Quite similar to the pricing of Apple's Wi-Fi only models, the Surface RT tablet by Microsoft will be available for pre-order from today. The first lot of deliveries in the United States will be made on October 26, just a day after an event is being scheduled for the media by the company.
Manufacturing of the Surface RT began at the beginning of October, and Microsoft has a targeted production of around 5 million units by the year end, to have some sort of competition with its rivals, who have also been ramping up their production volumes as of late.
Pricing details of the Surface RT have been revealed too, with the 32GB version (without Black Touch Cover) costing $499, the same version with the cover costing $599, and the 64GB version with the cover costing $699. For now, add-ons available include the Surface Touch Cover for $119.99, and the Surface Type Cover for $129.99. This 10.6" Wi-Fi Only tablet runs on the Surface RT operating system, and includes features such as an NVIDIA T30 processor, 2GB RAM, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi with two antennas and MIMO, two 720p cameras, a compass, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, dual microphones, stereo speakers, an HD-out port, a full-sized USB 2.0 port, a micro SD-slot, and Microsoft Office Home. It has a titanium shell and Vapor Magnesium (VaporMG) skeleton.
