How profitable is the Surface for Microsoft?
Does Microsoft consider it a loss-leader reference design?
If it's been profitable, why hasn't anyone else in the PC space copied it?
- josefresco 11y agoI believe (don't quote me on this) Microsoft is closing in on a billion (1) dollars in annual revenue from Surface. Not sure how much is "profit" but someone who follows earning more closely might be able to clarify.
- CountSessine 11y agoIf the form factor is really that successful, I wonder why no one else is copying it? The Surface itself is made by a Taiwanese company named Pegatron, which is a division of Asus - so it's even being made by an established PC hardware company.
