Microsoft Surface RT with Keyboard $199

[Boris Stupak]

Microsoft is finally dumping the Surface RT's at blowout prices. The suckers who bought just yesterday paid $379 from the same vendor.

At this price, it's a steal, practically disposable. Netflix is free, Skype, and a bunch of photo apps can be downloaded. Also, it has a USB port for importing camera files.

They throw in a $100 keyboard. I bought one, even though I'm a die-hard Mac user. At this price, I'll give it to my kids to watch Netflix and games. I just wanted to fool around with one.

was looking for a tablet alternative ever since I dropped my iPad and smashed it. I might bite. Does anyone except Boris know how this compare to the iPad?

I'm not a product reviewer, sport. Just mentioning a good deal.

If you're Google-challenged, you should just get another iPad and smash that one too.

Ok, let's relax guys.

They sold 5000 in a few hours. Looks like the deal is dead now, out of stock.

The just put this deal up, 64gb, no keyboard.

Boris,
Thanks for posting this. My wife wanted one of these and I was able to get in on it before they sold out

Save your money. It's a horrible device.
Many of my friends at MS can't stand it.
I trained on one just for product knowledge to help clients who bought them.... baaah!
Last winter in Seattle there were tons in CL.
All from MS employees re-selling thier annual bonus Surface giveaway !

I have the Surface Pro. Great 'laptop'. Makes a decent tablet as well with full functionality (like a USB port). What I like best is it boots in 10 seconds. I don't know if I could go back to a normal laptop, I keep touching the screen 🙂.

I don't think the RT version was ever going to survive with the Pro just a couple of hundred bucks dearer. Though I know that those that have them seem to be happy.

BTW, I also did share an iPad with my partner. Now no need and I don't have to buy any extra connectors just to load stuff on it.
