Cost and date of appearance of Microsoft Surface Pro
Microsoft has finally announced the cost of its second tablet - Surface Pro, which, unlike Surface RT, runs on the "full-fledged" Windows 8 Pro.
The cost of the devices was higher than that predicted by the experts. 899 dollars will cost in the US Surface Pro with 64 GB of memory, 128 GB version of the device will cost 999 dollars. Included with the tablet is a special Surface Pen stylus, keyboard covers have to be bought separately.
So it turns out that you will have to pay more than $ 1,000 for a device with a keyboard (and to work in a “full-fledged” Windows) (Touch Touch Cover sells for $ 120, Type Cover - for 130), which is more than the American cost of an ultra-thin Macbook Air (11-inch base version with 64 GB of memory costs $ 999). For the same money ($ 1020), you can purchase a powerful laptop or even an ultrabook.

In this case, the tablet can not be called compact - its weight is 907 grams, and its thickness is 14 mm. This is much more than ARM tablets like the iPad - the main competitor for Microsoft Surface. Apple iPad 4th generation weighs 652 grams, and its thickness - 9.4 mm - the difference, you see, is significant. Microsoft claims that the battery life of the device will be approximately two times less than that of the Surface RT (both are equipped with the same 42.5Wh batteries, but the Pro version has a much more powerful processor), i.e. about 4 hours at standard load. This is quite a modest figure.
Yes, Microsoft Surface Pro has a really powerful stuffing - a 10.6-inch Full HD display, an Intel Core i5 processor (Ivy Bridge), 4 GB of RAM, a full USB 3.0 port and a mini DisplayPort, but probably for many it costs dimensions will be an obstacle to purchase.
The company reports that the sale of Microsoft Surface Pro will appear in January.
