Presented in China the first tablets with Windows for 50 euros

A year ago it seemed impossible, but now is a reality. Manufacturers have managed to adjust the price of the Windows tablets almost ridiculously low prices, some of the latest models in Hong Kong come to $ 65 (51 euros). It is the direct result of the new policy of Microsoft, which began offering licenses for free, and has indirect collaboration of Intel, another company that has demonstrated its readiness to reduce its profits to zero in order to win competition on market.

Someone in Redmond decided a while it was time to “jump into the mud” to fight Android does. Google’s operating system has a big advantage in market share, and one of the reasons that has led to this situation is that it has managed to reach all users with devices ranging from the lowest to the highest range . The Microsoft licensing policy, until it was modified, I kept margins for manufacturers of Windows tablets to become competitive with Android prices and economic models were virtually impossible to carry out.

We are now in a very different period. Microsoft decided to give away their licenses to Windows tablets of less than 9 inches or less than $ 250, and since then we are seeing different companies, some familiar, like Toshiba, have launched models at very low prices, which are around $ 100. Another major factor has been Intel. The chip maker, which had been removed from the market by Qualcomm and Mediatek, was proposed in early 2014 to reach 40 million shipments by focusing on the low end. Although the goal is difficult, taking months processors offering at bargain prices.

 The Hong Kong Trade Development Council meeting this week, has witnessed the presentation of the first ultra-economic models of the Microsoft platform. Tablets whose price has been lowered to $ 65, about 51 euros and that contrary to what we might expect, have a decent sheet. Certainly opened a new episode in its history.

 One of these tablets is the Emdoor EM-I8170, with 7-inch screen resolution 1024 x 600 pixels. Inside we found a Bay Trail Intel quad core processor accompanied by 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, features that could correspond to a much more expensive device. But it is not the only option, there is another 8-inch model with similar characteristics of the company Ployer.
