Microsoft Could Release Cheaper Surface Tablets to Rival the Affordability Factor of Apple’s iPad Lineup

The base model of the Microsoft Surface Pro starts from $799, while you can get Apple’s iPad 6 for $299 for the base model as well as with a free Apple Pencil with some offers. Seeing the success Apple has been able to garner, Microsoft is reportedly working on cheaper Surface tablets, which will be able to take on the cheaper iPad lineup and take the fight right to Apple.
The launch of the original Surface RT started from $499 but lack of app support forced the software giant to cancel this lineup and introduce the Surface Pro instead. According to a report from Bloomberg, the new tablets will sport screens sizes of 10 inches, which is around the same size as the 9.7-inch iPad and are expected to start from a price of $400. This is going to be dirt cheap, particularly devices that are running the complete version of Windows 10 and not something like Windows 10 S.
