News & Reviews:   Microsoft Surface

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.

Microsoft's Windows 8 powered Surface tablets are finally coming to Malaysia in full force. While the lower-end Microsoft Surface RT is set to make an appearance tomorrow, the Microsoft Surface Pro may arrive in Malaysia by the end of June 2013. No exact date was specified exactly but it does mean that we'll see the Surface Pro in just a few more months.
