Tablet on the Cheap
Saturday, Sep 28, 2002
Anyone who says it's a pipedream for Apple to make a tablet PC for under $1000 should take a look at the $599 ProGear. Granted, they're selling off excess inventory, but given the specs (10.2" LCD screen, 6gig 2.5" hard disk, etc) I think a company with sufficient volume could still make and sell these for under $1000.

The real trick is to make it useful enough to justify the cost, but not so useful as to cannibalize other CPU sales.

The quest for the perfect second computer continues...
