Selling any device from the Surface portfolio isn’t an easy task. Keeping that in mind Microsoft earlier stayed apart from a price-sensitive country like India.
Things improved obviously from there and now Microsoft is all set to hold a press conference in India to launch what Microsoft calls it the most portable Surface, the Surface Go. Rumour has it that the company could also bring the all-new Surface Pro 6.
Microsoft’s Surface Books 2 and Surface Laptop were launched in India more than a year after it was launched in the USA and the UK. This holds true for all the Surface devices. But the good news is Microsoft is finally seeing value with its Surface portfolio in the Indian market and about to launch their latest device(s) the Surface Go, and the Surface Pro 6(rumor) in the market.
The pricing of any flagship device is a challenge for both the consumer and the manufacturer. This applies to Microsoft as well. It would be interesting to find out how much Microsoft asks for this device.
