It’s been a few months since we first heard of Microsoft’s upcoming Surface tablets. While most think of the industry giant as a software maker, it’s made hardware before, both for good (Xbox) and ill (Zune). The Surface in particular is an interesting product, because it’s not an exclusive one. Microsoft will launch a 10.6″ Windows 8 RT edition tablet to directly compete with tablets from Windows 8 licensees like Lenovo, Acer, Samsung, and Sony. It’s unclear what advantages the home-grown Surface may have over those other tablets on a technological basis, but now we know one more detail — price.<\/p>\n
In what may or may not be an accidental leak, pricing for the Surface showed up last night on Microsoft’s web store. The leaked price was quickly pulled down, but not before several news sites<\/a> snapped images (as seen below). Microsoft has now made the pricing official, so it turned out to be legit.<\/p>\n
