Price is a deciding factor: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379100,00.asp

If anyone is competing with iPad, they better price it appropriately. There is no reason for a typical consumer to choose a tablet that costs more than iPad, unless it provides a damn good experience that is beyond the iPad experience.

Why would price be a deciding factor in the return rates, which happen after the buy decision has been made?

I bought a Mac Mini and returned it last year. If it had cost 1/2 as much, I wouldn't have returned it. It just didn't do enough for me to justify the price. If something turns out to be worth less to you than (the return value - time and irritation cost of doing the return), you return it.

Because people have time to actually use it and decide what it's worth to them?
