| said by prairiesky:that's the worst logic i've ever heard. just because tablets are bigger doesn't mean they cost more to produce. Getting the same power into a smaller package costs more. Did you know it costs significantly more to produce a 22in Tv than it does to produce a 32"....
in a similar fashion, a laptop is much more expensive than a desktop with the same specs.
*facepalm* First of all, 32" TVs cost more than 22" ones. Not sure what store catalog you're ogling. Secondly, laptops use different hardware than desktops, and are engineered for mobility and low-power usage.
Smartphones and tablets OTOH use the exact same hardware. The iPhone 4S uses the exact same A5 chip as the iPad 2, with slight customizations to lower clock speed. Otherwise the benchmarks come out exactly the same.
The cost of a multitouch screen increases exponentially the larger its size. 10" screens are far, *far* more expensive than 4" ones. |
