Microsoft Surface Pro, the second tablet produced by Microsoft, will be released in the US at a starting price of $899 in the near future. The tablet works on the basis of an Intel processor, has hardware similar to that of a laptop, has a touch screen, is complimented by Windows 8 and it has a reasonable price. The tablet does not compete directly with iPad, considering the price and specifications, but it could seriously affect the sales of ultrabooks, for example.
Although it does not compete with the iPad tablet, the Microsoft Surface Pro competes in price with MacBook Air- and here an important battle could take place. Many will have a choice between a MacBook Air with OS X, and good autonomy, and a Microsoft Surface pro tablet with a touch screen, somewhat weaker autonomy, and Windows 8. To be honest, I think the MacBook Air will win at the moment because of the production problems of the Surface, but no one he does not know what will happen in the future.
