"Microsoft is shaking up its PC lineup by instituting big price hikes, meaning you'll be paying at least $1,500 for Surface devices that launched at $1,000 just two years ago."
"The 12-inch Surface Pro tablet that originally started at $799 and the 13-inch Surface Laptop that launched at $899 now cost $1,049 and $1,149, respectively, a $250 price increase."
"Microsoft is blaming 'recent increases in memory and component costs' for the price hikes, with supply shortages for RAM and storage chips causing significant disruptions."
Microsoft is raising prices for its Surface PC lineup, with no new devices priced under $1,000. The 12-inch Surface Pro tablet and 13-inch Surface Laptop have seen price increases of $250, now costing $1,049 and $1,149, respectively. Higher-end models have increased by $300, now starting at $1,499. Microsoft attributes these price hikes to rising memory and component costs, exacerbated by supply shortages affecting the tech industry.
