Asus prices up tablet netbook

Shane McCarrick

Pricey- and with a crap processor...... 

Who is going to pay £450 for a touch screen netbook, with a really awful processor and very low onboard storage? Perhaps the same question was asked of the 701- when it debuted- but at least it had price in its favour. At £450- I can get a very reasonable laptop- just why would I spend that sort of money on this plaything?
