Microsoft Corp. reduces prices for internet tablet Surface RT by 30% in order to make another attempt to attract customers from users of Google and Apple. Thus, in the U.S. the cheapest model will cost $ 349, whereas originally it was sold for $ 499. Exactly the same model with a keyboard-cover will cost $ 449, whereas initially it was worth $ 599. A model with twice the memory now costs $ 499 (without keyboard), against $ 549 previously.
Analysts say that the first tablet to Microsoft was not able to attract the attention of customers and business users since its debut.
