Microsoft's new Surface Pro and Laptop launch with higher prices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

These updated devices come with a significant price increase, with the Surface Pro starting at $1,499 (a $500 jump) and the Surface Laptop at $1,599 (a $600 increase). While offering improved graphics performance and longer battery life, the higher cost, coupled with the continued exclusion of the keyboard from the base price, may present a challenge for consumers.
