ASUS to stop production of RT tablets due to dissapionting sales.

[Cobalt]

This morning, ASUS Chief Executive Jerry Shen stated, “It's not only our opinion, the industry sentiment is also that Windows RT has not been successful.” Citing weak sales and the need to take a write-down on its Windows RT tablets in the second quarter, ASUS will be focusing its energies on more productive devices. Specifically, Shen goes on to state that ASUS will only make Windows 8 devices using with Intel processors, thanks to the backwards compatibility that provides—and something Windows RT lacks.

I hate tablets: NOT ENOUGH POWAAAAA!

 

Now seriously, we need a slimmer and cheaper Razer Edge! Being able to run desktop apps on a device that small with some "screen real estate" would make it a justifiable purchase to me. For now I'll stick with my desktop and my phone, hope to get a laptop soon as well!
