When announcing its own devices powered by the Windows 8 platform, namely the Surface tablets, Microsoft announced that they would be priced in line with the currently available tablet PCs and ultrabooks.

At the time, many suggested that we might see the Windows RT Surface tablet going prices starting at $600, while the Windows 8 Pro-powered slate would cost over $800.

However, it appears that these devices might actually land on shelves with much higher price tags than that, if the info listed on a Swedish retailer today is to be believed.

Third-party retailer webhallen currently lists the Windows RT version of the Surface at 6,990 SEK ($1,000 / €830) for the 32GB model, and at 9,990SEK ($1,430 / €1,180) for the 64GB flavor. The Windows 8 Pro Surface slate, on the other hand, is listed at 12,990SEK ($1,860 / €1,540) for the 64GB version, and at 14,990SEK ($2.150 / €1,780) for the 128GB model.

Well it looks good but it's a little over priced.....Not to be "that guy",but an iPad is cheaper (and looks very good) and basically does the same thing.......
No way I'm paying 1.000$ for this device...

Agreed you can get an iPad for half that.

An iPad will last you a year before Apple release another updated version of the same crap.

Surface is laptop in tablet form, that will last twice or many more years.

However, too pricey for me, and I'm happy with my VAIO.
