Lenovo plans to school Microsoft's Surface with $300 Windows RT tablets

Lenovo plans to school Microsoft's Surface with $300 Windows RT tablets

. Like its fellow OEM HP (HPQ), Lenovo (LNVGY) is refusing to join the Microsoft (MSFT) Surface crybaby brigade and is instead concentrating on building a competitive tablet. Bloomberg this week caught up with David Schmoock, chief of Lenovo's North America operations, who said that Lenovo's best opportunity to make a dent in the tablet market was to use Windows RT for all its tablets. The reason, he said, is pretty simple: Window RT devices can be priced between $300 and $400 while Windows 8 tablets will be priced in the $600 to $700 range.

"RT will play in consumer and retail at very aggressive price points," he said.
