Microsoft has recently launched its Microsoft Surface RT touchscreen tablet with the 32GB version costing RM1549 and the 64GB version going for RM1849. Adding on the Touch Cover makes the 32GB version cost RM1849 while the 64GB version with the Touch Cover cost RM2149. Since the Touch Cover costs RM379 by itself, you get about RM79 discounted off. However, if you opt for the more robust (and mechanical keyboard-like) Type Cover you will have to get it separately at RM409. In general the pricing is lower here in Malaysia compared to Singapore but due to the currency conversion more or less matches with the price in the US.
In addition to these accessories, the tablet also comes with a number of other extra cables and plugs such as the HD Digital AV Adapter and VGA Adapter which both go for RM159. the 24W power supply costs RM149. All of these accessories and the Microsoft Surface RT tablet are available at Thunder Match, Challenger and Harvey Norman stores.
In related news the Microsoft Surface Pro (the one with Windows 8 Pro) is also coming to Malaysia but expect to see it by the end of June 2013. No exact pricing or release details just yet but check back and we'll keep you posted.
