Microsoft's Intel-powered Surface to Cost $1000

[JMH]

Rumor has it Microsoft's 10.6-inch Surface Pro is going to cost a thousand dollars.

Though Microsoft was happy to show off the Surface's nifty keyboard cover and boast about its Core i-series support, the company was a little less enthusiastic when it came to talking about the price of its new tablets. Set for availability in the fall, the most Redmond would say was that the ARM-based Surface would be priced "like comparable tablets based on ARM," and the Surface Pro would pack something similar to the price of an ultrabook.
