O tablet da Microsoft, com lançamento previsto para 26 de outubro, deve custar US$ 199, segundo uma fonte citada pelo site norte-americano Engadget.
Apresentado como "o palco do novo Windows", o aparelho foi anunciado no mês de junho. O tablet com Windows RT tem apenas 9,3 mm de espessura, com portas USB 2.0, todo feito em magnésio. A tela tem 10,6 polegadas e o aparelho tem acesso a todos os aplicativos padrão da Windows Store.
O Surface vem com seu próprio suporte - Kickstand - sem necessitar de acessórios e capas. É equipado com Gorilla Glass, e vem com capa integrada - que é também um teclado multitoque - com apenas 3 mm de espessura. O teclado/capa inclui ainda um trackpad. O aparelho virá em duas versões, uma com processador Intel e Windows 8 Pro, e outra com processador ARM e Windows RT.
Estimativas feitas logo após o lançamento, no entanto, colocam o valor em um patamar mais elevado. De acordo com o site DigiTimes, o Surface equipado com sistema operacional Windows 8 e com processador Ivy Bridge deve custar mais de US$ 799, enquanto a versão com Windows RT e processador Nvidia Tegra 3, deve chegar ao mercado com valor acima dos US$ 599.
Caso se confirme o rumor, o preço do Surface deve desagradar parceiros comerciais da Microsoft. Há duas semanas, JT Wang o CEO da Acer, terceiro maior fabricante de computadores do mundo segundo dados do Gartner para o primeiro semestre desse ano, disse que a Microsoft deveria "pensar duas vezes" antes do lançamento.
O temor é a disputa por mercado entre o modelo da própria marca e outros com o Windows 8 embarcados. Segundo Wang, se chegar ao mercado com um valor muito baixo, como indicado pelo boato, o Surface vai "ferir a concorrência".
The tablet from Microsoft, scheduled for October 26, is expected to cost $ 199, according to a source quoted by U.S. website Engadget.

The fear is the competition for market share between the model's own brand and other embedded with Windows 8. According to Wang, is coming to market with a very low value, as indicated by the rumor, the Surface will "injure competition."
