Microsoft Surface Windows RT version priced at 3807 yuan

Microsoft has obviously issued the new panel assembly orders to Pegatron, one of ODM manufacturers and suppliers of iPad. It is learned from the message人士 of the notebook supply chain that the Windows RT tablet with a lower selling price may cost over $599, approximately RMB 3807 yuan. This device uses NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor.

The tablet equipped with Windows 8 Pro system will be available in the market later this year. It adopts Core i5 Ivy Bridge processor. But considering that the release time of this equipment may coincide with the crazy shopping season, its pricing will exceed $799, approximately RMB 5078 yuan. However, it is uncertain whether the above prices include the prices of external keyboard and magnetic protective cover.

Microsoft has won recognition in the industry for the outstanding appearance of Surface, so naturally it would set a high selling price. However, it seems necessary to think twice. Because users can buy the Acer Iconia Tab A700 tablet with full HD screen for $450. If Microsoft only pursues high price, users will mercilessly abandon this device after trying it.

In addition, some analysts believe that Microsoft can adopt higher pricing to relieve dissatisfaction from hardware partners. Otherwise, they would feel that Microsoft is not fair enough.
