light or efficient as current tablets...
I seriously can't see the battery life lasting anywhere near real tablets...
but at the same time, it would be cool to just pull the screen of my laptop and have some kinda tablet when i need one...
Having Windows 8, Windows phone 8, and Windows 8 rt is just ridiculous. Its too confusing for consumers and serves no purpose. One O.S. for the mobile market and one for the laptop/desktop market.
They probably could've had a Start Button menu option to change the GUI on the desktop windows 8. I understand they were trying to create buzz with their new products but they have shot themselves in the foot.
This would be something for uni taking notes and such, hell I actually thought I might as well either get an iPad or the Macbook Air. But I swore i would slit my throat before I ever bought an apple product but that day seems to be getting closer and closer.
I've had mine now for two years and it still astonishes me how well-made this thing feels. Yes, you can get the same spec or higher processors and RAM as standard on cheaper windows laptops but the overall hardware in the lower price ranges pales in comparison.
The flex on the screens and creaks in the plastic cases of my past windows laptops always unsettled me and I've never found a laptop (in any price range) with a trackpad that works as well as this one.
Haters will no doubt continue to hate on apple products, but if you spend any time getting to know the OS and the hardware, there's a good chance you'll be won over.
I honestly think that anyone who dislikes RT has never really tried it. And yeah, Win8 agrees with me, too. I disliked it at first (change is scary), but eventually I've grown to appreciate the new start page over the old start bar. ...and I obviously have no gripes with the speed improvements, as a gamer.
I looked at those about about a month ago because it was taking too long for the Pro to come out. I just need the HD screen of the pro.
But if anyone is interested, there are a few Series 7 slates on ebay without the HDD's going for under $600. I have a spare SSD laying around and I was tempted, lol
Windows 8 beta is out: "Uh, you just haven't TRIED it!"
Windows 8/RT launches: "You just haven't tried it!"
Windows out for months: "You just haven't tried it!"
Most of them have tried it. Stop kidding yourself.
I honestly believe most of the jokers who jump down its throat, on the internet, are well.. trolls looking for something to troll. When you know more RL persons who use it, and like it, than you know trolls on the internet who hate it (but repost their hate alot, because that's how they thrive)... it's hard to take the trolls' arguments seriously.
