- It looks like the pricing for Microsoft’s upcoming Windows RT Surface tablet will start at $500 — with a TouchCover keyboard case available for an additional $100.
- “The pricing and specifications of the new Surface tablets were briefly revealed at Microsoft’s online store today on a page that was quickly pulled,” reported Digital Trends on Tuesday.
- “The 32GB version of the ARM-based Surface tablet running Windows RT (a version of Windows 8) will set you back $500,” notes the post. “The 64GB version with the black TouchCover keyboard case will set you back $700.”
- The TypeCover keyboard will reportedly be offered for $130, while the $100 TouchCovers will be available in a range of colors. The new tablets are expected to go on sale immediately following the scheduled Windows 8 event on October 25.
- According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft has ordered 3-5 million Surface tablets for the fourth quarter. “That’s reportedly on a par with the numbers Amazon and Google ordered of the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 respectively, but way below the 10 million iPad minis that Apple has supposedly ordered,” notes Digital Trends.
