Since Microsoft first unveiled its 10-inch Surface tablets, one question?s been on everyone?s lips: does it have what it takes to stand up against the might of the iPad? Well, if one amazing new rumour proves true, it could clean up. Is Microsoft taking a leap out of Amazon?s pricing book?
The Amazon Kindle Fire proved to be such an enormous success at launch for one main reason: it was cheap as the proverbial potato cuttings. Well, if word from an anonymous source is to be believed, Microsoft may well be about to recreate that success by launching the entry-level Surface RT at just $199 (?127), and swallowing up any difference in manufacturing costs.
That?s insane value for a flagship 10-inch tablet, and would rock the iPad?s podium something chronic. And the best thing is, it could well be completely true?
Microsoft Surface: Everything you need to know
Acer?s CEO JT Wang has been blasting Microsoft?s decision to cut out its partners and go it alone in the hardware business, and has actually be quoted as mentioning the $199 entry price. According to Wang, that would be disastrous to Acer, as well as the likes of Samsung and any other Windows 8 tablet vendors. Case in point: Toshiba has just announced that it no longer plans to make and such devices.
A 10-inch, Windows 8 tablet that doubles as a full-on computer for just ?127? Yes please?
