Engadget: Microsoft Surface will cost $ 199
The well-known tekhnoblog Engadget, as they say in such cases, “referring to reliable sources,” states that Microsoft Surface tablets announced by Steve Ballmer will be sold starting October 26 of this year (in other words, simultaneously with the release of Windows 8), starting from $ 199.
Thus, the buyer of the younger version of Microsoft Surface with the Windows RT operating system gets a very good device with a 4-core NVidia Tegra 3 processor, 32 GB of flash memory, a 10.6 "screen, two cameras, a MicroSD slot and a USB port and the original design, which is clearly different from the design reigning in the world of the iPad and the multitude of Android tablets from even the most famous manufacturers.
The fact that the device is unlikely to pay for itself in any other way - selling content (as Amazon does with the Kindle Fire or Google with the Nexus 7) is hardly in doubt. However, both Amazon and Google, if the information from Engadget is correct, receive a very strong competitor in the fall, the fight against which is likely to be very difficult. If we recall that the price of upgrades on Windows 8 will be $ 39.99, and the possible price for a boxed version of the system is $ 69.99, then another aggressive step by Microsoft in popularizing its products and capturing the mobile market segment looks quite logical in this sequence .
