Microsoft Surface Affordable: It's Confirmed

According to information disclosed by Bloomberg, Microsoft allegedly filed patents on a more affordable Surface than the current Surface Book and Surface Pro .

Despite Commercial failure of Surface 3 Microsoft did not abandon the idea of ​​ competing with Apple and its iPad . Rumors about a new range of Surface tablets began to emerge in May, and everything now leads to believe that the Redmond firm will formalize its new products imminently.

Who says more affordable also says less powerful . The new Surface should therefore be equipped with processors that consume less energy but also perform less well. The i5 and i7 processors will therefore be replaced by an Intel Pentium Silver N5000 processor, for the cheapest tablets, or Intel Pentium Gold 4410Y or Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y, for others. They should be equipped with a 10-inch touch screen, will charge through a USB 3 port, and weigh less than the current Surface. Their selling price should be around $ 400 (1945).
