MS says they will go for $499 for the basic 32GB tablet, without the touch cover that adds a lot of functionality. The 32GB with the cover is $599 and the 64GB tablet with the cover is $699. Yikes, that’s a bit steep. Would you pay this much for a tablet?Now getting into the technical aspects you may be wondering about… currently the Surface is available only with Windows RT, a scaled back version of the Windows 8 operating system designed specifically for devices like tablets. However, the Microsoft site indicates that Surface tablets will be available with the Windows 8 operating system in the near future. Could an entirely new Mac vs. PC campaign could begin soon?
