Lenovo’s Android tablet melee continues this week with the
Chinese electronics giant posting planned prices for the business class ThinkPad
Honeycomb tablets.
But looking at the list prices we think we’ll grab
one in HongKong.
The
Lenovo ThinkPad range and
Android tablets are aimed at business users in mind, and as such come in a classy business-like design, sporting powerful hardware and the latest Honeycomb OS, however the prices for the
Chinese mainland are a bit ridiculous!
A 10-inch Tegra 2 ThinkPad with 16GB of storage will cost
Chinese consumers an incredible 5999 Yuan ($940) while the same
tablet in HongKong is priced at a far more reasonable 3998 Yuan ($626).
The same can be said for the
32GB which is priced at 6999 Yuan and 64Gb at 7999 Yuan which can both be bought cheaper in
HK.
Let’s hope these prices for the LeOS UI devices are a hiccough in Lenovo’s
marketing system.
