 "Microsoft slashes Surface Pro price by $100 following Surface RT price drop")
Microsoft is now going to sell its Surface Pro tablet at a discounted price from August 4 to August 29. Currently, the official website lists the Surface Pro 64GB variant for $799 (Rs 48,600 approx) and the 128GB variant for $899 (Rs 54,600 approx), which amounts to a $100 (Rs 6,080 approx) discount.
The discount is a result of heavy reductions that the company has been making to its Surface RT prices recently. The $100 discount on the Surface Pro, which results in a 10 percent price-drop, is applicable to both the 64GB and 128GB models.
Recent reports indicate that Microsoft’s Surface RT tablets saw a 30 percent price cut. The company took a $900 million hit due to the Surface RT in the latest quarter. Earlier reports indicated that the company may be looking at refreshed avatars of the Surface RT and the Surface Pro models.
