Microsoft Surface Laptop and Pro raise the price barrier for budget shoppers

Microsoft has put up an updated list of surface computing machines on pre -shelves, providing a new design language and a lower demand price with a tablet and new laptop. While in it, the company also pulled the Surface Pro and Lear-Level models from its website.

Currently, the Microsoft Online store only displays Snapdragon x Plus and X Elite variables that start from $ 1,199. Likewise, the Surface Pro price is now sitting at $ 1,199.99 in the Microsoft store for its cheapest composition.

For the 15 -inch surface mobile device, the cost of entering 1499 dollars increased. The Microsoft Store interface currently lists the starting price at $ 1,299 for this type, but the 256 GB storage is currently working.

In fact, you can no longer buy a 256 GB storage variable from Surface Pro and Surface Laptop (13.8 inches and 15 inches) from Microsoft. When these two devices were offered last year, they both carried a start price of $ 999 in the US market.

What is changing?

This is not a rise in prices, in itself, because Microsoft has extracted the low storage option from the store interface. The price barrier has increased for buyers, however. In a joint statement with Engadget, the company says you can still buy $ 999 from third -party sellers.

However, the port notes that the price of shipping accessories has increased by 33 % under the surface label. The 127W charger now goes to $ 175, up from its $ 125 beating not long ago. The 65W charger rose from $ 60 to $ 90 in the official store.

It is not clear how long will the Surface Pro $ 999 ($ ​​1399) will continue and the 13.8 -inch laptop will continue and whether Microsoft will re -storage 256 GB in its online store.

What are your options?

The latter looks unlikely, as Microsoft introduces the new 12 -inch Surface Pro and a 13 -inch laptop at a lower price. For a 13 -inch surface mobile device, keep in mind that the choice between SSD and UFS storage, stereotypes are not restored, either.

The new Microsoft Tablet starts from $ 799, giving it a lot of breathing space for the largest Surface Pro. It offers a new design language for the menu as well as the keyboard. This introduces one of the Qualcomm X Plus, Silicone, 16 GB RAM, and a new magnetic charging system for the pen.

Upon access to a 13 -inch surface laptop, it’s MacBook Air Wannabe with a similar design, the same memory and processor mode like his 12 -inch tablet, and $ 899 valuable price in the United States. However, it misses a fast update screen and does not move away from the rival’s restrictions.
