Microsoft Surface Tablet Price For $599 Wi-Fi Only

We heard at the Surface unveiling that we should expect the Windows RT version to be competitive with other top ARM tablets and the Windows 8 Pro version to be an Ultrabook competitor.

Microsoft’s Surface tablet will launch as a Wi-Fi-only device, according to a report from Bloomberg. And though Microsoft has remained ambiguous about Microsoft Surface Tablet Price, saying it will be “comparable” to tablets with similar specs, a report from The Next Web indicates the Microsoft Surface Tablet Price Windows RT model will start at $599, and the Microsoft Surface Tablet Price Windows 8 Pro model will start at $999.

Microsoft could also be going Wi-Fi-only to keep its Surface price down, making it competitive with the iPad. But it doesn’t look like the Surface will undercut the iPad in any way. The starting price is supposedly set at $599 for the 32GB model — that’s exactly the same cost as the latest 32GB Wi-Fi-only iPad, and it’s significantly more expensive than competing Android tablets.

On the higher end, Microsoft Surface Tablet Price for Windows 8 Pro will reportedly cost $999, which is about the same price as an ultrabook. It’s not a surprise, considering how often Microsoft execs referred to the Surface as “a powerful PC” during Monday’s launch. If the tablets come bundled with the Touch Cover or Type Cover, then the high price would make more sense. Still, it might come as sticker shock to consumers who are used to seeing tablets for much less.

But, Microsoft Surface Tablet Price official, Microsoft has not confirmed these prices.
