Swedish site claims Microsoft Surface RT tablet to cost $1000 (rumor)
\
\
\
\
The Microsoft Surface tablet isn’t set to launch for another few months, this doesn’t mean retailers can’t get ready to sell. A 3rd party retailer has leaked the prices of the Microsoft Surface, pricing the 32GB Surface RT at $1000 which is higher than the iPad.
\
\
\
If the prices are correct, then it is more than likely that the Surface isn’t going to sell well. If the RT tablet is priced at $1000, the Pro version must be way higher. This isn’t good for a tablet that’s going to run an operating system that is already being heavily criticized.
\
Pricing the device at $1000 puts it way higher than the highest spec iPad at $829, with the lowest being priced at around $499.
\
Microsoft should price the Surface RT tablet around 100 dollars lower than the iPad, which would put it at a great standing point for consumer tablets. Pricing the RT at $1000 isn’t going to make consumers look twice at the thing.
\
This is just a rumour, so the prices listed above could be false.
