It would be absolute suicide for Microsoft to release the Surface for anything north of 800$ (for the WinRT only version at least)

- rbanffy 14y agoAnything north of an iPad is suicide. If you had the choice of picking up a proven, popular tablet versus a more expensive, unproven, brand-new, version 1.0 tablet, which one would it be? ARM-based tablets are already unable to run current Windows software - there is no software-base advantage there as we had with Windows versus its competition over time. If it goes beyond iPad plus Nexus 7, it's certain, HP WebOS-style, doom. Not even funny.
- watmough 14y agoAs soon as you start talking about different versions, you've lost. You can have big memory, small memory, with or without cellular. Even Apple are stretching it, but if Microsoft fragment the perception by launching similar devices that run different software, they will be screwed.
