Microsoft Surface Laptop and Pro increase the price barrier to budget buyers

Microsoft just placed an updated surface computer car slab on the pre-porous shelves, offering a fresh design language and a lower price required with its new tablet and laptop. While it was in it, the company has also attracted the Surface Pro and Laptop level models from its website.

For now, Microsoft’s online store only shows the Snapdragon X Plus and X Elite variants starting at $ 1,199. Likewise, the Surface Pro price now drops to $ 1,199.99 in Microsoft’s store for its cheapest configuration.

For the 15 -inch surface laptop, the access cost is glued to $ 1,499. Microsoft store currently lists the start price to $ 1,299 for this, but the 256 GB storage variant is currently out of stock.

In fact, you can no longer buy a 256 GB storage variant of the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop (13.8-inch and 15-inch) from the Microsoft website. When these two devices were presented last year, the two carried a starting price worth $ 999 to the US market.

What is changing?

This is not an increase in prices, by itself, as Microsoft has simply a low storage option from its store. Price obstacle for buyers has increased, however. In a statement shared with Engadget, the company says you can still buy $ 999 models from third -party retailers.

The outlet, however, notes that the price of loading accessories has increased by 33% under the surface label. The 127W charger now goes for $ 175, from his hit $ 125 not long ago. The 65W charger is climbed from $ 60 to $ 90 to the official store.

It is unclear how will last the supplies of $ 999 Surface Pro (13-inch) and laptop (13.8-inch) and if Microsoft will reset 256 GB models to its online store.

What are your options?

The latter seems impossible, as Microsoft is offering the new 12-inch surface laptop and 13-inch surface laptop at a lower price required. For 13 -inch surface laptop, keep in mind that the choice is between SSD and UFS storage, and modules are not even recommended by the user.

Microsoft’s new tablet starts at $ 799, which gives it a lot of breathing space against the greatest surface pro. It introduces a fresh design language for the tile as well as the keyboard. This offers X Snapdragon of Qualcomm middle level, snylicon, 16 GB of RAM and a new magnetic charging system for the top.

Coming to the 13-inch surface laptop, is a Wannabe Air MacBook with a similar design, the same memory and processor situation as her 12-inch sister of the tablet, and a $ 899 price price in the US, however, she is missing on a quick refresh screen and does not leave his rival restrictions.
