Dell Dumps Keyboardless Windows RT Tablets 186
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.

Best unintentional humor of the day.

You must thank God it didn't ask you to insert the boot disk inside your tablet. Or worse, your Windows Phone!!

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.
I guess the problem was the price. (Score:5, Funny)
Making it more expensive should fix it.
