The Times Are a Little Difficult For The Maturation Tablet Market Quickly, which has just seen its first annual decline in shipments, according to a new IDC report. Seems to be a victim of Microsoft Surface 2 - the company has stopped manufacturing the Windows RT tablet.
Hot on the heels of this decision, Microsoft is temporarily cut the price for most configurations of its remaining Surface Pro 3 slate.
From now until February 7, you can get $ 100 off the price of the tablet that really wants to be a laptop - but with one notable exception. For budget buyers is unfortunately a base model configuration, which remains at $ 799. All other models get lower prices, so that the next cheapest version - with faster Intel Core I 5 and twice the storage of the base configuration - now only $ 899. Microsoft is also throwing in a free sleeve with any surface Pro 3, including the base model, to April 5.
IDC findings do not apply only to Microsoft's sales figures, but the timing of Microsoft's moves suggest it is not immune to the tablet market downturn. However, price reductions will help to better position the surface Pro 3 against its apparent main competition - the MacBook Air. For the same $ 899 price as the Air laptop base, the surface configuration offers the same amount of RAM and storage in the solid state, while providing a faster processor and slightly larger, the superior-screen res.
The price cut is enough to get you to buy a Surface Pro 3 in the coming days? Let us know in the Talkback section below.
