Microsoft may be going to cut the Surface RT tablet prices down by $150. This means that after the price cut, you can get the 32GB base version Surface RT tablet at just $349 (RM1106) while the 64GB version would go for $449 (RM1422). Adding on an extra $100 would get you the Touch Cover.
While the price cut could be in answer to the upcoming slew of 8-inch Windows 8 tablets (like the Acer Iconia W3) it is more likely that it is because the Surface tablets are soon going to get an Intel Haswell refresh. Microsoft would then be lowering the current Surface RT prices to clear stock. Other rumours indicate that there could also be Surface tablets using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 processor. In any case, the price cut should be carried out on or after 14 July 2013.
