For this year Microsoft had proposed to improve the competitiveness of its platform against Android, offering a greater range of possibilities in both features and price. If there is something that had characterized Windows tablets until this year, it was that most belonged to the high end and therefore, in many cases exceeded 600 euros. The situation has begun to change but it will be in the autumn, as announced by those from Redmond, when the key moment will occur: the Windows tablets under $ 100 will be a reality.
Nobody doubts the advantages that Microsoft and Windows offer over the rest of the alternatives, for example, the possibility of using Office on a portable device, essential according to the user profile. The problem was clear, not everyone can afford to afford the expense of acquiring or a Surface or similar. The lack of options, the shortage of variety greatly reduced his options. It is possible that only Apple will be able to maintain such a strategic model. If they continued like this, the future of Windows as a platform for tablets would not bring good news.
Microsoft realized that something had to change, the price of its licenses was unaffordable for manufacturers who wanted to market tablets for a lower price, since it reduced their margin. They started by giving them away for devices under 9 inches and later for those priced less than $ 250, a ultimately key movement for the kingsing w8 that we present to you has gone ahead. Kevin Turner, a director of the company, said that in autumn we would start to see tablets around the U.S. dollar 99 and notebooks for $ 249, since the interest of the manufacturers was not a problem.
The Kingsing W8 was the first to be announced ahead of a more reputable company. It is currently the cheapest Windows tablet on the market, 99 dollars exactly, and features that have little to envy to Android tablets with similar prices.
