Microsoft Surface tablets

Of the two versions of Microsoft Surface tablets propose the model with embedded processor ARM architecture will be cheaper and therefore more public. The question of price is truly central. It was also very well seen with the Nexus 7 tablet Google.

But, in fact, Microsoft has just announced the price of its tablet surface RT. The site Techcrunch had been able to access them on the Microsoft site before the page is removed. It discovered the price of the tablet running Windows Surface RT.

They range from € 489 to € 694 . This is because a cold shower remembers Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, said they would begin at $ 300. We finally deal with prices comparable to those of the iPad .

Thus, the RT area with 32 GB of internal memory but without Touch Cover shows a price of € 489 . The same model with Touch Cover Black is € 589 while the version including 64 GB of memory and Touch Cover Black is proposed € 694 . Touch Cover is the keyboard that protects the tablet. Available in three colours (black, white and cyan), it will be priced at € 120 while the Type Cover which differs from Touch Cover with a physical keyboard will be sold € 130.

It is October 26 that the surface will be sold in stores Microsoft Canada and the United States but also online in eight countries: Australia, Canada, China, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong and United States.

Still, with a first prize € 489, it will be difficult for the area to compete with the iPad installed on the market. There is also concern for the prices of tablets surface with x86 architecture processors will run on Windows 8.
