Sorta-low-cost Surface tablet coming
Posted on May 16, 2018 at 08:57 CDT by woody • Comment in the ForumsMary Jo Foley nailed it:
Microsoft looks to be ready to try to tackle the low end of the PC market with a new low-end, low-cost Surface line-up. But the big question is why.
So we can expect a tablet the size of a small iPad Pro, with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, for $400. Plus $100 for the pen. Plus $120 for the keyboard/cover.
Yawwwwwwwwwn.
