Microsoft Surface Windows RT tablet reportedly priced at just $199

Pricing the Windows RT version of the tablet at under $200 would certainly be a game-changer for Microsoft, though the company would very likely be taking a major hit to its bottom line for selling such a high-end tablet for such a low price. At the same time, such a move might make sense because Microsoft is showing up very late to the tablet market that is already well-stacked at both the high end with the Apple  iPad and the lower end with the Google  Nexus 7 and Amazon  Kindle Fire.Maybe Microsoft is planning to throw some serious cash at the problem and offer people a high-quality tablet at a low price and hope for the best.
