Dell Dumps Keyboardless Windows RT Tablets
jfruh writes "On Friday, Dell was selling Windows RT tablets for as low as $300. By this morning, the cheapest one on offer was $479. The difference? The only tablets they're selling now come bundled with keyboards, which may indicate that customers are finding even the Metro-focused RT version of Windows 8 too irritating to navigate by touch alone. (If you really want a 10-inch Dell tablet without a keyboard it looks like you can still get one on Amazon, at least for the time being.)"
Windows RT tablets are a collectors item and you'll be able sell them on E-Bay for a tidy sum. And this is a great reason to buy one today.
Probably true in 10-15 years when the current inventory is down.
She brought hers out to our writer's group last night with the intention of getting sued to it.
Best unintentional humor of the day.
"Press F1 to continue"
You must thank God it didn't ask you to insert the boot disk inside your tablet. Or worse, your Windows Phone!!

Titsup Windows Phone 8 orders user to cram 'boot disc' in mobe
If you keep throwing chairs, one day you'll break windows....
It must be ergonomic
That is all predicated on the faulty assumption that anyone wants to use Windows 8 in the first place.
You can plug in a USB keyboard and hit F1 just fine.
Back in the day, you used to need a PS/2 keyboard to press F1 even if you had a USB keyboard because the BIOS didn't support the USB keyboard. This is no different.
Making it more expensive should fix it.
