We doubt that these prices are real, but a Swedish retailer has begun displaying the Microsoft Surface prices on its website. The company begin with the entry model at a hefty £648 (about $1000 USD) at the current exchange rate with prices going up to just over £1200 for the most expensive model.
Microsoft [MSFT] is unlikely to have revealed prices to retailers just yet and we’ve also heard that it is only selling through its own official channels, so the prices are probably just “best guess” albeit quite a bad guess hopefully.
If Microsoft opted for these prices then it will likely be a bad move for the company considering how the iPad and various Android tablets come in quite a lot cheaper.
Expect to hear something more official in the coming month regarding pricing and hope for the best that the Swedish retailer grossly over-estimated.
