I am very price conscious, mainly because I'm not into gaming. Therefore, I will be giving WinRT devices an almost exclusive look. Just get the display size up to about 12" and make sure it's a dockable hybrid. IMO - there will be lots of consumers willing to use a WinRT device with its Office and Skydrive integration. Outstanding! Please get id of as much of the outside edge around the display as possible.
Depends on whether its a Snapdragon S4 or S4 Pro. Both are expected to be available by the end of the year, so it'll be up to OEMs which chip they use.

Hmm.. Here I was.. thinking that Qualcomm had finally decided to license Imagination Tech's DirectX compatible GPUs for their WoA platforms...B3an - Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - link
The Adreno 225 in this tablet would have to support DirectX 10 and WDDM 1.2 as it's a requirement for all WinRT (and Win 8 x86) tablets.r3loaded - Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - link
I was actually expect them to wait for the S4 Pro with the Adreno 300 series GPUs before unveiling their Windows RT support.worleyeoe - Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - link

Some sites reported it as using Adreno 320, though I am far more willing to believe Anandtech on this.dagamer34 - Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - link

Qualcomm told us it's APQ8060A and thus Adreno 225. I couldn't physically verify however.Take care,

isn't the Adreno 225 the same one used in the HP touchpad?codedivine - Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - link
Touchpad had Adreno 220. Adreno 225 is similar but with higher clocks and usually comes with newer drivers.
