Microsoft Expected to Drop Surface RT Price to $300

[newarkhiphop]

Now is not the time for fear, that comes later

Microsoft Surface RT comes with a starting price tag of $499 (€380) and, although the entry-level version has the same price as the cheapest iPad, many users have actually described it as a fairly expensive gadget.

But the Redmond-based giant may cut the Surface RT price by almost 38% in the next two months, PC-Tablet.com reported citing a Dealnews forecast.

Basically, Microsoft is now getting ready to release the Surface with Windows 8 Pro, so a price cut may actually boost sales of the RT version. In addition, sales of the RT tablet have remained slow, so this could be another last-minute attempt to increase sales.

$300 is what it should have retailed for since Day 1.

Microsoft needs to understand that the word "Windows" for an OS just doesnt hold the same weight it used to
