Microsoft Surface in home network - maybe just not yet

A recent release by Microsoft has people speculating on Microsoft Surface in home network - maybe just not yet. The company has been mum on the price, that is until now. (Image credit: Microsoft store)

The prices released on the online store state that the 32 GB model without the cool Touch cover will be $499, the 32 GB model with Touch Cover will be $599, and the 64 GB model will be $699. The Touch Cover is about $119.99, and the Type cover will be $129.

To encourage sales of Microsoft Surface in home networks, marketing for the Surface has already begun in certain cities with street art and official invitations a Surface launch event set to take place on October 25. From the price one would guess that Microsoft is wanting to compete head-to-head with the leading iPad, which starts at $499.

Microsoft has released a new commercial showing off the features of the new Surface, Windows 8-powered tablet, which you can see in the video below.

It looks as though the keyboard is going to make quite a difference. These prices are on the high end and not exactly designed to compete with the Kindle Fire as we originally thought might be the case. It looks like the tablet wars between the iPad and Surface will not be price based. Microsoft Surface in home network - maybe just not yet, tell us what you think in the comments below.
