Surface Pro Price Tag: $899
Upcoming full Windows 8 Pro tablet will cost more than the Windows RT Surface
Ever since Microsoft unveiled the Windows RT Surface and its much more PC-like Windows 8 Surface Pro sibling, the big question has been about price. Well, consider the question answered: the Surface Pro will cost $899 for a 64GB version, and $999 for 128GB of storage. A full ultrabook-level Intel Core i5 processor, 10.6-inch 1,920x1,080-pixel display, 4GB of RAM, and an included Surface Pen are some of the Surface Pro's distinguishing features.

Those sexy Touch Covers and Type Covers, both of which are compatible with the Surface Pro, will be sold separately. The real question, of course, will be whether having a full Windows 8 experience on a tablet will be enough to stand out against similar products from other manufacturers, and whether the overall performance will make sense versus a convertible laptop like the Lenovo Yoga. The Windows RT version of the Surface starts at $499, with an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and 32GB of storage. The Surface Pro starts $400 higher, and falls more in line with the prices of full Windows 8 laptops and ultrabooks.
