R(a)YF: Microsoft's Surface going the way of the Touchpad.. Prices falling - cbelt3 - 07-15-2013
http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/11/4514888/microsoft-surface-rt-tablet-price-cuts
"Microsoft is planning to cut the price of its Surface RT tablets. Sources familiar with Microsoft's Surface plans have revealed to The Verge that the price cut could occur as early as next week, with each model being cut by $150. Microsoft's move to cut prices on its Surface RT tablets follow slow sales, and efforts to sell the devices elsewhere at lower rates. The software maker recently launched an education program to sell the Surface RT to schools at $199, and it has been clearing stock of its devices at its Tech-Ed and Worldwide Partner conferences recently."

Blankity- you can make a clicking noise closing your magnetic iPad cover too. It's OK.

They're also getting close to a year old without updated hardware.

from the article:
Microsoft is expected to refresh its Surface Pro with a Haswell processor, and the company has been testing Surface devices with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 processor. We're told that Microsoft is also planning to reveal new accessories for its Surface devices, including a battery-equipped keyboard cover that it has hinted at previously.

They market Surface like they expect you to do work on it. That's no fun. Tablets are for consumption, not production.

I guess I'm the only one here who has (some) interest in a Surface. I haven't played with one yet but I like the concept (Window 8 w/touchscreen, keyboard).
I am not a Mac Fan Boy and will switch to a better mousetrap when one is invented. I'm not saying with all certainty that the Surface is "it" (in fact I hardly think it will be) but I try to keep an open mind to new things. Ideas in the Mac World are pretty stagnant right now, Job's passing sure has left us with a lot of new nothing (IMHO)...
