Just in case you missed it,
Microsoft announced that its first
Surface Pros were rolling off the production line. So they should be available to consumers shortly. The
Surface Pro will sport an Intel Core i5 processor, and will come in a 64GB version and 128GB version, pricing has not been announced for the US. According to analyst,
Microsoft is expected to sell 2 million Surface Pros in 2013. Yes, for the whole year. Let's view this from another angle - Apple sells about twice that number of tablets a month. I posed the questions in a previous post,
"Does Microsoft Still Matter?" -
IDC believes that
Microsoft can gain 10% of the tablet market in 2013 - for their sake I hope its true. Windows 8 arrived as desktop and laptop sales plummeted - the surface arrived and no one lined up to buy it - the
Surface Pro, well its Windows 7 compatible. I think I'll pass.
