So, just weeks after giving the Surface RT tablet a price cut, the Surface Pro Tablet gets a similar price cut. The Verge is reporting that the Surface Pro was cut by $100 over the weekend. They reached out to Microsoft for a comment and got this statement back:
Microsoft has confirmed to The Verge that between August 4th and August 29th customers in Canada, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the US will pay $100 less for Surface Pro. “We’ve been seeing great worldwide success with Surface RT pricing and keyboard-cover promotions over the past several months and are proud to offer Surface Pro at more affordable prices starting today.”
By saying that “We’ve been seeing great worldwide success with Surface RT pricing and keyboard-cover promotions over the past several months” almost implies that they were overpriced to begin with. But we’ll see proof of how successful they are with their pricing promotions when their next set of numbers come out. Hopefully for their sake, they aren’t having to take another $900 million writedown on Surface tablets again.
