The following article over at UMPCPortal is instructive
about all those $100 Windows 8.1 tablets. Basically,
Chippy advises treating these tablets as if they ran
Windows RT, that is, staying within the Modern/Mtro UI
and just loading Windows Store apps, and avoiding
desktop/classic Windows software, as installing the
desktop/classic software will just gobble up disk space
and RAM, and only frustrate users

I think Microsoft will make a lot of haters among Windows
users accustomed to traditional notebooks and desktops.
Reminds me of the Carterfone decision, which let anybody
make telephone handsets, and consumers thought that a
$6 mainland Chinese knockoff (of the AT&T 2500 telephone
set) would work as well as said AT&T 2500. The consumers
were dead wrong.
Dell has some pretty serious deals here:

Dell Venue 8 (16GB, Moorefield) + wireless charging Cradle for $200. First tablet since the HP touchpad which comes with an official wireless charging dock.
If these use the same awful Synaptics active digitizer,
as the original Venue 8 Pro, then there are
going to be a lot of unhappy customers.
I’m not speaking about the 8 Pro, but the android version. I don’t think it comes with active digitizer at all.
I think it’s a Merrifield not moorefield chip
