INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Generally, Surface Pen accessories and Surface Pro keyboard covers are the same price as they were before.Microsoft also raised prices on
quick, you can still find the 256GB Surface devices in stock at third-party retailers
that Microsoft just announced
We'd expect these retail listings to vanish over the next few days or weeks, and we wouldn't expect them to come back in stock once they're
gone.Increased import tariffs imposed by the Trump administration could explain at least some of these price increases
Though PCs and smartphones are currently exempted from the worst of them (at least for now), global supply chains and shipping costs are
complex enough that they could still be increasing Microsoft's costs indirectly
For the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, the decision to discontinue the old 256GB models also seems driven by a desire to make the new
12-inch Pro and 13-inch Laptop look like better deals than they did earlier this week
Raising the base price does help clarify the lineup; it just does so at the expense of the consumer.
