They priced it competitively with the product they were fighting. But now its prices way less than iPad. iPad - $500 Surface RT - $350

regarding comparison with iPad, the CPU GPU combination does not matter because Surface was/is still plenty fast with the hardware it has. Agree on the screen and Office though. Although office was updated a month or two after the rele

Given the razor thin margins that Amazon runs with, I am not surprised. This is a company that is struggling to make any money even after people bought hundreds of Billions of dollars worth of stuff from them. They are bound to cut corners

What this is is another proprietary technology that Google has chosen to adopt over open standards such as WFD and Miracast. After tuning off support for jabber, deprioritizing rss, yet another step in that direction from a company that tou
