Microsoft's Windows 8 Surface Tablet To Cost £650 - Rumour

Microsoft's recently-revealed tablet, Surface, could end up costing at least £650 according to reports.

A Scandinavian retailer has hinted at the premium price for the entry-level 32GB model, according to WPCentral.

£650 would make Surface by far the most expensive tablet on the market - the entry level iPad, at 16GB, costs £399, while Google's Nexus 7 tablet starts at a mere £159.99.

The Windows 8 Pro Surface SKUs are set to run the incoming OS and will be available in 64GB and 128GB models - it could launch as early as October alongside Windows 8.
