Microsoft to release low-cost Surface tablet

Microsoft Corp. is planning to release a line of lower-cost Surface tablets as soon as the second half of 2018, seeking a hit in a market for cheaper devices that Apple Inc. dominates with the iPad, according to people familiar with the matter.

Microsoft has tried this before. The software giant kicked off its consumer-oriented hardware push in 2012 with the launch of the original Surface RT.

Hardly... Windows in Tablet mode is actually pretty good considering how powerful the OS is underneath it all..

MS already made a cheaper surface I remember it ran on an Atom and i3 for the top of the range variant
