ComputerWorld points out that Dell has drastically cut the online price of its Windows RT tablet and is now selling the device for $299.99. The price is a $200 drop from the original $499 price offered at the launch of the Dell XPS 10 last October.



The cost cut was "due to a combination of factors," Dell spokeswoman Ellen Murphy said in an emailed statement, without directly commenting on the slow early sales of Windows RT tablets in the overall market. She said Dell considered its inventory of the XPS 10 and "competitive positioning and other market factors" in making the cost reduction.
