Intel Studybooks unveiled with a $200 Price Tage | Tablets targeted at Student Market

Chip maker, Intel has announced the launch of its 7-inch tablet encased in rugged plastic, created specifically for use in the education market.

The tablets, named Intel studybooks, are expected to cost less than $200 each.

The durability and low price of Intel Studybooks, is reminiscent of the "$100" laptop, created by the organization One Laptop Per Child – which was eventually released in 2007 at a above $100 price tag. But coming back to its initial promise the OLPC organization recently introduced a low-cost tablet in January expected to be priced at $100 or less (Video Below):
